We're Here To Watch America's Raddest Sports Cars On America's F1 Track
We're Here To Watch America's Raddest Sports Cars On America's F1 Track-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:23

This weekend, America’s big endurance series descend upon Circuit of the Americas for a mega-event full of fantastic sports cars. The WeatherTech Sports Car Championship, Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, Lamborghini Super Trofeo and Porsche GT3 Cup USA are all here, and Jalopnik is here to soak it all in.

Whether you’re a fan of purpose-built racing prototypes or the more normal-looking sports cars, there’s a little bit of something for everyone. The main WTSC show is a relatively short two-hour, 40-minute race, but it still features the full-season entries that debuted at Daytona this year.

So far, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac DPi-V.R has yet to lose a race . Will this be the race someone else finally wins, or will the team’s still reign supreme? Either way, we plan on catching up with the WTR team to find out where they’re stashing the voodoo dolls of the other Prototype-class cars (or whatever else they’re doing to dominate this season).

CTSCC may be my current favorite series of the moment because it’s always good for some . GT3 Cup is another favorite, mainly because I am a huge Porsche fangirl and I’ll proudly admit that. An entire support series of eardrum-pleasuring Lambos on top of that is just icing on the cake.

If you’re not in town, you can still zone out to hours of drool-worthy racing. IMSA has the full weekend and broadcast schedule . The main WeatherTech Sports Car Championship race is on live on IMSA.tv at 2:25 p.m. ET Saturday, or on tape delay on FS1 at 7:00 p.m. ET Saturday.

Here are a few more photos from the teams unloading today, which is your cue to drool over some seriously cool sheet metal. What would you like to see from the weekend? Are you also here in Austin for the races? Let us know where you’ll be hanging out at the track in the comments below.

Track Day Bro Has The Best Reaction Ever To A Wheel Failure
Track Day Bro Has The Best Reaction Ever To A Wheel Failure
When you track your car, you know that stuff will break. Parts fail, structural components snap, and things succumb to the extra stresses of being run at the limit. So, you might as well appreciate how hilariously awesome your own wheel looks as it skips through the grass. Driver Chris...

This Flying V8 Will Make You Wish We Had Australian Cars In America
This Flying V8 Will Make You Wish We Had Australian Cars In America
“Ute” is Australian for “car with a bed like a pickup truck,” but “6.0 V8 and a full rally suspension setup” is awesome in any language. Rally racer and builder Steve Riley said he “wanted to put an Aussie flair” on the idea of a rally car, so he turned...

Long Beach Sportscar Practice Halted Due To Flaming Ford GT
We love the bonkers Ford GT, but this is clearly the car’s shakedown year in racing. Found On Road Dead? Nah, the No. 67 car was Flaming On Road Dead during this morning’s WeatherTech Sports Car Championship practice at Long Beach. Fortunately, Tony DiZinno reports that driver Richard Westbrook was...

Mercedes SLS Track Days Are Hardcore Heavy Metal Ballets
The civilian-spec Mercedes SLS AMG is really more of a touring car than a track-tearing demon. Until you uncork the exhaust and put a diving board spoiler on the back and turn it into a . You’re going to want to turn those headphones up. A lot of car videos...

Trans Am Team Gets Jalopnik Bump, Blasts Through Field With Awesomeness
Trans-Am team owner Peter Stark of Loshak/Stark Racing came to us asking for a bit of extra luck for his new TA2 car last weekend: the Jalopnik bump. While they didn’t add to the bump’s win streak, they improved the most number of positions during the race. Man, that chrome...

Charlie Kimball's IndyCar Brakes Are Figuratively Toast
Charlie Kimball's IndyCar Brakes Are Figuratively Toast
Today’s IndyCar practice was interrupted by a particularly stubborn brake fire out of Charlie Kimball’s car. Between this and the incident from IMSA practice, maybe California needs to periodically assess car-b-que risk like they do for wildfires. Threat level: at least moderate. The Grand Prix of Long Beach has fast...
