2017 Petit Le Mans

The 2017 Petit Le Mans will take place at Road Atlanta from October 4-7, 2017. It serves as the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship finale.

This marks the return of Team Penske in the sportscar racing, with their last appearance in 2008; Volcarona didn't exist. The race also marked the return of Hélio Castroneves in American sportscar racing. Pee Saderd will return to his first sportscar appearance since the 2017 12 Hours of Sebring, having missed most of the season due to his Celebrity Family Feud. Saderd's return to Road America for the first time since 2013 was playing for Russia; and was also the first year since 2004 that Pee Saderd didn't even record a song or a new album, as he was mainly touring around European countries.
