The 2025 Porsche Motorsport North America one-make calendar has been unveiled by Porsche Motorsport North America with a focus on continuity for fans, participants and partners alike. The year will include Porsche Carrera Cup North America, as well as Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama and the Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West by Yokohama. Additionally, 2025 will see the Porsche Endurance Challenge North America return for a second season. In keeping with the proven strategy of consistency and participant interest, all four series will maintain a high level of date and venue carryover from 2024.

Carson, California. Porsche Motorsport North America (PMNA) has announced the 2025 race season schedules for each of its one-make championships with a focus on continuity. Each of the four championships will return with event calendars mirroring the successful 2024 race season. Competitors in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America, Porsche Endurance Challenge North America, Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama and Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West by Yokohama will again race on the continent’s most famous and popular road courses. Multi-class, single-brand racing will continue to support IMSA and IndyCar weekends in 2025. Porsche Carrera Cup North America, the premier one-make championship for the German marque in the United States and Canada, will again support Formula 1® at three events: Miami, Florida, Austin, Texas and in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

By utilizing the same car for all competitors, the demand for performance is on the driver and on the team alone. Porsche one-make racing, which dates to the founding of Porsche Carrera Cup Germany in 1990, is the backbone of the global Porsche Motorsport Pyramid.

Porsche Carrera Cup North America

Porsche Carrera Cup North America is the premier one-make race series in the United States and Canada utilizing a combination of the latest Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car, type 992, and Yokohama’s ADVAN® A005 racing slick to challenge the best road and street race courses on the continent. The fifth season of the championship is scheduled to host 16 rounds at eight venues. Each 40-minute race counts toward a season-long driver championship in each of three classes: Pro, Pro-Am and Masters as well as a Team champion.

As the pinnacle one-make series of the Porsche Motorsport North America Pyramid, the series is a launching point for young drivers aspiring to a career in auto racing. Previous champions Seb Priaulx (2021), Parker Thompson (2022), Riley Dickinson (2023) and two-time runner-up Kay van Berlo (2021, 2022) have each moved into open competition racing, where they compete in the SRO GT4 America, IMSA Pilot Challenge and/or the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Porsche Endurance Challenge North America

The Porsche Endurance Challenge North America returns as a four-event championship with each race lasting longer than 40-minutes. As it did in its inaugural 2024 season, cars which are currently authorized for the United States Auto Club (USAC) sanctioned Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama are eligible to enter the Porsche Endurance Championship. Details of the final structure of the Endurance Championship will be made available in the coming weeks.

"The goal in car setup is to find a fast balance and then fine-tune. We have carried the same philosophy to our scheduling for next season. We are fine-tuning to maximize what is already very good. The schedules for each of the one-make series have proven very popular with our competitors and fans so we want to continue with this successful formula, which we have enhanced from year to year by incorporating our series into highlight events such as NASCAR, Indy Car and Formula 1 to find the best mix. We have received positive feedback from the competitors, tracks and our partners at each level with this approach. We are looking forward to the new season opening, in traditional fashion, at Sebring in March." Volker Holzmeyer, President and CEO, Porsche Motorsport North America
