Trans Am National | Road Atlanta 2024

Gearheads, mark your calendars! As the winter chill loosens its grip, the roar of American muscle engines signals the highly anticipated return of the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli. Buckle up for a weekend of pure Americana and high-octane racing as some of the most iconic muscle cars battle it out on this historic circuit.

Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, also known as “Road Atlanta,” is a true test of driver skill and machine prowess. This challenging 2.54-mile circuit throws everything at the Trans Am competitors: long straights that demand raw speed, hair-raising corners that test agility, and the infamous Eau Rouge corner, a seemingly never-ending uphill climb that pushes both car and driver to their limits.

The excitement begins on March 22nd with practice and qualifying sessions. Securing a strong starting position is crucial for navigating the intense competition that unfolds over the two, 40-lap races scheduled for March 24th.

Unlike some endurance races, the Trans Am National format emphasizes short, action-packed sprints. Expect to see door-to-door battles, strategic pit stops, and calculated overtaking maneuvers as drivers vie for victory. This isn’t just a driver’s show; it’s a testament to exceptional teamwork. Teams will meticulously plan fuel consumption, tire wear, and driver changes throughout the races. Every pit stop becomes a critical moment – a well-rehearsed symphony of tire changes, driver swaps, and refueling, all executed with lightning speed to gain a precious edge over the competition.

The Trans Am National at Road Atlanta is a breeding ground for future motorsport stars. Young drivers will have the opportunity to prove their talent on this daunting circuit, while seasoned veterans will battle it out for the coveted first-place finish. The starting grid will be filled with teams from across the United States, all hungry for victory in this iconic race.

The Trans Am Series features five distinct classes: TA/XGT/SGT/GT (closed-cockpit cars) and the closed-cockpit TA2 class. This ensures a diverse field of American muscle cars, from the iconic Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang to the roaring Dodge Challenger and sleek Dodge Viper.

Mark your calendars for March 22nd-24th and be there to witness the heart-pounding action of the Trans Am National at Road Atlanta. Feel the rush of adrenaline as these powerful machines thunder around the track, their engines echoing through the Georgia countryside. This is a motorsport spectacle you won’t want to miss!
