Spoke with Carrera Cup NA officials at Petit.. 3 classes as follows:
Pro, Pro am and ‘Rookie’ (This name to change for under 23 drivers)
Pro am geared towards master age drivers. Suggested 2 age groups: 45+ and 55+...?
Pro must run 992..
Pro am can run 992 or 991.2
Final details still open for discussion as of October 17. Competitors can forward input directly to Brian Blocker @ Imsa..

I wonder who would be classified as "PRO" as all the cars are being bought by (pro-am) gentleman or teams for (pro-am) customers. (i assume a double car team might have a pro in one car perhaps??)
In regards to the 991.2 drivers, i wouldnt appear fair to run against the 992? Would it make sense as opposed to the new "Sprint Cup" with all 991 cars?

Merely a guess but pro could be anyone who has held a silver or gold license in last 2-3 yrs? Agreed Pro class could be the smallest..
992 class and 991.2 class should be separate championship within pro am ie platinum/gold currently.
officials did mention they’re doing their best to keep all the teams happy which is impossible..
