Porsche Carrera Cup North America: Reflections Of Past 50 Races & The Exciting Future

Just over a month ago, the Porsche Carrera Cup North America waved the checkered flag on its 50th race, marking a significant milestone in its burgeoning history. While there have been many one-make racing series over time in North America, including the origins of the now world-wide Mazda MX-5 Cup series, this newest and youngest of series has some serious prestige behind it.

Known globally for its intense competition, technological innovation, and the sheer passion of its participants, the Porsche Carrera Cup series is a cornerstone of European racing. Many World Endurance Championship participants have come up through its ranks, including a few champions of Le Mans and the overall WEC winners each year. By bringing this level of competition to North American shores, it has opened up more opportunities for Canadians and Americans to get their foot on the global stage.
