United States Touring Car Championship - Episode 1

United States Touring Car Championship - Episode 1Show more

The United States Touring Car Championship is the longest running touring car championship in the United States. Cars are production-based sedans, coupes and hatchbacks with chassis and suspensions that have been modified for maximum performance.

The on-track action is always very intense and hard-fought and team strategy can make a big difference. USTCC events utilize a standing start which is one of the most exciting thrills in all of motorsports.
There are four classes in USTCC. Sportsman is the entry level class with cars putting out about 200 hp. Next up in the Touring Car class and cars here put out around 300 hp. The Super Touring class cars are a bit quicker and these cars are closer to about 400 hp. The GT cars usually have big V8 engines putting out over 500 hp.

Engines in USTCC cars put out from 200hp to over 500 hp, depending on class and are mostly stock internally but a power to weight formula keeps them even. Cars use stock transmissions in the lower classes with aftermarket final drive ratios and limited slip differentials.
Oversize racing brakes are allowed which allows these racing machines to stop from high speeds time after time with ease.
Racing shocks and springs are used to make the cars handle the turns and Hankook racing tires provide the grip. Aerodynamics are pretty open to allow the cars to look good and provide downforce.
All cars use the latest safety equipment to ensure the drivers are protected. These items include a full safety roll cage, racing harness, fire extinguisher system, electrical kill switch, Nomex fire suits, and more.
