Post subject:  Trans Am Series Discussion

General discussion thread for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli, as well as international based series using the TA2 ruleset. Those include: the Performax TA2 Muscle Car Racing Series, TA2 Asia / TA2 Thailand.

Trans-Am has made a major comeback over the last couple of years with increased car counts & more historic tracks returning to their schedules. TA2 has become a standalone division for every race where applicable, while TA1 has seen a resurgence as top drivers like Boris Said & Chris Dyson have recently joined the tour.

Original post from 2016:
Spoiler:
Saw we didn't have a thread for Trans-Am, so I decided to make one as the series is starting to make a slight comeback, so much in fact that the TA2 class now has standalone races at several race weekends on the schedule due to the amount of entries for that class.

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON!

more like STRAIGHT OUTTA TRANS-AM!

Seriously, I'm glad the SCCA threw the book at him. No place in racing for what he did.

Both races from Mid Ohio were uploaded to Trans-Am's YouTube. Linked them to the main post like the others.

Just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread. I had forgotten all about the series until i stumbled upon this a few months back. Been a great series to watch, a little bummed that they take quite a while to have the most recent race available on youtube tho. Can't wait to see the NOLA race from earlier today!

I don't think they taped the NOLA round for TV this year. If anything I am just glad to see the series getting more support & coverage now. This year is the first time in like 10 years they have had partial television coverage again I believe (with exception of 2 NASCAR companion events from last year which only made it to regional sports networks and a 1AM airtime on MavTV randomly)

Some changes for the 2016 season, TA3 was restructured into 3 new classes (TA3 (formerly TA3-International), TA4 (formerly TA3-American Muscle) & TA5) and 11 of the 12 races will have TA2 standalone races.
