The world’s most technologically advanced sports cars roar back to Monterey for another unforgettable weekend of racing action. The cutting-edge GTP (Grand Touring Prototype) class—featuring powerhouse manufacturers like Acura, BMW, Cadillac, and Porsche—continues to push the limits of speed, innovation, and endurance.

The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship showcases its premier classes, legendary teams, and world-class drivers in a spectacle where fans can see, hear, and feel every moment of the competition.

When you’re not catching the wheel-to-wheel battles and daring overtakes, there’s plenty of family-friendly excitement off the track. Experience go-karting, autograph sessions, and more. Step inside the open paddock to get up close with the cars and drivers, and don’t miss one of the event’s most iconic traditions—the Grid Walk on pit lane just before the race begins.

Get ready to witness racing perfection, innovation, and adrenaline at the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in Monterey.
