Porsche Motorsport North America has announced the seven-round 2027 Porsche Carrera Cup North America calendar, continuing a tradition of racing at the largest road racing events in North America, highlighted by a debut as a support race at the Rolex 24 At Daytona in January.

The 2027 Porsche Carrera Cup North America calendar features seven of the most recognizable road racing events in the United States, ranging from traditional road course events in conjunction with the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, the world stage in support of Formula 1® rounds at Miami & Austin, plus another highlight appearance at the Grand Prix of Long Beach.

The renewed IMSA contract and the return of the Porsche 911 Cup car (Type 992.2) on Pirelli P Zero DHG tires brings continued stability to the premier one-make series in the United States as Porsche Carrera Cup North America enters its seventh season.

The 2027 season will commence at Daytona International Speedway, 27–29 January, at the famed 24-hour race. It marks the first time that Porsche Carrera Cup North America has raced at Daytona, supporting a race won by Porsche a record 24 times overall.

The championship remains with the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship for races at Sebring International Raceway and the streets of Long Beach. For the fifth season in a row, the series will return to South Florida for the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.

Following a summer break, Carrera Cup North America meets up with IMSA endurance rounds at Road America and Road Atlanta before the finale at the Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. This will be the fifth consecutive year the championship will wrap at Circuit of The Americas.

Porsche Motorsport North America renews agreement with IMSA.

“Our 2027 schedule is a purposeful balance of quality and quantity for our teams, drivers and partners,” Volker Holzmeyer, President & CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America, said.

“The addition of Daytona adds another highly desirable event to our calendar. Our work with IMSA has helped us grow and continue this program and we’re thankful to the IMSA team for continuing this relationship. We’re appreciative of everyone working together to make Porsche Carrera Cup North America the premier one-make championship in North America.”

"IMSA is proud to confirm a multiyear agreement to continue sanctioning the Porsche Carrera Cup North America," said IMSA President John Doonan. "The Porsche brand is synonymous with endurance sports car racing and Porsche Carrera Cup North America races are a natural fit on our event weekends.

"Over the years, this series has been a key developmental step for drivers and teams on their way into series such as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, in addition to being a destination series for Porsche enthusiasts. We are grateful to our partners at Porsche Motorsport North America for continuing to trust us with one of their prized possessions."

Legendary tracks and driver pathways define Carrera Cup.

Daytona, Sebring, Road America and Road Atlanta will make up the ANDIAL Cup in 2027, a championship within a championship where drivers compete exclusively on North America’s most iconic and storied road courses.

Porsche Carrera Cups around the world are a proven step for young drivers aspiring to a career in auto racing. As the pinnacle one-make series of the North American Porsche Motorsport Pyramid, Porsche Carrera Cup North America has helped launch the careers of previous champions Seb Priaulx, Parker Thompson, Riley Dickinson, Loek Hartog and Ryan Yardley into open competition around the world.
