The series will compete at some of the most iconic tracks in North America, including Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, Road America, Circuit of The Americas and a season finale at Charlotte Motor Speedway, home to the Ford Performance Racing School, which will manage the official spec racing series.

Each round of the IMSA-sanctioned series consists of two practice sessions, one qualifying session and two sprint races.
