ACI Announces Major 2026 Entry Expansion

Chattanooga-based ACI Motorsports today announces a major expansion of its 2026 racing program. The team will compete across multiple premier North American championships next year, continuing its rapid growth from a one-series operation in 2016 into a multi-series contender in GT and one-make competitions.

ACI will continue to compete in Porsche Carrera Cup North America (PCCNA) and Pirelli GT4 America (SRO), and is expanding its Porsche one-make program by entering the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America for 2026. After a banner season in which ACI fielded six entries in PCCNA and two cars in Pirelli GT4 America, the team secured the 2025 PCCNA Pro-Am championship. And within this same year, coming very close to clinching the Pro-Am title in GT4 America, delivering consistent podiums, race wins, and championship-level performance across both programs. Building on that momentum, ACI is doubling down on driver development, engineering, and partner activation for 2026.

Porsche Carrera Cup North America — ACI will continue its multi-car PCCNA program, returning to one of North America’s most competitive single-make series. PCCNA’s 2026 calendar features stops at major North American events and international-support weekends, including Sebring, Long Beach, Miami, Watkins Glen and Indianapolis.

Pirelli GT4 America (SRO America) — Building on the championship-contending 2025 campaign, ACI will again take on the challenge of Pirelli GT4 America in 2026 with a strengthened two-car program. The team’s return to SRO competition brings together elite drivers, race-winning engineering, and the competitive spirit ACI is known for across major circuits on the 2026 schedule: Sonoma, Circuit of The Americas, Sebring, and Indianapolis.

Porsche Sprint Challenge North America — For 2026 ACI is expanding into the Porsche Sprint Challenge program. The Sprint Challenge is a proven development ladder and highly visible one-make series that races on many of the same marquee weekends. ACI currently has two Sprint Challenge entries confirmed and is actively looking to add more. (Porsche Sprint Challenge)

• Two entries confirmed for Pirelli GT4 America.
• Full PCCNA program details and final entry list will be announced as driver lineups are finalized.

Team statement
“We started ACI in 2016 with one car and a simple goal, to develop drivers and build a team that is a championship contender,” said the ACI management team. “After monumental success across Carrera Cup and GT4 last season, expanding into Sprint Challenge and committing to multiple series in 2026 lets us create stronger driver pathways, give sponsors more exposure across bigger events, and continue building a championship-caliber program. We’re excited for what’s next.”

Why 2026 matters for ACI and partners

• Multi-series presence increases seat time for drivers and development continuity between one-make and GT competition.
• Shared weekends between PCCNA, Sprint Challenge, and SRO events create cross-series marketing and hospitality opportunities for partners.
• ACI’s proven operations, experienced engineering staff, and recent podium record make the team an attractive partner for brands seeking performance and authenticity in motorsport.
