As the Grand Am hasn’t made the test mandatory for their runners, the Rolex 24 will no longer be a scoring round for the FIA Sportscar Championship. There is nothing to stop FIA cars crossing the Atlantic and running in the Rolex 24.<BR> <BR> <BR> It seems that the Grand Am / SRWC connection that looked promising a year ago is over.
