With the start of the 2025 season just weeks away, there is plenty to be excited about this year in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli. Here are the 10 things we can’t wait for this season, in no particular order.

Nitro Motorsports Attempting a Three-Peat

Nitro Motorsports has won the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series championship the last two years, with Brent Crews becoming the youngest champion in Trans Am history in 2023, and Rafa Matos becoming the first ever three-time TA2 champion in 2024. The team will have a ton of young talent in their stable competing for the title, with Thomas Annunziata returning to the team and Boris Said Jr. and Gian Buffomante joining the organization this season.

The GT1 Challenge

Debuting in 2025 is the GT1 Challenge. GT1 is a class that focuses on offering vehicles competing in the SCCA Club GT1 class a way to easily cross over to Pro racing in the Trans Am Series. The GT1 Challenge allows drivers to compete in a maximum of nine races per season, with their five highest points-scoring races making up their championship points total. The driver with the most points accumulated in their five best races will be recognized and awarded a championship trophy at the year-end Trans Am Awards Gala in November.

TA Cup Makes Its Debut

Another new class this season, TA Cup will utilize high-performance spec tube-frame vehicles with silhouette bodies, which will be eligible for competition in the Western Championship, as well as in the National Championship under the GT1 Challenge. The machines are produced by Chris Evans Inc., owned by two-time Western Championship title winner Chris Evans
