The Platinum Cup features 2008 and 2009 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars and the Gold Cup runs Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars from 2005 through 2007. Cooper Tires Prototype Lites Championship Series – The Prototype Lites feature multi-class racing, presenting a diverse dimension of competition as drivers must be acutely aware of classes with cars running at distinctly different speeds as they navigate the race tracks. The series features global race car constructors Elan Motorsport Technologies, West Race Cars, and Van Diemen Motorsports. Cooper Tires Presents USF 2000 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Powered by Mazda – For nearly 20 years, F2000 has earned its reputation as the entry-level pro series of choice for career-minded open-wheel drivers.
