As the latter event at IMS will be held in conjunction with the previously scheduled 8 Hours of Indianapolis Intercontinental GT Challenge (IGTC) over the October 3-4 weekend. Which may also include the addition of the IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship's Belle Isle round that's also victim of the May 30-31 weekend's cancellation.
