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.

Josh Carlson Kicks Off 2025 with a Victory at Sebring
The SGT class finished just as it started, with Joshua Carlson (No. 36 Enseva/Diercks Ltd./TC Fab Ford Mustang) leading the event from green to checkers.
"We took away the neon and then we start winning, so I would say I think that added a few horsepower," said Carlson, who was asked if his new livery was responsible for his victory in the season opener. "I'm very happy to be able to win this race and dominate through most of the weekend. We had a good baseline going into this week and we built off of it and were able to secure the win. Thank you to Enseva for coming back on board this year. I wouldn't be able to race without the support my family. Hopefully, we can develop this car a bit more to run up front the rest of the season. Congratulations to Patrick Utt on his first Trans Am podium."
