IMSA announces schedule updates for three events

THE MOVE IS TO ACCOMMODATE COMPETITORS PLANNING TO COMPETE AT THE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS ON SEPT. 19-20

These updates concern both the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge events.

• Originally scheduled to run May 1-3, the Acura Sports Car Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio will now take place on Sept. 25-27.
• IMSA Monterey SportsCar Championship at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca has been moved up one weekend to run on Sept. 4-6. By advancing this event, it will cause less headaches for competitors making their way to Le Mans. Even though the race is on Sept. 19-20, drivers and teams have an extremely busy week leading to the race.
• And then, the Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta has been moved to Oct. 14-17 instead of its original dates of Oct. 7-10, giving teams proper time to prepare for the next two endurance events with the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring  to be held Nov. 11-14.
