The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship continues its West Coast swing this weekend in California for the StubHub Monterey SportsCar Championship at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
The historic 11-turn, 2.238-mile road course will play host to a two-hour, 40-minute race Sunday on Peacock and NBCSN with three categories: Grand Touring Prototype, GTD Pro and GTD.
The No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963 is the two-time defending overall winner, and the No. 77 AO Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) in GTD Pro and No. 57 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG GT 3 in GTD also have won back to back at Laguna Seca.
Acura won the GTP category in the Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 18 with Lexus taking the GTD win.
In the premier hybrid prototype category, the No. 31 Cadillac V-Series.R has started the 2026 season with three consecutive podiums (the only GTP team to accomplish the feat) but still is seeking its first trip to victory lane.
