Trans Am Series

American muscle at full noise — a championship running since 1966.

What is Trans Am Series?

The Trans Am Series is one of the oldest road-racing championships in America, born in 1966 when Mustangs and Camaros fought factory wars on road courses — the era that gave the world the Boss 302 and the Z/28. Today's series keeps that DNA: front-engined, V8-powered muscle on America's classic road courses.

TA and TA2 use purpose-built racing machinery with bodywork resembling road-going muscle cars. TA2 is not a field of lightly modified showroom cars. Watch how braking stability and tyre management affect battles late in a run.

How a race weekend works

Race weekends run sprint races of roughly 100 miles per class with no pit stops — flat-out from green to checkered.

The National Championship visits legendary venues like Sebring, Road America, Watkins Glen and Circuit of The Americas, with a separate Western Championship on the Pacific side.

How to follow it

Check Trans Am's current viewing information for your region. Our race pages show watch information where supplied; a reminder does not guarantee a stream is available.

Watch the TA2 field into turn one on lap one: forty muscle cars funnelling into a corner is the series' signature moment.
