Full Weekend of Racing Planned for Pirelli World Challenge Season-Opener
There are only a few weeks left before the thrilling 2015 season-opener of the Pirelli World Challenge at Circuit of The Americas.
More than 100 race-prepped, production-based road cars are entered for the races, which will take place March 6 through 8. The weekend will feature practice sessions on Friday, with qualifying and races on both Saturday and Sunday.
The series features multiple classes of racing from manufacturers such as Cadillac (pictured), Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche and Audi, just to name a few. In addition to the on-track action, an open paddock will give fans a chance to look around the cars and talk to the drivers.
