The Porsche Carrera Cup North America roars back into action this weekend, staying in the Sunshine State for Round 2 of the season's doubleheader – this time under the global spotlight of Formula 1's Miami Grand Prix.
Set against the backdrop of the iconic Hard Rock Stadium, the 3.362-mile, 19-turn street circuit in Miami Gardens will stage races three and four of the 16-round calendar for the blistering Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars (Type 992). The 28-car field will once again battle it out on Yokohama ADVAN slicks – the second straight year the series has run the Miami layout with that setup.
Track activity kicks off Friday with a pair of 30-minute practice runs before qualifying and the weekend’s opening race on Saturday, May 3. Sunday’s feature – a 40-minute sprint – gets underway bright and early at 10:15 am, acting as the warm-up act before Formula 1 lights go out later that day.
This Miami stop marks the first of three Porsche Carrera Cup North America rounds running alongside F1 this season, with Montreal and Austin still to come. It’s the third year in a row the series has taken on the streets of South Florida, and defending champ Riley Dickinson returns looking to repeat the sweep he pulled off here in 2023 en route to his title with Kellymoss.
Zachary Vanier, who notched his first-ever series win in last year's Race 2 at Miami, is also back in the mix for JDX Racing, while other returning Grand Prix circuit winners include Yves Baltas, who mastered the wet in Montreal, and Ryan Yardley, a 2023 victor at Circuit of the Americas with Topp Racing.
With anticipation building, GOAL delves into the key details of this highly awaited championships, including where to watch, venue, schedules and how to watch.
