Once upon a time it was. Lots of amazing history in TransAM.

You're absolutely right. I grew up watching this on tv. It's way cooler than Nascar.

@@nottakumi1226 There still amazing history in trans am. There is living history in the making right now. So many second and third generation families in the trans am series I'm just honored to be a part of it. I'm absolutely honored to be part of 2nd generation driver Simon Gregg's team.

I agree!

MOPAR!!!🤘😺🤘

Amen and the challengers God bless this series 👍

Dodge needs a serious comeback to major racing in general, not just NHRA.

@@jwilson2793 Amen

KSR performance and fabrication youtube channel has some behind the scenes and in car footage of that car. He works on and tunes the car.

MOPAR!!! 🤘😺🤘

I haven’t checked for the new ones but the old trans am cars are all available as free mods for Assetto Corsa. Also almost all the IMSA cars and the CanAm cars.

Three modern trans am cars just gotta added to the new forza!

Yea after they added a bigger restrictor to the viper for the year

🤣

racing broadcasts continue to be trash. i watch simracing alot more because i like the incar view

That's the Richard Petty Motorsports Magical car, my boy 😎

Someone who deserves the number 43 👍

@@leegtracer3763 Never knew that people still remembered the 43, as a NASCAR fan, the 43's been always the best for me, I hope that Erik Jones re-lives my all-time favourite team, and who knows? They can return to Ford once.

I'm from the England and grew up in the 90's so grew up watching name's like Colin McRae Richard Burns in Wrc. Mansell, Hill, Schumacher in F1. Earnhardt in NASCAR so number 3 for me. A lot of people just say all NASCAR driver's do is turn left. To me that's just bs. To win Daytona that's pure Racing you don't get many second chances if you make a mistake. I remember when I heard Earnhardt, McRae Burns passed away it ripped my heart out. Hence why I see the heritage and legacy being torn up when underserved driver's get numbers like this. Either retire the number or put someone that deserves the legacy in the seat. 7 Daytona 500's for the king 43

@@leegtracer3763 Agree, Tbh, people here in portugal hate NASCAR for the simillar reason, oval tracks, that they think "easy" to race in, I would like to see them atleast try to watch a NASCAR race, or even to get a racing SIM and try to go from the top 15 to first.

It originally did. 1966-1972 about 7 factory teams and was the most popular racing series in North America.

@@jeremiahd2417 Yes that's true, I'm aware of the history but presently most people are unaware of it's existence. A real shame as it's one of the most exciting series out there.

Wish I would have paid attention to it when I was a kid, the Paul Newman and Bruce Jenner days ahaha

Naw. 1966-1972

@@samcollins4544 Real Trans Am. Mark Donahue Parnelli Jones Dan Gurney

It's awesome today

@@davidpeterson9287 Funny how Bruce was never seen together with Janet Guthrie? Hmm.

ha ha ha you funny

nascar has more road courses than ever this year.

@@malaven11 But Nascar sucks. The drivers are a bunch of babies.

@@malaven11 I also don't know any racing series where strategy and tactical driving are so important. Especially on the oval ones. And NASCAR is often more driver vs driver. And not driver against track because the field is rapidly expanding. The only type of motor sport with an even greater field density is motorcycle racing.

Ever heard of IMSA?

Mvp

Not this year

@@SilverSylphidethank you for the info

The Same racingseries exist in Australia too

Sounds better than Supercars

Pretty much. We also have historic trans am which is our equivalent of Touring Car Masters. Only difference is that the cars are untouched essentially all except for the tires 1966-72.

@@marvinlinnarz5856 with TA2 yes. Just not the GT and main TA cars.

This is a replay.

@@skepticalbadger k thanks

I heard that someone is working on making a custom engine from two Honda engines so that there can technically be a Honda V8 engine.

@@paxhumana2015 haha that’s awesome! Honda fans are always making ways to stick it to the haters lol

Are we just going to forget about the 12 Hours of Sebring for 1993 won by a Honda, and 24 hour of Daytona as well?

Little Honda? You should check out the Super GT Honda NSX. Almost 700bhp and LMP levels of downforce.....makes these TransAm cars look very ordinary.

@Z H, you are aware that there were storms that were heading into the area and that it could also have been interfering with the camera and satellite feeds, right?

I agree the glitchy delayed cameras made the coverage seem second rate. Old analog film coverage of races is noticeably better than this.

Current TA rules don’t allow for c8’s - TA2’s never allowed for vettes

C8’s could be allowed in XGT and SGT

@@Daytonaman675 Do u mean no c8 in TA2 or no vettes in general? If no vettes in general why is that?

@@bizzlea887 I haven’t read the TA2 rules but my understanding is they have a specific CD (coefficient of drag) they are after that would preclude any vette (too aerodynamic) in TA it specifies front engine RWD architecture.

@@Daytonaman675 thanx for the info...I like the series but haven't delved into the rules of it at all

Also the drivers interviewing each other at the end lol nice. Here’s how you grow the series, let nascar buy you out and then run as a support series with nascar fans already in attendance, and get some big names to hop in the TA class. But I also respect that this series is still super grass roots and isn’t a total sellout

He is starting his formula journey this season with FR Americas which is a feeder series to F1 and IndyCar

@Zypher, the weather conditions were interfering with the cameras.

We play the national anthem before the main races on Sunday. It is just not shown on the replay. You can watch the full race day coverage on the Trans Am by Pirelli Racing App

@So Isaidtogod, um, you are aware that the Chevrolet Corvette and Dodge/Chrysler Viper have dominated more than any other competitors in international racing circuits like these, as well as the IMSA and every other racing league that they are allowed to race in, right?

Except for the XGT GT3 R which is about the same speed.

Financial resources are limited as there is no TV contract and I believe no title sponsor. I am fine with not having real time updates.

Trans Am is an either or situation. We either run 100 miles or 70-75 minutes depending on the track, which ever comes first. This helps with set ups, keeping on schedule and for fuel allotment

@Morten frost Hansen, and how long have you known Trans Am racing personally?

@@paxhumana2015 the original TA series had about 5 factory teams and qas the most populat series in North America.
