일정
경기 일정
2015년 일정은 2014년 8월 10일에 공개되었으며 12라운드가 특징이다.[4]2015년 규칙의 한 가지 주요한 변화는 텔레비전 제약을 맞추기 위해 경기 시간을 약간 줄인 것이다.당시보다 15분 단축됐던 2시간과 3시간 경주는 경주 시간이 5분 더 단축돼 예년과 마찬가지로 1시 45분과 2시 45분이 아닌 각각 1시 40분과 2시 40분이 된다.6시간, 10시간, 12시간, 24시간 동안 설정된 경주는 각각의 길이로 유지된다.
Championship points are awarded in each class at the finish of each event. Points are awarded based on finishing positions as shown in the chart below.[35]

Drivers Points
Points are awarded in each class at the finish of each event. Drivers must complete a minimum driving time (outlined to teams prior to each event) in order to score points. A driver does not score points if the minimum drive time is not met.[35]
In addition, for each car credited with a race start, each driver nominated in that car also receives one additional “starting point.”[35]
Team Points
Team points are calculated in exactly the same way as driver points, using the point distribution chart and “starting points.” Each car entered is considered its own “team” regardless if it is a single entry or part of a two-car team.[35]
Manufacturer Points
There are also a number of manufacturer championships which utilize the same season-long point distribution chart, minus the “starting points” used for the driver and team championships. (The “starting point” is not used in manufacturer championship points.) The manufacturer championships recognized by IMSA are as follows:[35]
GT Le Mans (GTLM): Car Manufacturer; Tire Manufacturer
GT Daytona (GTD): Car Manufacturer
Each manufacturer receives finishing points for its highest finishing car in each class. The positions of subsequent finishing cars from the same manufacturer are not taken into consideration, and all other manufacturers move up in the order.[35]
Example: Manufacturer A finishes 1st and 2nd at an event, and Manufacturer B finishes 3rd. Manufacturer A receives 35 first-place points while Manufacturer B would earn 32 second-place points.[35]
The points system from the 2014 season is the same as in 2015.[36]
North American Endurance Cup
The points system for the North American Endurance Cup is different from the normal points system. Points are awarded on a 5-4-3-2 basis for drivers, teams and manufacturers. The first finishing position at each interval earns five points, four points for second position, three points for third, with two points awarded for fourth and each subsequent finishing position.[35]

At Daytona (24 hour race), points are awarded at six hours, 12 hours, 18 hours and at the finish. At the Sebring (12 hour race), points are awarded at four hours, eight hours and at the finish. At Watkins Glen (6 hour race), points are awarded at three hours and at the finish. At Road Atlanta (10-hour race), points are awarded at four hours, eight hours and at the finish.[35]
Like the season-long team championship, North American Endurance Cup team points are awarded for each car and drivers get points in any car that they drive, in which they are entered for points. The manufacturer points go to the highest placed car from that manufacturer (the others from that manufacturer not being counted), just like the season-long manufacturer championship.[35]
For example: in any particular segment manufacturer A finishes 1st and 2nd and manufacturer B finishes 3rd. Manufacturer A only receives first-place points for that segment. Manufacturer B receives the second-place points.[35]
