Following a successful season opener at Sebring International Raceway, SCCA Pro Racing has announced that a July Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course date will complete the 11-event SPEED World Challenge schedule.
SPEED World Challenge joins a full ticket of racing action at Mid-Ohio, July 20-22. The series teams-up with the Indy Racing League and the American Le Mans Series for the Honda 200 /Acura Sportscar Challenge weekend. It will be the 10th visit in series history to the classic road-racing circuit.
The SPEED World Challenge season kicked-off last week at the 55th Annual Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring. Both the SPEED Touring Car and SPEED GT races lucked-out by missing the heavy rain that hammered the track on race day. Jeff Altenburg, of Ellicott City, Md., won the SPEED Touring Car race from pole in his No. 72 Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development Mazda 6 and Eric Curran, of East Hampton, Mass., won his first-career SPEED GT race in the No. 30 Whelen Engineering Chevrolet Corvette C6.
Next up on the schedule is a SPEED GT-only event, the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. SPEED GT cars will share the streets of Long Beach with the Champ Car World Series and ALMS, April 13-15, for another weekend overflowing with the best racing in North America.
