Road America officials have pushed the 2027 Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix back one week to August 5‑8, sparing the event from clashes with other Wisconsin summer fixtures.
Mike Kertscher, Road America’s president, said the new dates will “reduce overlap with other major events across Wisconsin during one of the busiest parts of summer.” By announcing the shift early, the venue hopes fans can realign plans for a full‑four‑day weekend.
Why the Shift Matters
The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s flagship six‑hour race remains on the timetable, now wrapped into the 2027 IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup. The four‑mile road course’s historic 2027 edition will still feature open paddock access and fan activations, drawing the biggest crowd of any IMSA support series.
Attendance trends show a steady surge. IMSA president John Doonan noted that the recent record turnout at Road America’s first six‑hour endurance race “has grown substantially.” The 2027 dates are expected to translate that momentum into another high turnout.
Weekend Attractions and Support Scoring
Alongside the headline race, the weekend will showcase a series of support races, offering additional racing action for spectators. Fan‑friendly activities and the open paddock layout will keep the atmosphere vibrant throughout the four days.
Ticketing and Attendance Outlook
Tickets bought at the advance $140 rate will be honored for the August dates automatically. The advance four‑day pricing tier will remain open for a limited time. Current order holders seeking assistance should contact Road America’s ticket office.
By giving loyal Road America fans the runway to adjust travel schedules, the venue is confident it will secure another “amazing turnout” for the 2027 Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix.
