Competition organized by International Motor Sports Association From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2019 Michelin Pilot Challenge is the twentieth season of the IMSA SportsCar Challenge and the sixth season organized by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). Michelin is set to become the new official tire supplier of the series, following the departure of Continental Tire at the end of 2018.
The Street Tuner (ST) class will not return to the renamed series after the 2018 season.
The 2019 schedule was released on 3 August 2018 and features twelve rounds.[2]
