The 3-Dimensional Services Group Motor City 100 - an invitational exhibition race at the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, featuring TA, TA2 and TA4 - 2016
the picture at 15.08 is at Seattle international raceway in 68 or 69 I was 13 teen and 14 teen years old there at both of the races had to wait 5 years to have my 69 Z/28 that I still have today at 61
They should have let em race in the rain to the finish. Let em decide to come in and get rain tires or stay out. I think there's way too much attrition for these short races though. Trans Am Series needs to work on reliability and also multi-class racing techniques and skill. I love the series though and thanks for the video uploads.
What you need is a new Shelby or Brabham.. a guy that buys good chassis and make them better. And are able to make deals with manufacturers, in order to make affordable customer cars.. Which then feeds the race series with improved production cars, just like it should be. Instead of a futuristic road-going Batmobile or $450.000 luxury cars made more expensive.. That's for F1 to have wings everywhere and Le Mans to have supercars with a spoiler and sticky tires
Does the lead commentator know he does NOT have to talk over every second of coverage? And yes, I do realise by posting this comment I gave the terrible commentating another +1 on the view count. Please, just make him shut up. Save of the century by the driver in turn 1 that slid and missed the wall. Tremendous driving.
Dumb question : TA1 is the "big boy" class and pure racing cars... Tube frame, non production engines? TA2 is basically the same as TA1 just with less power and less aero..? Are they production based engines? TA4 is production based - so probably similar to GT4 spec I assume? Now the dumb question - Where, and what, are the TA3 cars?
In the 80's there were a bunch of turbo 6 cyl cars, and a 5-cyl audi that showed up and blew everyone away. But yeah, when I think of the trans-am series , I think of 60's and 70's muscle. Now the TA class seems like they're all running the same chassis and engine but with different bodies.... That's not how you capture viewer/sponsor interest. A series needs diversity to build popularity, some way for viewers to pick something to root for other than a driver that they've never heard of.
except in 1988 when that american muscle got raped so bad by Audi 2 liter euro boxes that they went full protectionist and banned everything that is not 'american muscle.'
shaadydog1 That’s just one class, and it needs to look like that to be competitive aero wise. There are stock chassis and/or stock body mustangs in every other class (and great racing) and that’s what you focus on? Don’t be be so negative.
