I'll second that.

I would love to see Champion Racing come back in some form, but I can't see Porsche picking them to be the GTLM team when there are plenty of capable teams out there, set up and ready to go, whereas Champion doesn't even currently have a race team.

Doesn't "eight star" now own the former Champion shop?

I believe they are leasing it.

No Kansas! My faith in these people has been slightly restored. Nice to see the VIR date, which coincidentally falls on my birthday. I guess I know what I'll be doing next August 24th.

Victor_RO · 20 Sep 2013, 17:36 (Ref:3306686)

Judging by the CoTA date and that the WEC are unlikely to do major changes to the 2014 calendar compared to 2013, I suspect that it'll be a double bill again

And... yay, no Kansas.

Salamus · 20 Sep 2013, 17:37 (Ref:3306688)

I'm sure everyone here will approve of this schedule. Definitely a huge step forward.

Ferrari333SP · 20 Sep 2013, 17:38 (Ref:3306690)

NIceeee, I like this schedule.

juki · 20 Sep 2013, 17:45 (Ref:3306695)

VIR won't have prototypes, just PC, GTLM, and GTD according to the release on Grand-Am site.

"• Aug. 24: Virginia International Raceway … Danville, Virginia track has fervent fan following and an ALMS race next month. … Formerly part of the Rolex Series schedule. … Event will have a combined GT Le Mans/GT Daytona race and another race featuring the Prototype Challenge class."

"With three circuits (Long Beach, Detroit Belle Isle and Virginia International Raceway) on the 2014 schedule not having all four TUDOR United SportsCar Championship classes competing, each class (Prototype, Prototype Challenge, GT Le Mans and GT Daytona) will race 11 times next season."

Not bad!

BullMan · 20 Sep 2013, 17:50 (Ref:3306698)

Ok, well I found an issue with the schedule. VIR won't have P2/DPs. The Autoweek article ALMS posted on Facebook says they'll have a separate LMPC race and a GTE/GTD race. That sucks.

freeballin · 20 Sep 2013, 17:54 (Ref:3306701)

No complaints. A little weird with the VIR thing, but it's not a bad idea.

Fogelhund · 20 Sep 2013, 18:04 (Ref:3306708)

As good a schedule as we could have hoped for. The ViR event will be interesting as a GT standalone.

Victor_RO · 20 Sep 2013, 18:06 (Ref:3306709)

USCC and WEC schedules announced on the same day... interesting. (WEC schedule should be announced in about 3 hours' time from this post according to Endurance-Info)

That's a bit odd. USCC must be expecting quite a few extra PC entries to have its own race. But the GTs heading an event is fantastic!

pach233 · 20 Sep 2013, 18:09 (Ref:3306714)

Overall as good as schedule as I we could've hoped for.

Slightly confused about the VIR thing though. There's going to be a separate race just for 8 or PC cars and then the GT's will run standalone?

The logical thing would be to combine the races if there's not enough cars for standalone races in each class.

I would expect the PC cars to run with IMSA Prototype Lights.

Seeing as 3 weeks ago, I was sure there wouldn't be a VIR race in 2014, I can't complain. Especially if they send a proper slate of support races, unlike this year.

That would make some sense as well.

FstrthnU · 20 Sep 2013, 18:35 (Ref:3306728)

This schedule is much better than what the doomsayers and early predictors thought it would be. Almost all road and street courses, only the Indy Roval outside of Daytona. As a fan of the ALMS current track list I give this a big thumbs up. I might even make it down to Sebring at the end of spring break

BrentJackson · 20 Sep 2013, 18:46 (Ref:3306732)

So, what have the doomsayers got to say now? Two street circuits, one roval, one sorta-roval and eight fabulous road courses. No Kansas, no Baltimore, little crap in terms of tracks, mostly the best road courses in North America. Sad to see Mid-Ohio and Barber and Lime Rock out for now, but let's hope things go well in 2014 and they get back into the series for 2015.

I say you can have the best tracks in the world but if your on track product is sub-par then whats the point ?

The schedule is very positive though.

Purist · 20 Sep 2013, 19:13 (Ref:3306742)

The slate of tracks looks good, but why in blue blazes would you not run a full-on, all-classes race at VIR?!

(I guess I'll be waiting until 2015, at least, to think about planning a visit to the Danville/Alton area.)
