They should work with GT World America

Anytime sports car racing grows I'm happy. 👍

Agree with you! I think GTDX is a great addition to this series. Except I’m a little worried that on some tracks the fastest GTDX and the slow LMP3 cars will get in each other’s way

Channel is underrated.
You’re doing Gods work for Motorsports, love the channel mate!

This is great news! As a fan of GT3 I have another series to follow!
Sidenote: that livery at 5:25 is just *chef's kiss 👌🔥

They might be stealing some guys from GT World America here, but honestly, with the multiclass format, it is always more interesting to watch that strictly GT3 racing.

IMSA support league at COTA? That just makes me want the Weathertech championship to go there too. maybe a collab with WEC would be cool like what they did with the Sebring 12H and Sebring 1000 Miles.

I'm looking forward to this season of this series - especially Samantha Tan & team. She's been working up the ranks in GTWC and a slot in an IMSA race is a great step.

Cool content thanks. Long time car fan, motorsport noob. You make it easy to understand and get into

This series is awesome on iRacing. Little apprehensive with the addition of GT3s, but lets see what happens :)

[Esteban-Matamoros]

So glad to see STR on IMSA, hopefully she gets a good season!

[Murbanvideo]

Awesome video. Looking forward to seeing this play out

[johnvandeventer]

I’ll admit that I was pretty shocked when I heard this announcement

[FireChicken]

So it’s sprint Multi class racing. That’s pretty cool

[FlorezGarage]

I love that lego lmdh and hypercar with lights behind you

[betrayed_cargo]

Sweet. I'll be going to the Mid-Ohio event

[swaggerdude]

I wish they included Lime Rock to the calendar!

The series was intended to give the amateur drivers, the backbone of the series, an opportunity to compete against other amateur drivers without the Pros. Sadly, there are some up and coming Pros in the series and they tend to dominate. It will be cool to see the GT3 added to the field.

So what you’re telling me is even more racing? Yes please.

5:24: YOU HIT ON IT. This move is a direct shot to take competitors away from GT World Challenge America. The series has been decimated with teams leaving the last couple of years, some who have gone right to IMSA Weather Tech such as Conquest Racing and Triarsi. The grids early this year were 12 cars in two classes and I stopped watching because there really was no excitement. Samantha Tan may have been the most recognizable name left and here she is bolting to IMSA. And with her two car team, she is ONE SIXTH of the entire grid out of GT Challenge America. I wouldn't be surprised if Turner Motorsport, which already has cars in the Pilot Challenge also moves.

EDIT: it was mentioned later that Kyle Washington was also leaving to come here.
