The Rolex Sports Car Series is the premier level of Grand-Am Road Racing. The series' multi-class approach creates exciting racing as different types of cars compete on the same track, at the same time. Grand-Am is reasonably cost effective compared against similar competing leagues, and continues to steadily draw new teams, sponsors and spectators with an average race-day crowd of 41,000 people. The centerpiece of the series is the famous Rolex 24 at Daytona.
