TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH (May 31, 2017) — The Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA, a professional racing series featuring Porsche cars, will makes its first of two 2017 visits to Utah Motorsports Campus this weekend, June 2-4.

The series will be on track Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, practice is scheduled for 9:50 am, followed by qualifying at 1:10 pm and a race at 3:45 pm. Sunday’s schedule includes practice at 8:35 am, with qualifying at 11:05 am and the final race of the weekend at 1:10 pm.

The Fast Track Café will be open for lunch both days and the Rodizio Grill will be open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights as well as Sunday brunch.

Admission on Friday is free to everyone. Tickets for Saturday and Sunday are priced at only $5/day for adults, with kids 12 and under admitted free of charge. RV parking is available as well.

The Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA will return to UMC over the weekend of August 11-13, when it will share the track with the Pirelli World Challenge Championship.
