Difference between revisions of "American GT Cup"

The '''American GT Cup'''  is an event that was first held during the [[2012 Winter GT Series season]] at [[Daytona International Speedway]], Daytona Beach. One of only two events to make the jump from the Winter GT Series, for the [[2013 World GT Series season]] the race was be held at [[Watkins Glen International]], Watkins Glen. Despite the change in track however, the American GT Cup had retained its status as the Series' season closer. Before the 2013 race, a 'Lap of Remembrance' was held to pay tribute to the Porsche Supercup driver, Sean Edwards, and ex-Marussia F1 test driver, Maria de Villota; both of whom had passed away in the week preceding the event. For [[2014 World GT Series season|2014]], the location of the event would once again move; this time to the [[Circuit of the Americas]], Austin. Further changes included the loss of its place as the Series' season finale and a running under the name of the '6 Hours of the Circuit of the Americas'.
