Porsche releases 2025 one-make series schedules

Porsche Motorsport North America released the schedule for all its one-make series in North America, and the calendars will look quite familiar to participants and fans. Each of the four championships will return with events mirroring the 2024 race season.

“The goal in car setup is to find a fast balance and then fine-tune,” said Volker Holzmeyer, president and CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America. “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, IndyCar 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.”

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, Austin, and in Montreal.

Carrera Cup North America is the top tier of the Porsche Motorsport pyramid that also includes the Porsche Sprint Challenge and the Porsche Endurance Challenge North America. All three series utilize the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, type 992 and Yokohama racing tires, providing continuity up the ladder.

The fifth season of Porsche Carrera Cup North America (PCCNA) 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.

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.

Entering its fifth season, Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama has proven a vital and vibrant one-make series with a focus on learning the craft of professional motorsport. In 2025, the national series keeps its core events as it has since the series’ creation in 2021. One exciting addition will be the premiere of Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on both the Sprint Challenge North America and Sprint Challenge USA West schedules.

The Porsche Sprint Challenge USA West by Yokohama moves into its fourth season with great momentum as well. Focused primarily on tracks in the western portion of the United States, the series runs to the same regulations as the national series and shares select dates. Porsche Sprint Challenge North America and USA West continue as the primary feeder series to Porsche Carrera Cup 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.

All rounds of the 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup North America will again be found on IMSA.tv, the NBC Peacock streaming app, PorscheCarreraCup.us, the IMSA and PMNA YouTube channels as well as on PMNA social channels such as Facebook, X and LinkedIn. The Porsche Endurance Challenge North America, Porsche Sprint Challenge North America and Porsche Sprint Challenge USA championships, all supported by Yokohama, will continue to be found live on the PMNA YouTube channel.
