catching up with Intercontinental GT Challenge, entry #1

We are playing catch up with Intercontinental GT Challenge.  They are coming into what will be only their second event of the truncated 2020 season, racing at what is essentially, one of if not the greatest race track on the planet, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana, this weekend, as the Indianapolis 8 Hours will be a support event to the IndyCar road course doubleheader also planned for the weekend.
