Hey guys I recently went to my first IMSA race at Watkins Glen and loved it! I was wondering if anyone else here has been to both. I’m thinking about going next January down to Florida to see it.

With Wtr returning to Cadillac next year. (Last I read they were in final talks of the dea). It was speculated that MSR would pick up the two Acura’s Wtr is running as the #10 and #40 this year. Source: official Imsa insta.

For a race like Daytona that is 24 hours, if you are sitting grandstand or paddock, can you leave the circuit during the race or once you leave you cannot re enter? I am looking to go but curious what the majority of people do if they don’t physically sit there for the whole time.

Hi everyone, Me and my cousin want to travel from montreal to watkins glen in 2025. I really don’t know what to expect. Its our first travel to watch imsa. I have lot of questions ?

Me and my cousin really don’t want to camping on the track. We want to sleep in a motel/hotel near the track ? What are the best place ?

I know that this race is alway admission general ? What are the vibe of this even. Is every stand are always available ? Could we walk and seat like we want ? If we sleep in a hotel, will it be more difficult to find seat ?

When to expect to buy the ticket?

Should we come in the middle of the week ? Is there a good program ?

If we come early, is the city have good restaurent and bars ?

Thank you very much

Hi all,

I’m a new fan to the series and worked up the motivation to go to a full IMSA weekend hopefully in 2025. I’m eyeballing the Battle on the Bricks at IMS.

My first live exposure was the VP Racing Challenge (I call it diet IMSA) at St. Pete in 2024 and I’m dying to see the top categories in action.

My questions:

1) I’ve got mostly everything figured out logistically except for Hotel, and advice on where to book?

2) Does IMS get busy for this on a Sunday? Is it possible to park near the track?

3) How is general admission?

4) What other races would you highly recommend on the calendar other than this one?

Thanks in advance!

I wrote up my predictions on my blog, including a rough concept of what the car might look like. I'd love to hear your guys' feedback!

Hey y’all I’m very new to imsa but I’ve been into Motorsport for a while watching f1 and wec, so I am really considering going to the sports car weekend in road America. So I would like to know from all you who’ve been to an imsa race, what are some of the things that make it interesting/fun? And is it worth it to go to the whole weekend or would going just to the Saturday-Sunday races be enough? Any other info would help thanks!

I'm from South Africa and would like to go to Rolex 24 hours next year. ATM this is just an idea and something i'd like to do. any pointers other internationals can give me?

Edit I should have added that I have family that live in Virginia but that is a bit out of the way.

Hello. I am planning to go to Watkins Glen next year for the 6 hour race. I wanted to know how ticketing works if there is parking? What are the best grandstands/views at the track? What are prices like? Do they sell individual day passes or weekend only? Any tips is greatly appreciated. TIA

I am planning on going to the rolex 24 in 2025 but I can't seem to find a straight answer on where the general admission seating is. I don't see any option for reserved seating so is GA just first come first serve for the grandstand seats or am I missing the reserved seating?

I’ve seen several questions on the alcohol situation at RA, but I’m used to bringing a canopy with me to the Rolex 24. Per the RA guidance, that seems to be basically a no-go. Anyone here have any experience? Thank you!

The countdown for Petit le Mass has officially begun on the Road Atlanta website. Sorry if it seems early but I'm already excited.

We have mutually agreed not to go forward together past this year,” Derani said. “We’ve had a fantastic time together with two championships, two endurance championships and many race wins and pole positions. I truly have enjoyed my time with this team and with Cadillac. I appreciate everything they’ve given me, what they’ve done for my career and all the good times we’ve had together will forever be in my memory. It’s time to go win a third championship this year together before both of us move different ways.”"

The rumors about Lamborghini's entry into LMDh have been confirmed, although teams have yet to be confirmed and will not be known for awhile.
