The Jim Trueman Award will be given to the top finishing Pro-Am pairing in Prototype, while the Bob Akin Award will be given to the top GTLM pairing. The top Pro-Am pairings from these classes at the end of the year will be given automatic entries to the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, with the Trueman award winner eligible for the LMP2 class, while the Akin Award winner would be for the LM GTE Am class.

Two and three hour races, which were 15 minutes shorter than their times, will have their race times reduced five more minutes, so that they would be 1:40 and 2:40, respectively, instead of 1:45 and 2:45, as was the case in the previous years. The races set for 6, 10, 12, and 24 hours will remain at the respective lengths. #ccffcc Race is part of the North American Endurance Cup Rnd Race Length Classes Circuit Location Date 1 Rolex 24 at Daytona 24 hours All Daytona International Speedway Daytona, Florida January 24–25 2 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring 12 hours All Sebring International Raceway Sebring, Florida March 21 3 Tequila Patrón Sports Car Showcase 1 hour 40 minutes P, GTLM Long Beach Street Circuit Long Beach, California April 18 4 Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix 2 hours 40 minutesMazda Raceway TUSC Round to Feature All Four Classes in One Race http://sportscar365.com/imsa/tusc/mazda-raceway-tusc-round-to-feature-all-four-classes-in-one-race/ Sportscar365.com February 6, 2015 Tony DiZinno February 6, 2015 John Dagys Media, LLC All Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Monterey, California May 3 5 Chevrolet Sports Car Classic 1 hour 40 minutes P, PC, GTD The Raceway on Belle Isle Detroit, Michigan May 30 6 Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen 6 hours All Watkins Glen International Watkins Glen, New York June 28 7 Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix 2 hours 40 minutesIMSA Driver Pairing Regulations Adjusted http://sportscar365.com/imsa/tusc/imsa-driver-pairing-regulations-adjusted/ Sportscar365.com November 7, 2014 Tony DiZinno 7 November 2014 P, PC, GTLM Canadian Tire Motorsport Park Bowmanville, Ontario July 12 8 Northeast Grand Prix 2 hours 40 minutes PC, GTD Lime Rock Park Lakeville, Connecticut July 25 9 Continental Tire Road Race Showcase 2 hours 40 minutes All Road America Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin August 9 10 Oak Tree Grand Prix 2 hours 40 minutes GTLM, GTD Virginia International Raceway Alton, Virginia August 23 11 Lone Star Le Mans 2 hours 40 minutes All Circuit of the Americas Austin, Texas September 19 12 Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda 10 hoursPetit Le Mans http://www.imsa.com/races/petit-le-mans-7?invalidate-cache=1408747848 IMSA.com October 2, 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20141006105816/http://www.imsa.com/races/petit-le-mans-7?invalidate-cache=1408747848 October 6, 2014 #DidYouKnow Dagys John https://twitter.com/sportscar365/status/514970994478690306 Twitter.com October 2, 2014Race shortened to 7 hours 49 minutes due to heavy rain.

Points are awarded based on finishing positions as shown in the chart below.http://www.imsa.com/articles/imsa-101-understanding-points-system IMSA 101: Understanding the Points System 2015-08-12 2015-09-09 https://web.archive.org/web/20150909224659/http://www.imsa.com/articles/imsa-101-understanding-points-system dead Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Race 35 32 30 28 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Drivers Points Points are awarded in each class at the finish of each event. Drivers must complete a minimum driving time (outlined to teams prior to each event) in order to score points. A driver does not score points if the minimum drive time is not met. In addition, for each car credited with a race start, each driver nominated in that car also receives one additional “starting point.” Team Points Team points are calculated in exactly the same way as driver points, using the point distribution chart and “starting points.” Each car entered is considered its own “team” regardless if it is a single entry or part of a two-car team. Manufacturer Points There are also a number of manufacturer championships which utilize the same season-long point distribution chart, minus the “starting points” used for the driver and team championships. (The “starting point” is not used in manufacturer championship points.) The manufacturer championships recognized by IMSA are as follows: Prototype (P): Engine Manufacturer GT Le Mans (GTLM): Car Manufacturer; Tire Manufacturer GT Daytona (GTD): Car Manufacturer Each manufacturer receives finishing points for its highest finishing car in each class. The positions of subsequent finishing cars from the same manufacturer are not taken into consideration, and all other manufacturers move up in the order. Example: Manufacturer A finishes 1st and 2nd at an event, and Manufacturer B finishes 3rd. Manufacturer A receives 35 first-place points while Manufacturer B would earn 32 second-place points. The points system from the 2014 season is the same as in 2015.IMSA announces rules package for 2014 United SportsCar Championship http://www.autoweek.com/article/20140105/grand_am/140109947 Autoweek Autoweek January 5, 2014 January 26, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140201231851/http://www.autoweek.com/article/20140105/grand_am/140109947 February 1, 2014 dead North American Endurance Cup The points system for the North American Endurance Cup is different from the normal points system. Points are awarded on a 5-4-3-2 basis for drivers, teams and manufacturers. The first finishing position at each interval earns five points, four points for second position, three points for third, with two points awarded for fourth and each subsequent finishing position. Position 1 2 3 Other Classified Race 5 4 3 2 At Daytona (24 hour race), points are awarded at six hours, 12 hours, 18 hours and at the finish. At the Sebring (12 hour race), points are awarded at four hours, eight hours and at the finish. At Watkins Glen (6 hour race), points are awarded at three hours and at the finish. At Road Atlanta (10-hour race), points are awarded at four hours, eight hours and at the finish. Like the season-long team championship, North American Endurance Cup team points are awarded for each car and drivers get points in any car that they drive, in which they are entered for points. The manufacturer points go to the highest placed car from that manufacturer (the others from that manufacturer not being counted), just like the season-long manufacturer championship. For example: in any particular segment manufacturer A finishes 1st and 2nd and manufacturer B finishes 3rd. Manufacturer A only receives first-place points for that segment. Manufacturer B receives the second-place points. Drivers' Championships #ccffcc Race is part of the North American Endurance Cup Prototype Pos.
