2021 Trans-Am Series

The 2021 Trans-Am Series season is the 53rd running of the Trans-Am Series. The National Championship began on February 19 and will run for 15 rounds with one being only for TA2 cars.[1] A separate West Coast Championship will also be held with some rounds separate from the national series and some together. Within the national championship, a Northern Cup and Southern Cup are also awarded consisting of the point totals from certain rounds for drivers who are not running the full season.[2] Similar to the Cups, the Pro/Am Challenge will be held to help SCCA competitors try out Trans Am[3]. Points are given for two specific Pro/Am Challenge races and four other races of competitor's choice in either the national Trans Am Series or the Trans Am West Coast Championship.

Race Schedule and Results

National Championship

A 15-round preliminary schedule was released on October 19, 2020 ahead of the final two rounds of the 2020 season. The schedule represented a return to normality after the Coronavirus outbreak heavily impacted the 2020 season. For the first time since 2017, the series will return to Homestead-Miami Speedway. Trans-Am will also be having its first ever race at the newly renovated Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval and a TA2-only round at the inaugural running of the Music City Grand Prix on the streets of Nashville.[5] No double-headers are scheduled to return following their appearances in 2020; however, all tracks that were featured on the preliminary 2020 calendar are scheduled for 2021 as well. For the first time in series history, Trans-Am is instituting a drop-round system where competitors can choose to drop their two worst round results including non-appearances that took place before August 1.[6]
