FEL Motorsports has released further details of the new GT3 Cup class that will be introduced to the Sports Car Championship Canada (SCCC) presented by Michelin in 2025, where all five available models of Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars will be eligible to compete.
The current 992 model will be eligible as well as the previous 991.1 (2017–2020), 991 (2013–2016), 997.2 (2010–2013), and 997.1 (2005–2010) Porsche GT3 Cup cars.
The decision comes after ‘extensive discussions’ with the Canadian GT3 Cup community to create an inclusive and competitive platform for teams and drivers across North America. The decision comes as FEL Motorsports hopes to get a significant number of GT3 Cup cars racing again after sitting idle in garages or participating in track days.
The 2025 GT3 Cup class will be invitational, adhering to the rules and technical regulations specific to each eligible model. The season will feature trophies, podium ceremonies, and a class champion will be crowned – but prize money will not be offered.
FEL Motorsports says these choices will allow them to focus on gauging participation levels and interest from the GT3 Cup teams and drivers, and that the insights gained from this season will inform plans for expanding and shaping the class for 2026 and beyond.
“After speaking to many teams and drivers, it became clear that balancing performance (BoP) across the various GT3 Cup models would be a challenge. We also wanted to avoid creating multiple small classes. This approach allows us to make informed decisions for 2026 and beyond,” said Chris Bye, President of FEL Motorsports.
“Our goal is inclusivity, and we’re excited to see the possibilities this new class brings. The response from the GT3 Cup community has been positive, and we’re confident this is the best path forward,” he added.
The GT3 Cup class will compete on the same specification of Michelin tyres used across all SCCC categories – GT4, TCR, and TCA. Drivers are required to hold a National license issued by ASN Canada or a comparable governing body such as SCCA Pro or IMSA.
The class will make its debut in the first races of the SCCC season, the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport) Labour Day Sprints on 16–18 May 2025.
