IMSA WeatherTech 2024 Schedule Includes Endurance Race for Indianapolis; No Race for Lime Rock

The second appearance next year of the IMSA WeatherTech Championship at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway under the ownership of Roger Penske will become a major endurance event.

The 2024 race, as expected, will be a six-hour event on Sept. 22. Next month’s return of IMSA to Indianapolis will be a standard two hour, 40-minute affair.

The six-hour distance is within a traditional length of a sports car endurance race, but is designed not to overtax the track’s resources or the those of the teams, The Indy race joins the 24-hour at Daytona, the 12-hour at Sebring and the six-hour at Watkins Glen in the endurance ranks of the nine-race schedule released over the weekend.

Lime Rock Motorsports Park, which hosted the WeatherTech’s GT cars last month, is not on the 2024 schedule. Discussions about a date at Lime Rock after 2024 will be revisited.
