Watkins GlenBy John Oreovicz, IMSA

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International is the first IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race since the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in March to feature all four classes – Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTD PRO), and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD). It’s also the third of five rounds in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup, producing a bumper field of 54 cars.

For GTP, Watkins Glen is already the sixth of nine races, signaling the start of the final stretch of the title fight. LMP2 has run only two of seven events so far this year, so its championship is just getting underway. For GTD PRO and GTD, the Sahlen’s Six Hours marks the halfway point of the season.
