The 2016 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (WTSC) Northeast Grand Prix at is going to be terrific and its only three weeks away. Instead of two WeatherTech SportsCar classes, there will be three – including what many consider the most exciting IMSA divisions, GT Le Mans (GTLM) and GT Daytona (GTD). The starting field will also include Prototype Challenge (PC) cars.

For the first time since Grand AM and ALMS cars raced at Lime Rock, PCA and Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) will host our Porscheplatz during the WTSC races. Porscheplatz dates are July 22 – July 23, 2016. As usual, our Porscheplatz will feature a Porsche only dedicated car corral and a hospitality tent where you can relax, watch the races on cable TV and hear presentations by Porsche Motorsport North America, team drivers and sponsors. And as usual, your ticket gives you access to the paddock where you can see the cars and drivers up close and personal.

The WTSC is America’s premier series and Lime Rock will host the eighth round of this international field. For fans, the racing is non-stop with at several car manufacturers vying for the title with both professional and pro-am drivers behind the wheels.

Particularly exciting will be the Ford GT competing against the other GTLM teams that include Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin, BMW and Corvette. And GTD racing will feature teams campaigning Porsches, Ferraris, BMW’s and ’s. In short, both the GTLM and GTD classes racing at Lime Rock next year will be tremendously exciting.

PLUS, the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge will be at Lime Rock for the weekend with two races of their own. The Grand Sport class has the race-prepped muscle and super cars; Porsche, Mustang, Camaro, Aston Martin and BMW. The Street Tuner class features Audi, BMW, Miata and Mini banging fenders for bragging rights.

Don’t miss this chance to see some exciting racing on one of the premier road courses in the U.S.
