Default World Speed Challenge @ COTA Fri-Sunday....

Opening race of the year and it should be as exciting as last year. GT classes include the new MBZ AMG SLS, Bentley Continentals, McLaren 650's, Aston's, and of course several GT3 R's driven by J.Safronas and P. Long.

The GTS class will also be exciting again this year with the new KTM X-Bows, Camaros, Mustang Boss 302's, Beemers, Astons, Maseratis, etc.

Live streaming and scoring on their website:

I agree this year will have many new brands and it will be very interesting to see how it shakes out. This is also the second year of the GT3 Cup race with PWC. Watch those Maseratis!!

Love watching this type of racing -- so much more "relatable" to me than open wheeled cars, if that makes sense.

(As a local, I also enjoy that the access is usually better and there's typically an opportunity during the weekend to see the cars up close!)

Love World Challenge. Sprint racing is so much fun to watch, no need to preserve tires and fuel, just go for it. Bummed to hear the standing starts aren't going to be around in 2016 but should still be some great racing with a big, diverse field.

Thanks for the heads-up. They need an app where we can watch and get timing and scoring.

If you go to old.world-challenge.com you can access the old site.
Otherwise archive.org for the site prior to 2011. It looks like much of the video is on their youtube.
