IMSA WeatherTech 101: The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is North America’s premier sports car racing series, featuring a diverse field of cars competing simultaneously on the same track. The series is divided into four main classes, grouped into two categories: Prototypes and Grand Touring (GT) cars. In IMSA races, all classes (GTP, LMP2, GTD PRO, GTD) compete on the track simultaneously, creating multiple battles within a single race. Faster prototype classes must navigate through GT traffic, adding strategic complexity and excitement. This weekend, Spike the Dragon competes in the LMP2 class with drivers PJ Hyett and Dane Cameron, in the No. 99 entry. Rexy competes in the GTD PRO class, with Laurin Heinrich and Klaus Bachler as his drivers. He is the No. 77 Porsche 911 GT3 R. When you see the cars on track, you’ll notice an illuminated LED panel. This panel will tell you where each car is running within its own class. In IMSA WeatherTech, entries compete within their class as well as overall. |
