MotoIQ's Guide to the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series

MotoIQ's Guide to the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series

By Efrain Olivares 
 
While no doubt some of you have heard of the 24 Hours of Daytona, I'm guessing far fewer have heard of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series. Which is too bad, because the cars are pretty damn cool and the racing is ultra competitive.

Inside Look: Dino Crescentini's StopTech Porsche 911 GT3

By Steve Rockwood
