Calendar

On September 30, 2011, ALMS president Scott Atherton announced an eleven race schedule for 2012. All nine of the events on the 2011 race schedule are carried over, while two new events are planned but not yet announced. Atherton stated three different venues are vying for the two calendar spots. One of the two new events was later removed from the calendar. The calendar will also share the 12 Hours of Sebring with the successor to the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, the FIA World Endurance Championship,^[1] while the Petit Le Mans will count as the final round of the European Le Mans Series. It was also announced that four events would be televised live, while the rest would be streamed live on ESPN3 and televised on a tape delay the following day. All tape-delayed events were broadcast on ESPN, and began approximately one hour into the race.

On January 16, the ninth round was announced to take place at Virginia International Raceway on the Full Course layout. It will be both the first visit by ALMS to Virginia, as well as the first competition held on this layout.^[2]

Team announcements

On November 11, 2011, it was announced that Rolex Sports Car Series team Dempsey Racing, owned by Hollywood actor/driver Patrick Dempsey and driver Joe Foster, and Silicon Tech Racing (STR), owned by racer Henri Richard, would partner, creating Silicon Tech/Dempsey Racing, to campaign an Oreca FLM09 in the LMP Challenge class for the 2012 season.^[3] Later in March, Dempsey announced that they will be fielding an LMP2 car in the 2012 ALMS season.^[4]
Aston Martin Racing will be returning to GT for the 2012 season after fielding a prototype for several years. In addition to the 12 Hours of Sebring for the WEC, AMR will also participate in the Long Beach and Monterey rounds to prepare for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.^[5]
Lotus will also be fielding a team with Alex Job Racing.^[6]
SRT Motorsports will be fielding a two-car factory backed GTE effort in a Riley Technologies developed Dodge Viper. Drivers include Kuno Wittmer, Dominik Farnbacher, Tommy Kendall and Marc Goossens. The car has received a waiver from ACO as its 8.4L V10 engine is above the maximum displacement of 5.5L allowed by the rules.^[7] The team will debut the cars at the Mid-Ohio round.
Libra Racing will enter a Radical SR10 using a Roush-Yates Ford Ecoboost V6 into P2 from Laguna Seca onward.^[8]
