Instigated by the International Motor Sport Association (IMSA), the revisions to sportscar racing in the USA brings together the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) and the GRAND-AM Sportscar Series to become the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship for 2014.

For GT cars that are closer to standard specification, the Continental Tire IMSA SportsCar Challenge will continue unchanged for 2014. It will feature 12-rounds at many of the same venues as the TUDOR United SportCar Championship, the first being the meeting at Daytona where the two recently announced Sunoco Challenge winners: Bradley Smith, who will compete in the legendary 24-hour race at Daytona on January 25th& 26th and Lewis Plato, who will contest the 200 race on 24th.
