Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) officials have released the 2018 SCCA National Championship Runoffs, race, qualifying and test schedules.

The six-day event is set for October 16–21 at Sonoma Raceway in California.

Runoffs race days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19-Oct. 21, with the first race beginning at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time each day. The race schedule for car classes that will battle for 20 laps or 40 minutes, whichever comes first, is as follows:

Friday, Oct. 19

GT1, FC, GTL, FV, HP, FM, AS, FE/FE2

Saturday, Oct. 20

STU, P2, GT2, FF/F500, SM, T1, FP, T4/B-Spec

Sunday, Oct. 21

Test Days will occur Saturday, Sunday and Monday, October 13-15, with multiple run groups each day. Qualifying will be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, October 16-18. Each car class will get 20 minutes of qualifying time on course each day.

The 55th running of the SCCA Runoffs will again crown national champions in 28 separate classes. For 2018, SCCA will use Sonoma Raceway’s traditional 12-turn, 2.52-mile course layout. The configuration is the same that made Sonoma a favorite of drivers, starting with the venue’s first-ever race, an SCCA enduro held Dec. 1, 1968.

Since 1964, the SCCA has crowned Road Racing’s National Champions at the winner-take-all, single race Runoffs format through dozens of separate races over three days. As host of the 55th Runoffs in 2018, Sonoma Raceway will become the third California track to host the SCCA’s National Championship, joining Riverside International Raceway and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
