2025 Trans Am schedule includes series’ first visit to Barber Motorsports Park
The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli has announced the 2025 schedules for its National Championship, which will visit 12 unique venues across the United States, and Western Championship, which will stop at five tracks to complete a nine-race schedule.
The National Championship schedule offers the return to many of the same iconic venues as seasons past, as well as a series debut at Barber Motorsports Park. All 12 racetracks on the schedule will host points-paying races for both the TA/XGT/SGT/GT classes and CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series.
The Western Championship schedule will increase its number of combination events with the National Championship, while still holding two standalone doubleheader weekends.
The National Championship schedule will begin as it has for more than a decade, at the birthplace of Trans Am, Sebring International Raceway (February 20-23). Sebring is the track where the longest-running professional road racing series in North America made its debut in 1966, and it has hosted 29 Trans Am events over the past 58 years. The season-opener will be preceded by a two-day Sebring test (January 20-21).
After Sebring, Trans Am will head to historic Road Atlanta (March 20-23). The series will then do a West Coast swing, with back-to-back races at Sonoma Raceway (April 24-27) and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca (May 2-4) in combination with the Western Championship. Next is a trip to fan-favorite Lime Rock Park for its Memorial Day Weekend event (May 23-26).
The next round on the schedule is Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (June 19-22), which will go back-to-back with Road America (June 26-29). From there, the series goes to Watkins Glen International for a new summer date (July 11-13). Trans Am will then return to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (August 28-31) before heading to VIRginia International Raceway, which moves two weeks earlier on the calendar (September 18-21).
The penultimate race of the season will be the Trans Am Series debut at Barber Motorsports Park (October 17-19). Opened in 2003, Barber is known for its stunning facilities and challenging, dynamic and picturesque road course. For the final event, teams will visit Circuit of The Americas (October 30-November 2) for a season finale combination event with the Western Championship. The weekend will be capped off with the series’ year-end awards gala.
“All 12 racetracks on the 2025 Trans Am schedule have been selected because they are favorites for both drivers and spectators,” said Parella Motorsports Holdings COO Michael Printup. “Our schedule offers diverse, bucket-list facilities across the United States, and we are thrilled with the addition of Barber Motorsports Park. We believe that the 2025 season will be the best yet for the Trans Am Series.”
Western Championship schedule includes more pairings with National Championship
The 2025 Western Championship schedule kicks off with back-to-back combination events with the National Championship at Sonoma Raceway (April 24-27) and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca (May 2-4). Next up is a standalone doubleheader at Portland International Raceway (July 25-27), before competitors take a hiatus for the remainder of the summer months.
Drivers return to action at Thunderhill Raceway Park (October 10-12) for another standalone doubleheader. As in years past, the season will conclude at Circuit of The Americas (October 30-November 2) for a final combination weekend with the National Championship. National and Western competitors will be celebrated at the awards gala that weekend.
“Feedback from our drivers and teams indicated the desire for more combination events with National competitors, and we’re excited to bring the two Championships together for three events in 2025,” said Printup. “We also believe that the combination of single races and doubleheader weekends provides balance to the schedule, with enough races to provide a well-rounded and competitive championship battle.”
As the 2024 season winds down, the Trans Am Series returns to action at VIRginia International Raceway for the penultimate race for National Championship competitors October 3-6, while the Western Championship next heads to Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch October 18-20 for their final doubleheader weekend of the season. Both championships then converge for the season finale at Circuit of The Americas, October 31-November 3.
