2004 American Le Mans Series


The 2004 American Le Mans Series season was the 34th season for the IMSA GT Championship, and the sixth under the American Le Mans Series banner. It was a series for Le Mans Prototypes and Grand Touring race cars divided into 4 classes: LMP1, LMP2, GTS, and GT. It began March 20, 2004 and ended October 16, 2004 after 9 races.

Schedule

Three circuits were added to the 2004 schedule, replacing three events which did not return from 2003. The sprint event at Road Atlanta along with Circuit Trois-Rivières and the Miami, Florida street circuit were removed, while Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Portland International Raceway both returned once again. These were joined by the addition of Lime Rock Park. The removal of Trois-Rivières rendered Mosport as the only race outside the United States.
