Northeast Grand Prix: IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge
Friday, July 16 - Saturday, July 17, 2021
The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is one of the premier sports car racing series in the United States and Canada organized by the International Motor Sports Association or IMSA for short. The series competes at some of North America's most recognized sports car venues, including Lime Rock Park for the Northeast Grand Prix held on July 16-17, 2021. The WeatherTech SportsCar Championship features multiple classes of awe-inspiring sports cars racing on the track at the same time, making for seemingly endless passing throughout the race. The majority of the races are timed races of 2 hours and 40 minutes.
- 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 Michelin Pilot Challenge Grand Sport class 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 Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR class is made up of front-wheel drive cars with four or five doors produced by mainstream automotive manufacturers

Event requirements
Due to the continued limit on the number of workers per station (2 unless there is an outpost) and the desire to have teams kept together for the weekend, we will be reviewing and approving worker registrations based on experience, and number of days working the event. If family members will also be working, they should register at the same time. If only able to work one day, please register and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
On-Site Registration: will be at the Flag Meeting location. All flaggers (except campers) must enter the track at the Track office (497 Lime Rock Road) and park in Z lot, then come to the flag meeting location. The morning of your first day working you will complete payroll paperwork (if you have not already done so) and get your "hot track" pass, and every morning everyone must sign the insurance waiver (even those with LRP credentials) and the sign-in sheet.
