The Race

Ten Hours at Road Atlanta

The season finale

Motul Petit Le Mans is the season finale of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship: ten hours around the 2.54-mile Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, with GTP prototypes and GT cars sharing the track from a noon green flag into the dark. Championships get decided here, which is why it tends to be the best racing of the year.

On the big screens

We'll have it on the big screens from the green flag. Bring your opinions on strategy. There will be people here who want to argue about them.
