IMSA has confirmed 48 full-season entries for the 2024 season of the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, featuring an enhanced LMP2 field
The 2024 WeatherTech Championship and Michelin Endurance Cup seasons will feature a total of 48 entries across four classes – GTP, LMP2, GTD Pro, and GTD. This represents a 25% increase compared to 2023, with nine additional cars participating. The announcement of these teams and race cars in October, before the completion of the 2023 season, demonstrates the stability of the platform built by IMSA. The schedule for next year will include 12 different venues, with five rounds as part of the Endurance Cup season. Notable developments include the debut of Lamborghini Iron Lynx’s LMDh SC63 in the GTP class, and the doubling in size of the GTD Pro field with 10 entries comprising works-professional GT3 cars and teams. GTD remains the largest IMSA WeatherTech class with 17 cars for the full 10-round season.
