Road America is a crowd and driver favorite, known for being the longest circuit in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. It is the only race where all four classes – GTP, LMP2, GTD PRO and GTD – compete together in a 2h40m race. The track offers a variety of viewing options and a park-like atmosphere, earning the nickname “America’s National Park of Speed.” Drivers appreciate the wide surface and diverse corners, including the challenging 175mph “Kink” and long straights. Last year’s repaved surface posed challenges with varying grip levels, but the track is expected to be more forgiving this year. The Cadillacs and Acuras are poised to challenge last year’s champions, the No. 7 Porsche Penske Motorsport, led by Felipe Nasr and Dane Cameron, who have been dominant in the 2024 GTP championship season.
