Tribute to Le Mans weekend event at Auto Club Speedway.  In September 2011, the American Le Mans Series announced its association with the Unlimited Racing Championship (URC) as a ‘Heritage Series’ with races to be run on ALMS weekends at key events in 2012 and beyond.  The affiliation with ALMS & IMSA is a massive accomplishment on its own.  The URC will run identical NuArt CanAm cars that resemble the Can-Am cars of mid-1960s.

manufacturing and materials technologies worthy of aerospace applications and incorporating the latest safety capabilities.  The car is powered by a big block V-8 engine that is easy to maintain, and it sounds great.  Fly by wire engine controls and multiple power mappings and traction control selections facilitate a flexible and manageable learning curve.  Drivers can start out with ‘low’ horsepower (still 400+ HP) and traction control engaged and build up to 700+ HP without traction control.

Look for the NuArt CanAM car and for this exciting series to kick off during the Petit Le Mans ALMS weekend in the fall.
