Daytona Prototype field at Road America

The 2011 Rolex Sports Car Series season was the twelfth season of Grand-Am's premier series. Continental Tire became the official tire partner and supplier for Grand-Am, replacing Pirelli after three seasons due to Pirelli's departure to FIA Formula 1 World Championship, GP2 Asia Series and GP2 Series (now FIA Formula 2 Championship) as well as increasing GP3 Series (now FIA Formula 3 Championship) involvement as an official tire partner and supplier after FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting verdict event in Geneva, Switzerland on June 24, 2010. [1] [2] The company purchased the naming rights of the RSCS's support series, the Grand-Am Cup Series, from KONI in 2010.

Contents

The season began with the Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 29 [3] and finished with the EMCO Gears Classic at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on September 17.

A notable change is the television coverage. In contrast to 2010, about half of the races were not televised live.

Schedule

The official schedule was released October 18, 2010, and consisted of twelve rounds. [4] Road America appears on the schedule after a nine-year absence, while Laguna Seca returns after its absence from the schedule in 2010. The second race at Daytona and Miller Motorsports Park do not return.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sports car racing</span> Type of motorsport road racing

Sports car racing is a form of motorsport road racing which utilises sports cars that have two seats and enclosed wheels. They may be either purpose-built sports prototypes which are the highest level in sports car racing or grand tourers based on road-going models and therefore, in general, not as fast as sports prototypes. Sports car racing is one of the main types of circuit auto racing, alongside open-wheel racing, touring car racing and stock car racing. Sports car races are often, though not always, endurance races that are run over particularly long distances or large amounts of time, resulting in a larger emphasis on the reliability and efficiency of the car and its drivers as opposed to outright car performance or driver skills. The FIA World Endurance Championship is an example of one of the best known sports car racing series.
