In the process of merging together, the Grand-Am and ALMS series have announced a shared weekend on their respective 2013 calendar.

The shared venue is a first for the two biggest sports car racing series on the continent. The said venue is set for August 10-11, in Road America.

Furthermore, Grand-Am revealed it would visit three other new tracks next year: Circuit of the Americas (Austin, Texas), Road Atlanta (Braselton, Georgia) and Kansas Speedway (Kansas City, Kansas).

“Last year we raced for the first time at Indianapolis and Detroit, and Grand-Am will continue to break new ground in 2013,” said Ed Bennett, Grand-Am president and CEO.

“We’re excited about going to historic Road Atlanta – plus the new road courses at Austin and Kansas City – for the first time. And with the combined event at Road America, sports car fans will get a glimpse of the future.”

Events returning on the Grand-Am calendar include Mid-Ohio (June 15), Laguna Seca (September 8), and Lime Rock (September 27-28).
