The Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama is a one-make racing series based in Canada utilizing Porsche 911 GT3s.[1]

The Ultra 94 GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama features semi-professional drivers racing head to head in one of the largest single-make series in North America. The multi-class structure of the series teaches drivers essential skills for an eventual career in Porsche Supercup or the American Le Mans Series.

The series is divided into two classes; the Platinum Cup, featuring the more powerful Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 991.2 cars, and the Gold Cup, which includes the older 991.1 model. Both classes race on Yokohama racing tires.

The series is sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association, and is a development series to the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Randy Hembrey was the Race Director from 2013-2014, followed by Kyle Novak. Starting in 2018, the series Race Director is John Maesky.
