Porsche Carrera Cup North America again supports the Formula One Grand Prix for the fourth-consecutive season with a pair of 40-minute races. The new-for-2026 combination of the Porsche 911 Cup (Type 992.2) and Pirelli P Zero DHG tire makes its first appearance on the 3.363-mile circuit built around Hard Rock Stadium.
The Porsche 911 Cup delivers circa 520 PS from a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter boxer engine shared with the unit used in the Porsche 911 GT3 road car. The car has already proven to be quicker and more practical than the prior-generation car thanks to refined aerodynamics, cockpit ergonomics and updated electronics along with a popular air conditioning system for driver comfort. The Type 992.2 car is featured in just four championships this season: Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, and Porsche Carrera Cup North America.
Of five winners (Yves Baltas swept the Pro class) from the 2025 races, only Scott Blind in the Solairus Aviation Masters class returns in 2026. Current point leader Tyler Maxson finished second in Miami’s race 1 in 2025, while Aaron Jeansonne, second in points, earned a pair of top-five finishes in the same weekend.
