A total of 77 cars are entered for three championship IMSA races July 17-18 at Sebring International Raceway. Headlining the weekend is the Cadillac Grand Prix of Sebring IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race with 29 teams entered. The AdventHealth 120 Michelin Pilot Challenge Series event has 35 cars entered and the IMSA Prototype Challenge field lists 13 entries.
The IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship returned to the track at Daytona on July 4 with the No. 55 Mazda Motorsports entry of Jonathon Bomarito and Harry Tincknell taking top honors in the DPi class. The Corvette Racing team of Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor captured Corvette‘s 100th all-time victory and the first for the brand-new Corvette C8.R. The Lexus RC team from AIM Vasser Sullivan dominated the GTD class. The LMP2 class was not included in the Daytona field.
A total of eight cars are scheduled to start at Sebring in the DPi class, five cars in LMP2, six entries in GTLM and 10 cars in GTD.
The Cadillac Grand Prix of Sebring is scheduled for 5:40 p.m. on July 18.
The largest field of the weekend will compete in the AdventHealth 120 Michelin Pilot Challenge race July 17 at 2:30 p.m. This will be the first event for the highly competitive series since its opening round at Daytona International Speedway in January, with a field of 35 cars scheduled to start the two-hour race in GS (22 cars) and TCR (13 cars).
While the IMSA Prototype Challenge field of 13 will be the smallest of the weekend, the highly competitive 1 hour, 45-minute race will be one of the highlights of the weekend for the limited number of fans in attendance.
Tickets must be purchased in advance at www.sebringraceway.com. The Cadillac Grand Prix of Sebring will be broadcast live on NBCSN beginning at 5:30 p.m. All three races are available through Trackpass on NBC Sports Gold in the United States, while IMSA.TV will stream these races and IMSA WeatherTech Championship qualifying.
