The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship hits its midseason mark with a return to endurance racing, as all four classes go wheel-to-wheel for six hours at the iconic Watkins Glen International.
After dominating the early stretch of the season with four straight wins, Porsche Penske Motorsport still sits firmly atop the Grand Touring Prototype standings. But it was Acura who stole the spotlight last time out, snapping Porsche’s unbeaten run with a big win in Detroit on May 31.
The top-tier prototype field has been wide open in recent years at The Glen — a fast, flowing 3.4-mile circuit with 11 corners nestled in the hills of New York. Five different manufacturers have tasted victory here over the past four editions: Porsche (2024), BMW (2023), Acura (2022), Cadillac and Mazda (both 2021), making it anyone’s race this weekend.
This round also welcomes back the LMP2 class, which hasn’t seen the green flag since the Twelve Hours of Sebring back in March — the last endurance event on the calendar.
With anticipation building, GOAL delves into the key details of this highly awaited race, including where to watch, venue, schedules and how to watch.
