IMSA Northeast Grand Prix

What’s Racing:
At Lime Rock for the Northeast Grand Prix weekend, IMSA brings three series with five different classes of racing. From production-based cars to LM P3 prototypes, this is the apex of endurance racing in North America.

• In the premier WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GT Le Mans class, race-bred cars from factory and privateer teams battle for the overall win. This exciting class includes factory teams from Ford, Chevrolet, Porsche, Ferrari and BMW
• In the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GT Daytona class, GT3-spec race cars join the party this year, including Lamborghini, McLaren, Audi, Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG, Lexus and Acura NSX. Another exotic, hard-racing field
• The Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge Grand Sport class now welcomes GT4-spec cars, which means in addition to the Porsche Caymans GT4, Ford Mustangs and Chevy Camaros, you also now have fantastic factory-prepped machines from makers such as McLaren and Aston Martin
• The Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge Street Tuner class sees a terrifically diverse variety of cars such as the Audi S3, Mini Cooper JCW, Porsche Cayman, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Nissan Altima and BMW 328i
• 2017 is the first year for the Prototype Challenge Presented by Mazda. With a variety of new closed-cockpit LM P3 prototypes each powered by 420 h.p. V8s, this series was created to develop drivers and teams for the next generation of Daytona Prototype international competitors.
