Details:
TPC Racing began racing in the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge in 2011, securing a 1st place Gold Championship in 2013, 2nd place Gold Championship in 2014, and a 1st place Gold Team Championship in 2016.

The GT3 Cup Challenge series, with strict homologation and restrictions, has proven to be an exciting and challenging test bed with a strong emphasis on vehicle setup and driver ability.

In the 2015 and 2016 seasons, TPC Racing had the opportunity to campaign a an active suspension setup by our partner companies, DSC Sport and Tractive Suspension. Our 2012 997.2 GT3 Cup Car was the first race car to campaign this level of active suspension in a pro race environment, and it proved highly successful, even helping us secure both a race lap and qualifying lap record at Watkins Glen in 2015.

Due to updated class restrictions, TPC Racing will not be running the DSC Sport/Tractive Suspension setup this season. Instead, we will be returning to the factory mechanical suspension system and using the data acquired at the race track to continue to develop our product line and services offered.

We will be posting schedule reminders, race weekend recaps, and any other relevant information related to our GT3 racing program here.


In the meantime, here are some our favorites moments from previous GT3 Cup Challenge seasons...

So they changed the rules because your Tractive DDA was just too good? haha. That sounds like F1.

HA! Sure we can go with that!

But no basically we've always run in the Gold Class, because it generally allows for us to play/test/develop a little more. The Gold class is always a generation behind (997.2 vs. 997.1/991.1 vs. 997.2). Usually they open up the shocks after x amount of years. Unfortunately, they did not this year so we still have to run stock everything.
