Default Trans Am Race Series Names Pirelli as Official Tire and Series Sponsor



Trans Am cars will now be shod with Pirelli racing rubber, as they have stepped forth to fill a void.

As a fan, I'm unsure whether this is a good or bad thing as they used Hoosiers last year & prior. I'm hoping Pirelli can infuse some money so the TA1 body shells can get beyond C6 & early 5th Gen Mustangs. THAT would be most appreciated.

On race weekends, Trans-Am's top class looks like a joke compared to its own secondary class TA2 with modern Challenger, Camaro & Mustang bodies let alone competing sports car series IMSA & PWC. I know it's an all-privateer series, but having race car bodies from 2010 is an embarrassment.
