Sports Car Championship Canada
Canadian sports car series founded in 2021.
Sports Car Championship Canada (SCCC), officially called the Sports Car Championship Canada presented by Michelin for sponsorship purposes, is a professional sports car series in Canada run by FEL Motorsports. Launched in 2021, it was established to rival the existing Canadian Touring Car Championship. The 2025 season, its fifth, was set to run from May 16 to August 31, but on April 18, 2025, organizers postponed it due to a lack of entries.
The series originally held twelve rounds per season, but from 2023 onward it shifted to a tighter schedule of four events, each featuring sprint races of 30 and 40 minutes.
Three classes compete in the SCCC: one grand tourer category and two touring car classes. These are GT4, TCR, and TCA. The first season included only GT4 and TCR, though FEL Motorsports did not yet hold the TCR license for Canada. That license, obtained from World Sporting Consulting (WSC), was secured before the 2022 season. In October 2022, FEL Motorsports announced the addition of the TCA class for 2023.

Lore & Background
The Sports Car Championship Canada was launched in 2021 by FEL Motorsports as a direct competitor to the Canadian Touring Car Championship. Its inaugural season featured only GT4 and TCR classes, though the organizers did not own the TCR license for Canada at the time. FEL Motorsports obtained the Canadian organization license for TCR competitions from the World Sporting Consulting (WSC) prior to the 2022 season. In October 2022, the series announced the addition of the TCA class for the 2023 season. Starting in 2023, the series moved to a condensed four-event format, with 30- and 40-minute sprint races held at each event. The fifth season, scheduled from May 16 to August 31, 2025, was postponed on April 18, 2025, due to insufficient entries.
Reader's Guide
The Sports Car Championship Canada represents a recent attempt to establish a professional sports car racing series in Canada, directly challenging the existing Canadian Touring Car Championship. Its significance lies in its multi-class structure, initially featuring GT4 and TCR cars, and later adding the TCA class. The series' reliance on a condensed event format from 2023 onward reflects efforts to adapt to logistical and participation challenges. The postponement of the 2025 season due to insufficient entries highlights the difficulties faced by new racing series in attracting consistent competitor and spectator interest. The series' legacy is still being written, but it serves as a case study in the competitive landscape of Canadian motorsport and the organizational hurdles of launching a national championship.
