For the third year in-a-row,
the SPEED GT cars will hit the streets of Long
Beach in April with the Champ Car World Series and
American Le Mans Series. The following weekend, SPEED Touring Car teams are off
to VIRginia International Raceway to join the Rolex Sports Car Series. The 2008
event will mark only the second time in history the series has raced at the
dazzling 3.27-mile road course.
In May, both classes reunite
for a showdown in the desert at Miller
Motorsports Park
with the ALMS.
The series returns to
historical Watkins Glen International in June with the Rolex Sports Car Series,
then joins with ALMS and the Indy Racing League to repeat a highly successful
event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in July.
There's a trip north of the
border in August, when SCCA SPEED World Challenge makes its 18th appearance at Mosport International Raceway, once again joining ALMS.
The remainder of the
schedule will be announced shortly. Keep checking www.world-challenge.com for more
