2012 Rolex Sports Car Series

The schedule was announced on November 9, 2011. It consists of thirteen rounds. Twelve were announced that day.[2] The final round at Lime Rock was announced November 14.[3]

On May 13, 2011, Grand Am announced that various changes would be made to the Daytona Prototypes for the 2012 season:[11]

• The greenhouse (cockpit) area will be nearly identical for all newly constructed cars. The roll cage will be narrower on each side of the car, although the driver's position will not change. There will be a one-inch zone throughout the greenhouse surface to allow for individual styling cues, including windshield implementation and window outlines.
• New minimum body cross-section provisions will give the new DPs a more upright front fascia and nose, rather than the more sloped layout of today's cars. This will allow manufacturers to add more design character to their cars, making them closer to their production cars while still offering the dramatic message embodied by a prototype.
• Flexibility has also been introduced into the rules for side bodywork, including production-derived sidepods and open vents behind the front wheels that will enable styling elements from street cars to be functional on the race cars.
