The California hills will soon be echoing with the roar of engines as the GT America Powered by AWS field prepares to embark on their 2024 championship journey at Sonoma Raceway for the protected by CrowdStrike opening event of the season. An early setback put a temporary halt to schedule, but teams and drivers are more than ready to get this weekend’s action underway.
Acknowledging the challenges faced regarding pavement repairs, SRO America extends their gratitude to the dedicated team at Sonoma Raceway for their swift work in ensuring the track is in optimal condition for racing. It's a testament to the collaborative spirit that drives motorsport forward, emphasizing the importance of teamwork both on and off the track.
The GT America competitors will kick off the action-packed weekend with Practice 2 being held at 8:35 AM PDT on Saturday, offering teams a final opportunity to fine-tune their setups across the 30 minute session and set the starting order ahead of Race 1 taking place later in the afternoon, as the best times from each driver during Practice 2 will determine the grid positions.
Race 1 is scheduled for 1:40 pm PDT. Fans from around the world can catch all the action live on GT World's YouTube Channel and the official SRO Motorsports Twitch channel with live streams hosted by Ash Vandelay.
Beyond the racing thrills, spectators are invited to explore the vibrant atmosphere of the paddocks, where they can engage with teams and drivers up close. The Toyota booth offers an immersive sim racing experience, while the Optima booth provides another opportunity for fans to test their skills behind the virtual wheel. There is also a variety of food trucks awaiting spectators on site, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy.
As the countdown to the green flag continues, anticipation reaches fever pitch at Sonoma Raceway.
