Road Atlanta was the setting to finish the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, where Patrick Pilet and Dirk Werner secured the GTLM-class North American Endurance Cup. Petit Le Mans on the 2.54 mile Road Atlanta circuit is, alongside the three other long-distance IMSA series classics; Daytona, Sebring and Watkins Glen, counted as part of the hotlycontested North American Endurance Cup. Patrick Pilet and Dirk Werner joined forces with a third driver for the final race of the season, overall 2015 Le Mans-winner Nick Tandy. The trio brought their No911 car home in sixth place in the GTLM class having battled through 10-hours of racing, completing 392 laps. Having spent long stretches on course for a podium spot during the final race, Laurens Vanthoor and Gianmaria Bruni were partnered by Earl Bamber in the sister 911 RSR, the No912 entry – they ultimately crossed the finish line in fifth spot.
