Title: Prototype and GT racing 2022 Post by: rikardo on 22 January, 2022, 02:17:31 PM Welcome back to a new year of endurance racing, the IMSA Sportscar Championship being the only series to feature races less than 4 hours in duration, referred to by them as a sprint race, which they have done for many years. And it is to IMSA we turn to first, with the qualifying race for the 24 hours of Daytona, the only time I will likely post up qualifying for a race, it being unique amoungst these series of races, as far as I am aware. The 24 hour race itself is next weekend; 29 - 30 January.
