The IMSA SportsCar Championship, currently known as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship under sponsorship, is a sports car racing series based in the United States and Canada and organized by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). It is a result of a merger between two existing North American sports car racing series, the American Le Mans Series and Rolex Sports Car Series. At its inception, the name was United SportsCar Championship, which subsequently changed to IMSA SportsCar Championship in 2016. IMSA awards championships and trophies to the most successful drivers and teams in each of the series' categories over the course of a season. Since 2021, points are awarded for individual race results as well as qualifying, with the highest tally of points winning the respective championship or trophy. Other unique championships include the Michelin Endurance Cup, WeatherTech Sprint Cup, Jim Trueman Award, Bob Akin Award, and the VP Fuels Front Runner Award. The Drivers', Teams', and Manufacturers' Championships have awarded since the series began in 2014, while the Tire Manufacturers' Championships was discontinued after the 2015 season. At the conclusion of the season, three champions receive an automatic invitation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The champions are not formally crowned until the IMSA awards ceremony after the season's final race.
There were four classes when the series was founded in 2014: Prototype (P), Prototype Challenge (PC), Grand Touring Le Mans (GTLM), and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD). In 2017, the PC class was discontinued when the season ended. The Prototype category was replaced by the Daytona Prototype International (DPi) and Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) classes in 2019. In 2021, the Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3) category was introduced. The following year, Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTD Pro) replaced the GTLM class. GTP replaced DPi as IMSA's top class and the LMP3 category was discontinued following the 2023 season.
As of the 2024 season, 53 drivers and 20 teams have won an IMSA title. Dane Cameron and Antonio García are the most successful IMSA drivers with four championships and Action Express Racing, PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, and Corvette Racing are the series' most successful team with five titles. There have been 28 drivers and 10 teams who have won a title in the Prototype classes. Jon Bennett, Colin Braun, Dane Cameron, and Felipe Nasr have earned the most Prototype drivers' titles with three each and Action Express Racing, and PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports have achieved the most Prototype teams' championships with four. Of the 28 drivers and 12 teams to have achieved a GT championship, García's four championship wins are the most in the GT classes and Corvette Racing have claimed all five of their teams' titles in the GT categories.
