Overview

The Grand American Road Racing Association was established in 1999 and is located in Daytona Beach, Florida, on the same corporate campus that is also home to NASCAR, ISC (International Speedway Corporation) and Daytona International Speedway, but operates as its own stand-alone corporation with a group of independent investors and its own board of advisors. Among the corporation’s investors are several of the key people behind NASCAR’s success, but Grand American offers an entirely different product that features sports car racing on road racing circuits and speedways throughout North America. The Beach in 2005 Daytona Beach is a city in Volusia County, Florida, USA. As of 2004, the population estimates recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 64,422. ...

Grand American currently sanctions three separate series.

Ferrari 360 is the name given to three models of Ferrari cars: the Ferrari 360 Modena, an enclosed two-door coupe; the Ferrari 360 Spider, a two-door convertible; and the Ferrari Challenge Stradale, the bare-bones version of the 360 Modena. ...

Rolex Sports Car Series

In the Rolex Sports Car Series, two classes compete for victories - Daytona Prototypes and Grand Touring.

A grand tourer (Italian: Gran Turismo), sometimes initialised GT, is a high-performance automobile designed for long distance driving. ... The 24 Hours of Daytona is an automotive endurance race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. ...

The Daytona Prototypes are purpose- built chassis powered by stock-block production engines from Lexus, Pontiac, Porsche, BMW, Infiniti and Ford, in the interest of keeping operating costs low and attempting to ensure equality through the field. Approved chassis are built by Riley Technologies, Fabcar, Crawford, Doran, Picchio, Multimatic and Chase. Every Daytona Prototype car generates 500 horsepower. The class has less powerful motors and less aerodynamic designs than Le Mans Prototypes built to ACO rules. The rule limitations are a result of the desire to maintain safe speeds at the series' fastest track, Daytona International Speedway, and maintain close competition. Daytona International Speedway hosts two premier events in the series, the Rolex 24 At Daytona and a 250-mile sprint on the same weekend as NASCAR's Pepsi 400.

Another important benefit of the Daytona Prototype class is that the chassis feature steel tube chassis instead of a carbon fiber tub. Not only does this reduce initial acquisition costs - bare rolling chassis cost in the neighborhood of $375,000 with ready-to-race examples costing around $600,000 - but operational costs to compete at the top level are much lower than those for ACO-spec Le Mans Prototypes. In a November, 2006 interview with Sport Auto Magazine, Jorg Bergmeister reported that Krohn Racing spent $6 million in 2006 to campaign their two-car, championship-winning Daytona Prototype team. By comparison, Sport Auto reported that Audi has spent 70 million Euros annually on the LMP1 championship-winning Audi R10 project.[1] This relative affordability brought a number of new teams into the series, many of which had never campaigned professional sports cars before. As of 2006, upwards of 25 Daytona Prototypes regularly campaign in the series. Jörg Bergmeister (born February 13, 1976 in Leverkusen) is a racing driver from Germany. ...

Grand Touring

For 2005, the Grand Touring (GT) and Super Grand Sport (SGS) classes were consolidated into a single GT class, which features high-tech sports car models approved by Grand-Am like the Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, Ferrari 360 Modena, and BMW M3. However, new rules introduced in 2005, commonly referred to as Prep2, allow for the introduction of tube-frame, purpose-built cars into the class. The first examples of these are Pontiac GTOs campaigned by Horizon Motorsports and The Racer's Group. The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car first manufactured by Chevrolet in 1953. ...

The BMW M3 is a sports version of the popular compact BMW 3-Series automobile, made by BMW Motorsport. ... It has been suggested that Pontiac GTO (2004) be merged into this article or section. ...

KONI Challenge

The KONI Challenge (formerly known as Grand-Am Cup) is a production-based racing series, separated into two classes. Grand Sport (GS) includes sports cars, and Street Tuner (ST) consists of four-door sedans and sport coupes. Events are usually support events for Rolex Sports Car events.
