The Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series (ALMS) have agreed on a name for their unified series, set to debut next year.
From 2014, the two series will be known as United SportsCar Racing.
Names for the five future classes were also revealed.
The top category, that combines the ALMS' P2 class and the Grand-Am DP category will be known simply as the "Prototype" class (P).
The Prototype Challenge (PC) class, seen before in the ALMS, remains untouched, much like the GT class of the ALMS, which will from next year be known as the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class.
GT cars from the Grand-Am field will merge with cars from the ALMS' GTC field into one GT Daytona (GTD) category.
Finally, the GX class, born this year in Grand-Am, remains the same.
Furthermore, the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) was nominated as the Unified SportsCar Racing's sanctioning body.
