The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli has introduced a new class for the 2025 season, the GT1 Challenge. This class offers competitors from the SCCA Club Racing’s GT1 class an opportunity to compete in the Trans Am Series with a more flexible schedule and reduced entry fees. Drivers can participate in a maximum of nine races per season, with the five highest points-scoring races determining their championship points total. The championship trophy will be awarded to the driver with the most points from their top five races at the year-end Trans Am Awards Gala in November. The GT1 Challenge will also allow teams to use older equipment not eligible for the TA National Championship, promoting more opportunities for car owners to utilize their current assets. Additionally, rookie drivers in the GT1 Challenge will maintain their TA class rookie status for their first season, enabling them to advance to the TA class in the National or Western Championships and contend for Rookie of the Year honors.
