At speeds approaching 200 mph… on some of the most demanding racetracks in North America… the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series features the new Daytona Prototypes and GT cars with professional drivers from the United States and around the world.

The Rolex Series continues in 2008 with races ranging from two to 24 hours in length. The schedule includes an excellent mix of traditional road courses, like Watkins Glen International, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Barber Motorsports Park and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, and stadium tracks, like Phoenix International Raceway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, and of course Daytona International Speedway.

The Rolex Series consists of two primary classes of competition that race together. The sleek and stylish Daytona Prototypes, which combine engines from the likes of Lexus, Porsche, Ford, Pontiac, BMW, with chassis such as Riley, Crawford, Multimatic, Fabcar, and Picchio.  In the production-based GT class, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari among others take the green flag at each Rolex Series event. The ‘race within a race’ concepts adds drama and excitement as Daytona Prototypes battle each other, the track, and the traffic on the 14-race 2005 schedule.
