For 2022, the GT series shifts to GT3 homologated cars with two classes, GT3 Pro and GT3 Pro/am (essentially recent years’ GTD cars and class). Did you see the racing at the 24 hours at Daytona?   The racing should be more interesting and competitive over several makes.  Click here for a brief description of the GT classes for 2022 from IMSA directly.   The race will also include Dpi and LMP2 prototype classes.   There will be three more “support races”, each of which will be entertaining:  The Michelin Challenge, the Porsche Carrera Cup and a Lamborghini Cup (gives you time to go get lunch!)

Yosemite Region plans Includes rooms at the Hacienda de Leal, sold out.    And speaking of calling, to buy your tickets to the race itself, you have to call WeatherTech Raceway at 831-242-8200, their on line system is not working.   Prices are $90 for a 3 day general admission & Paddock pass ($75 for Sat and Sun only), but you may have to buy tickets at the door if you don’t already have them.   Drop on by the PCA Porscheplatz tent at the inside of Turn #5, just show your Porsche key/fob for admission.    Here is the track map showing the”blue parking” area for the Porsche corral and the Porscheplatz.

Jeff Rosenthal will have his RV on the outside of Turn 6, serving as party central.   Other lodging is available (hey, its NOT Car Week !).   We will be publishing times and spots at the track for members to rally to during the event. Contact Dave Boyd, Jeff Rossenthal or Don Chaisson for more details.

Register here just so we can coordinate with folks and get an idea of who’s coming!
