Trans-Am has released a preliminary entry list for next week's races at Circuit of the Americas. The event also doubles as the Trans-Am West Coast Championship season finale. 24 cars are entered in the TA1 / TA3 / TA4 race (with 10 in TA1) and 30 cars are entered in the TA2 race. The event shares the weekend with the SVRA. No television or streaming coverage is slated, so this race will only feature a highlights recap.

Following the race at CoTA, Trans-Am travels to Daytona for their 2018 season finale on November 9 & 10. This event also shares the car with HSR's annual historic event. This race will be broadcast LIVE on Motor Trend on Demand, and delayed on CBS Sports Network in December. Trans-Am released a preliminary entry list earlier this month with 50 cars in total entered across the 4 classes, with 17 in TA1 & 20 in TA2. All 4 classes will run as a combined race as well.

Trans-Am has uploaded the CBS Sports television highlights from the Watkins Glen races in September

Stream for the Thailand Super Series which features TA2 Thailand is live for today's races. Not sure when the TA2 race is supposed to start as the overall series doesn't have a schedule posted anywhere.

Streams for today's Performax TA2 Muscle Car Series race at Eastern Creek & TA2 Thailand race at Chang is live. Only 1 more race on the cards for TA2 Australia today, which was slated for 01:10PM (AEDT) / 10:10PM (US-ET). There was a schedule change however with SST slated for that time. Combined Sedans / IROC is next before SST so I assume it will be on after SST.
