Trans Am Racing Series
The Trans Am Racing Series is a premier sports car racing series in North America, founded in 1966 by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Known for its thrilling races and iconic muscle cars, the series features a variety of classes, including the powerful TA class and the competitive TA2 class.
The Trans Am Series is renowned for its 850 horsepower TA class cars, which are known for their speed, sound, and pure racing experience, as electronic driver aids are banned. The TA2 class, on the other hand, brings back the "Muscle Car Wars" of the 1960s and 1970s, with cars like the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and Ford Mustang competing at around 530 horsepower.
