American Le Mans Series

The International Motorsports Association American Le Mans Series is the premier sports car racing series in the United States, based entirely off of the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans in France. It was established through a reorganization of the IMSA GT Championship and is owned by Panoz. The series currently combines grand touring cars and Le Mans prototypes. The series exclusively uses road courses and street courses, but previously used oval conversions, or "rovals". The schedule includes endurance races at Mazda Raceway Laguna-Seca in California, Sebring International Raceway in Florida, and Road Atlanta in Georgia.
