HYUNDAI MONTEREY SPORTS CAR CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY MOTUL 2022 FAN GUIDE


2


3 GREETINGS IMSA RACE FANS On behalf of the France family and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), it is our honor to welcome you back to beautiful WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and the Hyundai Monterey Sports Car Championship Presented by Motul. Sunday’s two-hour, 40-minute headline race features the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, which is known as the pinnacle of professional North American sports car competition. The picturesque circuit here at WeatherTech Raceway will offer the perfect showcase, not only for the race fans in attendance, but also for the live, national television audience watching on NBC. This race will feature four WeatherTech Championship classes representing a host of world-class manufacturers. Sleek Daytona Prototype international (DPi) machines will be battling from the Andretti Hairpin to the Corkscrew for overall wins for the final time prior to next year’s highly anticipated debut of the new GTP class featuring state-of-the-art new prototypes. The LMP2 class brings even more high-tech proto - types with Pro-Am driver lineups and outstanding race teams. Factory-backed GT Daytona (GTD) PRO cars make their Monterey debut this weekend with a plethora of ultra-professional teams, drivers and manufacturers. And the Pro-Am GTD class returns to WeatherTech Raceway again to battle not only for the season-long WeatherTech Championship title, but also WeatherTech Sprint Cup honors. You won’t want to miss Saturday’s headliner either, the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, featuring production-based race cars in a two-hour, high-speed traffic jam. And there’s even more racing where that came from, including a pair of Porsche Carrera Cup North America races and the season-opening doubleheader for Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America. We are proud to showcase a motorsports experience unlike any other where fans can get up close and personal with the drivers, teams and cars. Our paddock is open to all ticketholders and you won’t want to miss the all-driver autograph session in the WeatherTech Championship paddock Saturday morning! Make sure to obtain one of our Fan Guides which are available throughout the facility. They contain illustrations of each race car in the field to determine who’s who on the track. You’ll also notice digital displays on all WeatherTech Championship and Michelin Pilot Challenge race cars; these inform you where each is running in its class throughout a race. Be sure to download the IMSA app for live Timing & Scoring, onboard cameras and up-to-the-minute news and information. And whenever you can’t be with us at the racetrack, be sure to tune in to NBC Sports’ outstanding coverage on the NBC and USA television networks or streaming on Peacock. Thank you again for joining us this weekend! Best Regards, Ed Bennett John Doonan CEO President

11 It’s been known as IMSA – the International Motor Sports Association – since the 1960s, but sports car racing has been around since people first attempted to race high-performance cars in the 1920s. And IMSA has been putting on exciting sports car races at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca since 1999. The genre of sports car racing has two distinct foundations: endurance racing and a variety of different classes for the wide range of car types and power capabilities. What you’ll see this weekend for the Hyundai Monterey Sports Car Championship Presented by Motul involves four separate classes of cars racing simultaneously – four races within a two-hour, 40-minute race around the iconic 11-turn, 2.238-mile circuit. The series, which will race 12 times in 2022 at some of North America’s most iconic road and street courses, is known as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. It has four endurance races as its pillars: the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona (24 hours), the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Presented by Advance Auto Parts (12 hours), the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen (six hours) and the season-ending Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta (10 hours). The WeatherTech Championship classes competing this weekend: DAYTONA PROTOTYPE INTERNATIONAL See description on page 13 LE MANS PROTOTYPE 2 See description on page 21 GDT PRO See description on page 29 GT DAYTONA PRO See description on page 37 All four classes race together, so you’ll see plenty of action throughout Sunday’s two-hour, 40-minute race as drivers maneuver to race within their own class while dodging cars from other classes. The action is fierce and constant, with four storylines emerging at once. In addition to the four classes, the Michelin Pilot Challenge races in two classes.

The fastest class in the race, DPi features exotic, purpose-built sports cars. These cars offer the highest level of technology available in the series. They are most easily identified by the car number placards on each side of the car and in front of the windshield, featuring white numbers over a black background. Acura and Cadillac are the two competing manufacturers, though Acura has won the race here three years running. Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque, co-drivers of the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05, are the defending DPi and overall race winners. DAYTONA PROTOTYPE international DPi 00 00 13

LE MANS PROTOTYPE 2 LMP2 cars look like their DPi counterparts, aren’t as powerful, yet just as entertaining. They are identified by the blue background on the car number placards as well as blue mirrors and a blue “LMP2” decal above the windshield.

GT DAYTONA PRO This is a new class in 2022 with all cars based on the GT3 specification shared with the FIA that allows the same cars to compete globally. Much like its IMSA predecessor class, GT Le Mans, GTD PRO is made up primarily of factory-supported teams from the likes of heavyweight marques including Corvette, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-AMG, Aston Martin, Lexus and more. GTD PRO cars are identified by the red background behind the car number, red side-view mirrors and red on the rear-wing endplates. GTD PRO 29

GT DAYTONA The largest of the four classes in terms of car count, GTD runs the same GT3-spec cars used in GTD PRO. The primary difference is that GTD requires at least one driver with a Silver or Bronze international rating, where GTD PRO drivers almost exclusively carry the higher Platinum or Gold ranking. GTD cars are identified by the green background behind the car number, green side-view mirrors and green on the rear-wing endplates. Since the cars are the same spec in the GT classes and both use the same standard Michelin tires, watch for the tight competition and sparring between the two groups in the race. GTD 37
