Bound by a partnership for over a decade, the ACO and IMSA have announced the extension of their strategic alliance until 2032, confirming their mutual desire to build a coherent global framework. This collaboration notably allows three IMSA teams to receive automatic invitations each year to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and for the American event Petit Le Mans to retain its designation.
