The official website doesn't mention Barber, Mosport, New Jersey, Sears Point, Brainerd or Miller.
12 rounds sounds like a lot, but each class will only do 7-9. GT-A is an amateur subclass, but I thought it would be contested on all GT rounds. I haven't heard anything about TCA. |

GMG And Black Swan Entered into 25 Hours of Thunderhill
Kind of related to the thread, I guess. Looking at the entry list to this years NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill, Black Swan has a Merc SLS GT3 and GMG has 2 of the R8s entered for this year's race on Dec 7-8. I assume these are their world challenge cars. The other really interesting entry is the Audi TTRS that was their last year, I believe it is one of only a few factory build racing TTRS's. It's front wheel drive I believe, and was really quick last year before breaking after 5-6 hours. www.nasa25hour.com If you live near northern cali, this is a really cool event with great access and lots of pro drivers who make the trip.

Another impressive addition to the grid expected: http://sportscar365.com/gt/world-cha...r-competition/
And I like the idea of an endurance race (see comment at the bottom), maybe as a end-of-season incentive? Road Atlanta early November would be ideal! |

Good looking grid, good looking schedule with talent in the seats.
Barber is the same weekend as the Mitty at Road ATL. Oh the horror. |

Probably more so than the GT3s, seeing how they are campaigned by factory or factory supported teams rather than mere privateers.

The car diversity, quality and competition level (ie: drivers) in PWC is going to be much higher and deeper in 2014 than it was in 2013. Should make for a very interesting season...
I heard Volvo isn't coming back next year, but I'm not sure how much weight to put behind that. The Volvo and Cadillacs are definitely competitive with the GT3 cars. -mike |

Very cool news.
Can't wait to see the Touring guys at Mosport in May and the GT boys in Detroit in June. Nice!!! |

Still crossing my fingers we might see a 2015 Mustang/Shelby GT350 GT3 come from this.

It's two different countries. These kind of programs are run by the local subsidiaries or importers.

The list of manufacturers here would support the 'no Volvo' theory. Still looks like a really impressive year though.
