ISCRA Can-Am Cup Series

The ISCRA Can-Am Cup Series is the premier series of ISCRA. It is generally the series most referred to in discussion about the series, and is oftentimes referred to as "Cup" by the media.

The series has used the same points system for its entire history; points are awarded in descending order from 1st to 43rd (43 points for 1st, scaling down to 1 point for 43rd), including a 5-point bonus for leading a lap and an additional 5 points for leading the most laps of the race.

Cup Series cars are currently prepared individually according to strict series regulations. For the 2021 season, the series is moving to a new generation of rules, in the hopes of attracting new manufacturers, cutting costs, and making the cars more relevant to those on the road today.

Series Name
The Cup Series did not have a title sponsor from its inception in 1973 to the 1980 season, simply going by the ISCRA Grand National Series. In 1981, Copenhagen announced a seven-year title sponsorship of the series, changing the name to the ISCRA Copenhagen Grand National Series.

After this deal expired in 1987, Prestone announced it would take over title sponsorship, changing the name to the ISCRA Prestone Cup Series until 1993. MBNA would entitle the Cup Series from 1994 until 2004, when logistics company FedEx announced its sponsorship of the series from 2005 until 2014. During this time, the series was referred to as the ISCRA FedEx Cup Series.

Sports retailer Quiksilver signed a similar deal in late 2014, renaming it the ISCRA Quiksilver Cup Series from 2015 to 2018. It was announced in November 2018 that Can-Am would replace Quiksilver as the title sponsor beginning in 2019.
