TransAm Series presented by Pirelli
The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli is the longest running professional road racing series in North America, dating back to 1966. Throughout the years, some of the greatest names in motorsports have participated in the Trans Am Series. Names like Tommy Kendall, Mark Donohue, Peter Gregg, Bob Tullius and Wally Dallenbach, Jr. have all won multiple championships under the Trans Am name.
While Trans Am will always be dedicated to honoring its history and legacy, it is far from simply living in the past. Since the addition of the Trans Am Race Company, LLC in late 2011, Trans Am has experienced unprecedented growth as a new class-based model has been implemented. Now, five distinct classes take center stage (TA, XGT, SGT, GT and the Big Machine Vodka SPIKED Coolers TA2 Series) while Trans Am is positioned to power into the future, not live in the past.
The Trans Am Series has a rich tradition of racing at the Detroit Grand Prix. Trans Am Series cars raced in Downtown Detroit from 1984-1991 and then continued to compete with the Grand Prix when the event transitioned to the Belle Isle street circuit, racing on the island from 1992-2001, and once again from 2016-2019.
This summer in Detroit, the Trans Am Series Big Machine Vodka SPIKED Coolers TA2 Series will compete on the Streets of Downtown Detroit with races on both Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4 with the 3-Dimensional Services Group Muscle Car Challenge and the 3-Dimensional Services Group Motor City Showdown.
