However, the Sprint Cup for GTD has been discontinued. While GTP will have a total of nine events in 2023, the GTD Pro and GTD classes will compete in all 11 races, including GT-only events at Lime Rock Park and Virginia International Raceway. The IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup will include all classes for the four traditional endurance events: the Daytona 24 Hours, 12 Hours of Sebring, Six Hours of Watkins Glen and the 10-hour Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, while Road America and Indianapolis will also host all five classes. Six of the 11 races will feature all five classes GTP (the new class that will replace the current DPi class and comprise LMDh and Hypercars), LMP2, LMP3, GTD Pro and GTD. IMSA will however be represented on the Ind圜ar Series support bill by its Michelin Pilot Challenge for GT4 and TCR machinery, as the open-wheel series switches from Belle Isle to a new downtown course. A sanctioned test for all classes is planned for. The disappearance of Detroit, which has traditionally clashed with the Le Mans test weekend, from the schedule was no surprise with IMSA’s works teams set to have an increased involvement in the Le Mans 24 Hours from next year as LMDh cars become eligible for competition in the World Endurance Championship. In preparation for the 2023 season, IMSA-sanctioned testing for GTP cars will be held at Road Atlanta on 3-5 October and at Daytona on 6-7 December. IMSA is looking at all schedule options for the 2023 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season according to series president John Doonan, who has not ruled.
