The Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA has announced its 2017 event schedule, which features eight events at six different tracks.
The all-Porsche race series is operated by Competent Motorsport and will begins its 11th year of operation in 2017.
Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA entries grew to record numbers this year with the addition of the Silver class, which utilizes the Porsche Cayman ClubSport GT4. Both the Diamond and Platinum classes, which utilize 911 GT3 Cup machines.
The series will once again feature eight weekends of competition, with every event including doubleheaders for a total of 16 races. The Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA series will visit several of the same tracks as it did this year including Sonoma Raceway, Utah Motorsports Campus, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and Circuit of the Americas. New for 2017 are Thunderhill Raceway Park and Road America.
Thunderhill will host the season-opening event on April 14-16. The series most recently competed at the facility in 2011. The Road America event will mark the penultimate round of the 2017 championship on Sept. 22-24. The series last ran at the historic road course located in Elkhart Lake, Wis., in 2014.
The 2017 season will see two visits to Utah Motorsports Campus outside of Salt Lake City, Utah as well as two trips to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with the 2017 season-finale held at the Monterey, Calif., road course on October 13-15 in conjunction with the Pirelli World Challenge finale.
“We were thrilled with our 2016 season, and this is a great way to launch 2017 with this announcement,” said Competent Motorsport President Greg Franz.
