Porsche Carrera Cup North America returns to its roots this week. After two race weekends supporting the Formula 1 ® World Championship, first at Miami and then at Montréal, the premier one-make series returns to its role supporting IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s Six Hours of The Glen.

Watkins Glen International will host rounds seven and eight of the 16-race 2024 Porsche Carrera Cup Challenge North America calendar. The June 20 – 22 weekend will feature 35 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars across the three classes.

The 3.4-mile, 11-turn traditional road course in the Finger Lakes region of New York state will host the two, 40-minute races. Practice begins on Thursday morning, June 20, with a second session that afternoon.

A 30-minute qualifying session for all cars comes on Friday morning with the first of the two rounds to take the green flag at 4:20 p.m. ET on the afternoon of Friday, June 21. The second race, round eight and midpoint of the season, will run at 11:00 a.m. ET on Saturday, June 22.

Watkins Glen International has hosted two rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup North America each season since the series debut in 2021. But Watkins Glen has a much longer tradition of hosting Porsche one-make racing. The Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama celebrated its 100th series race at “The Glen” in 2013.
