American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am Road Racing officials have announced the class structure they will use for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, when the two series are set to merge.
The first step in merging the two championships was to delete the P1 class, the fastest prototype category of the ALMS.
Organizers then proceeded by mixing together the ALMS' P2 class and Grand-Am's Daytona Prototype category. This class will also feature the revolutionary DeltaWing car.
Prototype Challenge (PC) competitors will keep racing separately, as they are right now in the ALMS.
As far as the GT cars where concerned, it was decided to let classes from each series continue racing separately among the field.
That being said, the ALMS' GT Challenge class (GTC) could blend with Grand-Am's half of the GT runners, or form a class of its own.
The GX class, debuting this year in Grand-Am, is facing the same situation; it could race on its own in 2014, or fuse with Grand-Am's half of the GT cars.
Class names have yet to be decided.
