GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series at Road Atlanta this weekend

CHESTNUT MOUNTAIN - For the first time ever the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series visits Road Atlanta Friday and Saturday.

Two classes, the Daytona Prototypes (DP) and the GT cars, feature a diverse lineup including Corvette, BMW and Ford powered DPs racing alongside Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin and Audi GT entries.

Also on the weekend schedule is the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge for cars right off the showroom floor with only minor modifications. This inaugural event will give sports car racing fans a taste of the future as GRAND-AM and the ALMS merge to form a new unified series beginning in 2014.

Practice and qualifying are scheduled Friday with the first of two races, the Continental Tire Challenge at 11:30 Saturday and the main event, the Rolex Series Race, at 4:30.
