The 2012 Round of New York was the 19th round of the 2012 TM Master Cup season at the Streets of New York in New York City. It was a special points race for teams who boycotted the Michigan race, while also serving as an exhibition for Master Cup cars on the street course.

Pre-Race[edit | edit source]

In order to increase the car count for this race, TM Master Cup series organizers allowed all participating teams to enter their third cars as well. Due to some reserve drivers, such as Juho Kivela and Jacob Kard, not being available for the weekend, some teams called on last-minute replacement drivers.

Jacques Bouvier returned to competition in the third Majestic Motorsports entry, marking his first start of the season for that team. BlackDiamond Racing employed Paul Lyons to run their third car, making this his first TM Master Cup series race since 2009. He was also slated to participate in the ARLA race later in the evening at Orange County, and the relatively short travel distance allowed Lyons to be available to run both races in the same day. He missed the second practice session before qualifying.

This is the second race in which fan designed paint schemes were used. Mitchell & Sons Racing opted to use the fan-designed MHL paintscheme for two of their three cars.

This was the shortest race of the season due to the fact that the race took a TV time slot previously allocated to an NAGT race. NAGT rules mandate that each race is 45 minutes long (the series does not use lap distances), whereas most TM Master Cup series races run anywhere from 70 to 120 minutes.

Divina Henton will drive for Lynxe Racing in 2013.
