The new 992 generation 911 GT3 cup car made its world competition debut in Porsche Carrera Cup North America in 2021. The spectacularly styled cup car is the first racing version based on the current 992 generation road car and the first one-make cup racer of the German sports car manufacturer to feature a wide turbo spec body. Producing around 375 KW (510 HP), the new 911 GT3 Cup Type 992 exceeds the output of its immediate predecessor by 25 horsepower.
The series will again race at some of the biggest events on the North American racing calendar, including the 12 Hours of Sebring, Watkins Glen Six Hours, Petit Le Mans and at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Six Hours.
But the spotlight will shine even brighter for three key events where the Porsche Carrera Cup North America will compete on the world stage. The championship will once again compete on the Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend and will draw to a close – again on the Formula 1 program – at Austin's Circuit of The Americas with the United States Grand Prix. New for 2024 is the addition of the Canadian Grand Prix which sees the series returning to Canada after a year away.
