Denver, CO - WC Vision announced today that it has added an additional race weekend to its 2015 schedule. The series' GT and GTA classes will return to race as part of the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, May 29-31, 2015. The event will feature two GT/GTA races.
 
"We had been working with the DGP staff for several months to sort through some issues that were important to the series," said Scott Bove, WC Vision, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We released what was to be the final schedule a few weeks back. The response from our fans, teams, drivers and marketing partners has been overwhelming in support of us continuing the negotiations with the track."
 
"Those discussions were rekindled, and over the past two weeks we have mutually agreed to add the DGP to our schedule." Bove also noted that the purse for the event will be a record for the GT class with more marketing details surrounding the event to be made in the coming weeks.

PWC going Live

Additionally, as part of a forthcoming announcement of a new series TV partner, the Sunday PWC race at Detroit will be featured with a live 90-minute TV broadcast.
 
With the addition of the Detroit weekend, GT and GTA classes will now compete in a total of 20 races. One additional TC/TCA/TCB race weekend is still to be announced.
