Can-Am Challenge BMW Club Race - Watkins Glen
Watkins Glen InternationalAbout this event
Please join us May 16th thru 18th for GVC's BMW CCA Club Race weekend at Watkins Glen - this will be a Premier points event.
Come out and represent your country in the Can-Am Challenge! It will be Team USA vs Team Canada in an expanded 5 part event series this year: 1) Watkins Glen in May; 2) NJMP-Thunderbolt in June; 3) Mosport in June; 4) NJMP - Lightning in August, and 5) Watkins Glen again in September, paying homage to the historic Can-Am series that spanned the Canadian and United States border from 1966-1974. A team-based points scheme determines the annual winner, with a special Can-Am trophy to be presented for the country that wins the challenge! This trophy will again be “up for grabs” in the 2025 season.

If you have attended the club race at Watkins in the fall for the last couple years, there has been an opportunity with the Trackmasters organization to get some practice/test and tune time a day or two before the club race at Watkins. A similar opportunity exists for this club race in May. Once registration links are available with Trackmasters, we will make them available here for anyone looking for some extra track time on Wed and/or Thursday.
