Virtual Road America and Virginia International Raceway have been added to the IMSA iRacing Pro Series schedule, completing the six-round invitational esports series featuring real-life IMSA drivers.

Confirmed by IMSA President John Doonan on Thursday, the two world-class circuits will be the virtual venues for races on May 14 (Road America) and May 28 (VIR), which had previously been to-be-announced circuits.
