Red Bull GRC Announces Expanded 2015 Schedule

The 2015 Red Bull GRC season is going to be more competitive than ever. The new schedule features 12 rounds albeit with a few “double header” events. Some repeat locations from last season (the better venues thankfully) and a few new ones as well.  And unlike IndyCar, Red Bull GRC is apparently not afraid to compete with the NFL as there are events in September, October, and the season finishes off once again at SEMA in Las Vegas in November.

The other big news is dedicated GRC Lites coverage on NBCSN! Last season the Live GRC coverage barely had time to show a quick clip of Mitchell DeJong flying through the checkard flag. The racing in GRC Lites is usually very tight and exciting, not to mention this dedicated TV program is necessary for young up-and-comers to get sponsors.  This is great news. Without further ado, here is the official press release:
