In 2006, it was created based on the growth of amateur touring car racing in Canada and the pent-up demand for a professional product.

The Grand Touring Class previously appeared only in CTCC's inaugural season in 2007, but rejoined the series in 2014 and includes makes such as Mustang, BMW, Nissan and Porsche.

This GT Cup class comprised ultra performance race cars such as Corvette, Viper, Ferrari 430/458, Nissan GTR and Porsche 991/991 GT3.

CTCC worked with the Sports Car Club of America and Grand-Am to solidify a set of rules that would respect both the B-Spec concept and goals of the different series.

Other eligible cars include the Chevrolet Sonic, Kia Rio, Mini Cooper, Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris.

Participating automotive brands include Acura, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Fiat, Ford, Mazda, MINI, Nissan, Scion, Subaru, Toyota and Volkswagen.
