We’re really excited about sharing this premier SCCA experience with enthusiasts across the country.”

American Sedan, Formula F, GT-2, Spec Miata, Spec Racer Ford Gen 3 and Super Touring Lite will all be called at the Runoffs as if they are going to CBS. A myriad of factors will go into making final determination of races to be aired, including production and on-track qualities.
The winner-take-all 2017 National Championship Runoffs will consist of 19-lap or 40-min. races on a 15-turn, 2.592-mile road course. The circuit layout consists of ten right-hand and five left-hand turns, as well as a main straight 3,700 feet in length. The configuration includes portions of Indianapolis Motor Speedway previously utilized by Formula One for the U.S. Grand Prix and currently used by the Verizon IndyCar Series for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis.
