IMSA & CTSCC Racing – Latest News, Events and Insights

Welcome to your go‑to spot for everything IMSA and CTSCC. Whether you’re a seasoned fan or just getting curious, we’ve got the latest race results, upcoming calendars and practical tips right here. Think of this as your quick pit stop before you head to the track or fire up the livestream.

Key events coming up

Next month the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship heads to the iconic Daytona International Speedway. The 24‑hour endurance race kicks off on Friday, and you’ll see a mix of prototype and GT cars battling under bright lights. If you’re closer to the West Coast, the CTSCC series rolls into Sebring International Raceway two weeks later for a high‑speed sprint that draws a lot of local fans.

Don’t miss the CTSCC night race at Lime Rock Park in early August. The short circuit and tight corners make for intense overtaking and a great atmosphere for families. Tickets usually sell out fast, so grab yours early if you want a spot on the grandstand.

Tips for fans and participants

Got a race day plan? Arrive at least an hour early to soak up the pre‑race buzz. Parking fills up quickly, especially at smaller venues like Lime Rock, so grab a spot on the street or use public transport when possible.

If you’re thinking about stepping onto the track yourself, start with a local karting club. The skills you learn there translate well to the faster IMSA and CTSCC cars. Most clubs also run safety courses that teach you how to handle high‑g turns and brake zones.

For the casual viewer, set up a watchlist on your favorite streaming service and enable notifications for race starts. The live timing screens can be confusing the first time, but they give you a real feel for who’s beating the clock and when pit stops happen.

Many fans love to bring a camera, but remember the lens must be handheld and you can’t set it up on a tripod inside the venue. If you’re after great shots, position yourself near the pit lane early – that’s where the action and the team dynamics happen.

Speaking of photos, auto racing photographers can earn between $30k and $80k a year, depending on experience and the events they cover. If you love snapping high‑speed moments, start by volunteering at local races to build a portfolio.

Lastly, keep an eye on the official IMSA and CTSCC social channels. They post last‑minute updates, weather alerts and driver interviews that give you a deeper look into the race weekend. A quick tweet can change your whole plan, like moving from a general admission seat to a more premium view if tickets become available.

That’s the quick rundown for IMSA and CTSCC racing right now. Use these tips, check the event calendar, and you’ll be ready to enjoy every lap, whether you’re on the track or cheering from the stands.
