TV and movie heartthrob Patrick Dempsey, who competes in the GT
class.

SPEED will continue to be the television home of GRAND-AM Road
Racing in 2012, televising all 13 Rolex Sports Car Series events
either live or on a same-day delay basis.
The GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series is one of the most
competitive
professional road racing championships in North America. The
series’ Daytona Prototype (DP) class has attracted the attention
of superstar drivers and universally recognized teams.
For 2012, DPs have been updated with new shapes and new
proportions, paired with the great racing you have come to expect
from these purebred race cars. While the DPs have redefined
prototype racing in the U.S., the Rolex Series’ GT class has done
the same for high-performance, production-based sports car
racing. In 2012, the GT class will welcome the arrival of popular
European makes, with GRAND-AM adding racing versions of the
Ferrari 458 and the Audi R8 to its diverse lineup.
