What is the "Carolina Cup"?
The Carolina Cup Pro Series (CCPS) is a regional automobile racing series based in the southeastern United States.
The series is designed to promote fun, hassle free racing with a professional atmosphere.
CCPS is a points-based, team series, with cash awards for top finishers in each race and a cumulative cash prize for the overall points winner at the end the season.
CCPS races are all 45 minutes in length with a mandatory 2 minute pit-stop. Many teams opt to run one driver per race, however rules allow for a driver swap allowing more drivers to participate and gain valuable seat time.
