DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The summer stretch of IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship action intensifies with the run of four straight historic, natural terrain road courses starting with next weekend’s Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International. The race is also the third of five IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup rounds.

Among the 54 cars in four categories, a number of endurance-specific entries and drivers return, including Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring GT class winners Manthey and Af Corse USA, both with tweaked lineups. There’s also a handful of new faces dotting the four classes.

The sixth of 11 weekends in the 2026 season marks Round 6 for Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), Round 3 for Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) and Round 5 for both Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTD PRO) and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD).

Storylines

  • Rolex Championship Pursuit: Watkins Glen marks the halfway point of the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, as it is the sixth of 11 race weekends. Rolex, the Official Timepiece of IMSA, will award a special Rolex timepiece at year’s end to each WeatherTech Championship title-winning driver. The championship battles are fairly close with just 3 points separating the LMP2 leaders, 18 in GTD PRO, 140 in GTD and 144 in GTP heading into the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen.
  • GTP Parity: Three different brands (Porsche, Acura, Cadillac) have won in GTP this year and three different brands (Acura, Porsche, BMW) have won the last three years at Watkins Glen. BMW and Aston Martin seek their first GTP win of the year, while Cadillac seeks its first Watkins Glen win in the GTP era, having last won at the track in 2021.
  • 31 Points Cover GTD PRO Top Four: Just 31 points cover the No. 4 Corvette, No. 1 Paul Miller BMW, No. 65 Ford and No. 3 Corvette in GTD PRO heading to Watkins Glen. The No. 4 car is the only one of the four that hasn’t won. The No. 77 AO Racing Porsche is lurking in fifth.
  • GTD Back in Action: There’s been four winners from four different brands (Mercedes-AMG, Ferrari, Lexus and Lamborghini) to start the GTD season through Monterey with a driver from a fifth, Eduardo “Dudu” Barrichello in an Aston Martin, out front in the driver’s standings. Ferrari leads Aston Martin by just three points in the GTD manufacturer championship.
  • So is LMP2: It’s been an even longer layoff for LMP2, returning for the first time since Sebring. Though CrowdStrike Racing by APR’s No. 04 and United Autosports USA’s No. 2 ORECA LMP2 07s have won the first two races, it’s United’s No. 22 leading the points by just three over the CrowdStrike No. 04.
  • Pumpelly Set to Hit 250 Top-Level Starts: Magnus Racing returns for the first time since its runner-up finish at the Rolex 24 At Daytona, and Spencer Pumpelly is set to hit a milestone. If he takes the green flag he’ll achieve his 250th top-level sports car career start. Pumpelly, a two-time Watkins Glen GT winner, will share the No. 44 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo with John Potter and Mario Farnbacher.
  • Michelin’s Endurance Cup and Sustainability in Racing Championship Battles: The Michelin Endurance Cup resumes with Round 3 and points awarded at the three- and six-hour marks. Point leads range from four to 12 points across the four classes. The IMSA Michelin Sustainability in Racing Award, through Round 5 in GTP, is quite close as the No. 31 Cadillac (17.30), No. 7 Porsche (17.94) and No. 93 Acura (17.96) are covered by just 0.66 of a point.
  • CrowdStrike Endurance, Teamwork and Speed Award: Multiple teams will be recognized in pre-race ceremonies for winning the CrowdStrike Endurance, Teamwork and Speed Award at previous events. The No. 99 AO Racing ORECA LMP2 07 (Sebring), No. 45 Wayne Taylor Racing Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 (Monterey) and No. 3 Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports Corvette Z06 GT3.R (Detroit) all will be recognized for wins in their class’ most recent race.

Who’s Hot?

  • No. 31 Cadillac Whelen: The GTP points leaders have scored a class record seven straight podiums dating to Indianapolis 2025. Earl Bamber and Jack Aitken got their first win of 2026 in Detroit aboard the No. 31 Cadillac V-Series.R.
  • No. 25 BMW M Team WRT: Back-to-back podiums and the IMSA Michelin Sustainability in Racing Award at Monterey see the first-year full-season IMSA squad on a bit of a roll at the track where BMW’s M Hybrid V8 won its first GTP race in 2023.
  • No. 27 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin: Three podiums in four races for the GTD points leaders position them strongly at a track the team has historically done well at.

Who’s Good Here?

  • Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin: Heart of Racing Team has four Watkins Glen wins across two GT classes in the last four years. They swept both GTD PRO and GTD in 2022, won GTD PRO again in 2024 and won GTD again in 2025.
  • Felipe Fraga: The Brazilian won three straight LMP3 races from 2021 through 2023 here and has added second and fifth-place finishes in LMP2 the last two years. He’s now seeking a strong result aboard the No. 16 Myers Riley Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3.
