I really hope it's not ISCAR, as the bottom of this article could imply.

ISCAR is the name of the LLC that was formed for the merger. I'm rooting for the name to be IMSA (sanctioning body) Rolex Sports Car Series Presented by Tequila Patron.

American Sportscar Series, needs an additional word and thus a better initialism.

Isn't "Series" a lot more common in NA racing than "Championship"?

"IMSA" in the name in any way seems a bit unlikely since it isn't the party taking over things but it does have some historical reference...

Mix and match the following until you get a name and abbreviation that rolls off the tongue...

North American/American
Sportscar/Sports Car
Championship
Series
League
Road Racing
Endurance

Frankly I would be surprised if this just don't go with "Grand-Am Road Racing" (current Grand-Am official name I believe) with embedded series like Grand-Am does today. Potential title sponsors for each series. I also wonder if they don't want to use "North America" and may favor "America" more. I think the use of "League" may be out due to historic use with IRL and I think the use of "Endurance" is too narrow.

I think that names like Can-Am or IMSA have great recognition, but are unlikely to be used.

But to play along with the game here are my ideas...

American Road Racing (ARR)
American Road Racing Championship (ARRC) (already used by SCCA?)

IMSA could very well end up as the sanctioning body. It was purchased in the merger by France from Panoz (PMG). IMSA also has deep ties to the France family as Bill Sr. was intrumental in it's birth and was originally the majority owner of it.

ISCAR is simply a steering/executive orgonization which is comprised of ALMS - GARRA - ACO & FIA
Quote:
Meeting together for the first time last weekend at the Circuit des 24 Heures in Le Mans, France, site of the world-renowned 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car race, were the executive leadership teams of ISCAR – the recently merged organization comprised of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón / GRAND-AM Road Racing; the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO); and the FIA World Endurance Championship.

http://www.alms.com/articles/unified...-meets-le-mans

(first sentence under picture)

You are correct that Championship is not the most widely used. The Frances have used Association most prevalently; IMSA (Int. Motor Sport Assoc.), NASCAR (National Assoc. for Stock Car Auto Racing), GARRA (Grand American Road Racing Assoc.) also IMSA never has been prevelant in the ALMS's public title/branding even though it is the sanctioning body for the series. So.......

ASCRA Presented by Tequila Patrón
(American Sports Car Racing Assoc.)

The first part because it is both ironic and aggravating, the second part is for boobs.

No "American", please. What if they end up racing in Mexico or Brazil?

I prefer "championship" over "series". Rolex Sports Car could be kept. IMSA and can-Am looks like from another century.

How about the Sports Car Championship of the Americas! That way, Interlagos and Potrero would be included in the future.

Ed Brown has mentioned a desire to maintain a connection with the new series, not sure if the involvement would be large enough for Patron to remain somewhere in the name. Neither they nor Rolex are understood to have had to fork out a whole lot for the naming rights they received in the past.
