Quick Facts Category, Country ...

The IMSA VP Racing Sportscar Challenge retained LMP3 class cars from the Prototype Challenge series, but introduced GT4 cars to allow for multi-class racing.[2] The series features two 45-minute races per event weekend with no mid-race pit stops or driver changes.[3] The series is designed as a development series for other IMSA series, and as such drivers must have either a silver or bronze categorization from the FIA to participate.[4]

The series is currently sponsored by VP Racing Fuels.
