BIGGER CALENDAR FOR TA2 SERIES
A new era of the TA2 Muscle Car Series will kick off with an expanded seven-round calendar in 2025 and a union with Trans Am.
Six of the rounds will be following the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series as usual with the season being bookended by trips to Winton.
The category will also head to Sydney, Queensland Raceway, Mallala and Mount Panorama after staging six events in 2024 with Morgan Park, The Bend and One Raceway dropping off.
The trip to Bathurst will be a major highlight, not only seeing drivers take on the legendary circuit at the 6 Hour event, but share the track with the National Trans Am series.
It will be the first time the separate categories racing with similar V8 machinery race together in a combined grid.
The two championships could converge again at classic South Australian circuit Mallala.
TA2 has confirmed it will head to the track for the first time, while it is believed Trans Am will also stage its penultimate round at the 2.6km circuit.
The TA2 Muscle Car Series will be sharing the spotlight at a South Australian state series meeting.
The trip to the “Paperclip” in Ipswich will be the annual two-driver meeting having previously been held at Hidden Valley and Tailem Bend.
The enduro will be the first of two trips to Queensland Raceway with the second headlining the 2 Days of Thunder meeting.
Each round will be broadcast with at least 8 hours live on SBS Speedweek from each Hi-Tec Super Series round, simulcast on Fox Sports and Kayo, plus coverage on the Seven Network for the Bathurst 6 Hour event.
The TA2 Muscle Car Series was recently brought out by new owners, who believe the new calendar only builds the excitement for 2025.
“We have been working very hard to finalise a calendar which offers the right balance on some of the great tracks in Australia, plus adding new events such as Mallala and the Bathurst 6 Hour,” said Mark Crutcher, Series Co-Owner and driver.
“Joining Trans Am at Mount Panorama will deliver a fantastic field and a great spectacle, plus supporting George Gambino’s Hi-Tec Oils Super Series as the headline act for all other rounds gives our teams a great platform to benefit from live free to air media coverage.”
“This calendar represents what our drivers, new owners and corporate partners want, which was a combination of fast flowing circuits plus some shorter, more technical venues and a Free To Air Television package, and I think we’ve delivered that,” Matt MacKelden, Category Manager said.
“Like all racing categories, television is very important so a combination of both Hi-Tech Oil Super Series, plus the Bathurst 6 Hour with Trans Am will provide great value to our drivers, their sponsors and our corporate partners.”
