The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli has introduced a new racing class for the 2025 season known as TA Cup, featuring high-performance spec tube-frame vehicles built by Chris Evans Inc. This class will participate in both the Western Championship and the National Championship through the Pick 6 Challenge. The 600 rear-wheel horsepower TA Cup cars have been part of the Western Championship’s XGT class but are now separated to enhance competition and distinguish them from production cars. These cars weigh 2900 pounds, run on 18in. Pirelli P ZERO slicks, and use previous generation NASCAR engines. The collaboration between Chris Evans Inc. and Trans Am aims to expand the TA Cup class and establish it as a prominent division within the Trans Am Series. Jeff Jefferson and Chris Rohm are positive about the future of TA Cup and believe in the simplicity, speed, and competitive edge these cars bring to the racing scene.
