The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship returns to action this weekend after a month off at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for the Hyundai Monterey Sports Car Championship. 26 teams are entered in four classes.
In the DPi class, there are the six full-time teams entered. Cadillacs from Action Express Racing, JDC-Miller MotorSports and Chip Ganassi Racing, Acuras from Meyer Shank Racing with Curb-Agajanian and Wayne Taylor Racing, and the Mazdas. Filipe Albuquerque and Ricky Taylor currently hold a 41-point lead over Action Express Racing’s Pipo Derani and Felipe Nasr.
LMP2 has four teams entered. Era Motorsport’s Kyle Tilley is still out after his recent injury. As a result, Ryan Dalziel has been deputized once again. He’s paired with Dwight Merriman, who had multiple incidents at Le Mans that resulted in the team being forced to withdraw prior to the start of the race.
GT Le Mans continues on with just three entries as it comes towards the conclusion. These are the two Corvette Racing Chevrolet Corvette C8.Rs and WeatherTech Racing’s Porsche 911 RSR-19.
The GT Daytona class has 13 teams entered. The biggest change here is that The Heart of Racing has expanded to two cars for both Laguna Seca, Long Beach and VIR. Team manager Ian James will be in the new No. 27 alongside former full-time teammate Alex Riberas. Riberas has spent most of the last 18 months racing in New Zealand and given the current COVID-19 pandemic, had more or less been unable to leave the country. He was supposed to drive the No. 23 last year alongside James and Roman DeAngelis before the lockdowns happened last year.
NTe Sport and Gilbert/Korthoff Motorsports, who were on the grid in August at Road America, are not entered this weekend. NTe Sport’s plans are unclear for the remainder of the season. However, Gilbert/Korthoff Motorsports indicated to Frontstretch prior to the WeatherTech 240 at the Glen in July that they plan to focus on the eastern races for the remainder of 2021. Based on that statement, they are most likely to return in October at VIR.
The Hyundai Monterey Sports Car Championship is scheduled to go green at 4:10 p.m. ET Sunday afternoon. The race will air live on NBCSN.
