TDS Racing has announced that it will run a two-car IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship LMP2 programme, the first for the French team in IMSA since 2023

IMSA has strategically shifted Michelin Pilot Challenge pre-season testing off the schedule for January’s Roar Before the 24 at Daytona, citing efforts to reduce team operating costs and logistical demands, a move that competitors have largely supported.

Sorry for the AI slop earlier, I was just wondering if anyone else had seen the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica and immediately thought of the Cadillac V-Series.R

I went to every GTP round this year and have been writing reflections. I guess I forgot to post the first two…

Since they are reflections and not race reviews or analysis, my bias definitely shows. But there’s a reason I went to every race, after all.

Hey guys, I’m a WEC fan who’s just getting into IMSA lately, looking to get tickets for the race weekend at CTMP but it seems like the tickets aren’t out yet despite the website showing info for the 2027 weekend already.
Does anyone know when tickets typically release?
Thanks for your help in advance!

(Edit: My other question is how much do tickets normally cost? I usually get GA tickets whenever i attend racing events, how much are tickets for the Sunday vs how much are they for Sat and Sun? )

I didn’t know it at the time, but I was in the presence of one of the last Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototypes to compete in 2016, before the DPi regulations came out. This was long before I ever knew what the prototype class was while I was in intro to motorsports, and this was one of the first pictures I’ve ever taken at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in Braselton GA. It says number 9 on the front clip, but it’s actually number 90. Here’s the win history on the car:

- Grand-Am Porsche 250, 2012
- Continental Tire Sports Car Festival, 2012
- Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen, 2014
- Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix, 2015
- Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen, 2015

Just going through the pictures of the car and comparing it to modern LMPs, GTPs, and LMDhs really puts into perspective how much chassis construction and racing technology as a whole has evolved throughout the past 15 years. We as a sport have come a long way.

I have attended Rolex for the last 3 years, which 2 I documented on video as a spectator.

The media accredited people I spoke at Rolex told me to post online and reach out to teams. On my last two years 2 videos I posted went viral, but I guess it wasn't enough. I will reach out to teams later this week, before the media cutoff for Rolex which I believe it's December (last year was late December). I will also attempt to cold DM drivers.

The other portion of media people just told me they got in through a friend. I don't have any friends at IMSA so this plan won't work

But if all this doesn't work, what do I do?

I saw a post from a girl who wanted to do social media for an IMSA team and it was pretty successful and IMSA liked it and commented on it! I'm usually a post my work kind of person.

I just don't feel comfortable posting myself online :( specially since I'm not a pretty face or anything like that. I'm just a dude with a camera with wants to tell a story behind my lens for a team.

If there are any videographers who can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!

edit: grammar

Hey all.

I've been a proud 24h going a dozen or so times since early 2000's. Last year we were finally upgraded to an RV spot. What a different experience, even though it's outside track. Anyways, this coming race we cannot make it, so I'm looking at selling them. is this a good venue/forum to do that, or is there better?

What would an early entry list for 2027 look like? With some teams pulling out and some new teams possibly joining, what are some rumored things for next year?

Hey all, I'm planning on going to Sebring for the first time in 2027 for my bachelor's party with some of my car friends. For those who have been there before, what's some advice for a first timer and is the $85 paid parking worth it?

Ford filming promo in LA and a name on the car! Wish we would get a better idea of if we get to see the GT41 compete in IMSA.

I know that the MPC will be part of the IMSA through the end of 2028. Is there any new information about what comes after that? I really like the MPC (especially the TCR class), and it would be great to see them continue in the long term.

Hi all, I’m new here. I was at the Watkins Glen circuit over the summer for a race, and while walking the woods near the track I found this in the weeds. As far as I can tell it’s a spoiler panel off a Ferrari Challenge Evo. If anyone can confirm this or tell me what it might be worth it would be greatly appreciated. (And if you’re really interested, I would sell it)

$45 for the Schumacher car.
$32 for the M4 gt3.
