Corvette Racing fans should be cautiously optimistic as IMSA makes adjustments to the 2020 racing calendar in the expectation that racing will resume in the second half of the year.
The revised calendar features new dates for the stops at Mid-Ohio, Laguna Seca, and Petit Le Mans, while also taking into consideration the new September date for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
According to Sportscar365.com, these changes will help balance the 2nd half of the racing schedule as Sebring and Le Mans have already been pushed back several months, while the Long Beach Grand Prix has been officially canceled although there are conversations going on about piggy-backing the race on another date at another venue.
The biggest date of the year for Corvette Racing fans is the 24 Hours of Le Mans and organizers have already moved that race to September 19-20.
Revised 2020 WeatherTech Championship Schedule:
Jan. 22-26 — Rolex 24 at Daytona
May 29-30 — Detroit Belle-Isle
June 25-28 — Six Hours of The Glen
July 3-5 — Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
July 17-18 — Lime Rock Park
July 31 – Aug. 2 — Road America
Aug. 21-23 — Virginia International Raceway
Sept. 4-6 — WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

Kudos to IMSA and the individual tracks for getting together and helping to revise the racing schedule. It’s still subject to change based on conditions as we get closer, but let’s hope we can get back to racing soon!
