Click below to look back at some of the great racing from Road America at last year’s International GT event. We’re looking forward to returning on May 17-19 for another action-packed weekend of racing at this iconic circuit. Discounted entry pricing ends Friday, May 3.
In the current issue of Octane magazine Derek Bell says, “The same meeting [speaking of the SVRA event at Sebring] also hosted the International GT series, which has really taken off, and how. It is the brainchild of Ken Fengler, the man who brought me out to the USA a million years ago. He’s a brilliant organiser, and through him I launched the Porsche Precision Driving School With Derek Bell in the 1980s. Ken saw a gap in the market for a GT championship that caters for drivers who are competitive but not necessarily looking to forge professional careers. Either that, or those who have hopes of making the big time but no desire to upgrade their very expensive car with an even pricier one every five minutes in a bid to remain at the front. It’s all about value for money. Entrants get to compete in several races per weekend, a mixture of sprint thrashers and mini-enduros. I am not a great spectator because I still have a driver mentality: if I’m not on track, I’m not quite so interested. But I was inspired by what I saw. Massively so. The racing at Sebring was fantastic, with massive fields of Porsches, Ferraris, Audis and even a Caterham 7. What’s more, one of the races was won by someone young enough to be my grandson. There’s nothing quite like a teenager to make you feel old…”
