Default Pirelli GT3 Cup vs IMSA Yokahama GT3 Cup Challange

wondering what the difference between these two race organizations is??

IMSA GT3 Cup looks to have 12 races across the US

Pirelli GT3 Cup series looks like it's 9 races also across US and some in Canada

Looks like they use the same Porsche Cup car in both series.

Any big differences I'm missing? if the level of competition stiffer on one than the other?

In the IMSA series you will be going up against very young very rich go kart champions viing for the factories attention.
The Pirelli Cup out on the West Cost has a more diverse level of age and expertise. It is still competitive but offers a greater amount of track time.

IMSA GT3 Cup is very hardcore, used to develop young drivers in Porsches. Same for PWC GT Cup Class but with a much smaller field, both hold races across the country.

Pirelli GT3 Trophy Cup is a West Coast based Gentlemen's series that focuses on more or amateur racing with smaller Club Race weekends....

We support and help develop drivers in the PWC and PDC Trophy Cup at GMG.


Cheers,
