Championship Overview

The 2019 Hanmore AmeriCar Championship Road Racing Series season is the current season of AmeriCar competition, the main professional road racing tour in America, sanctioned by the National Sports Car Club.

The main change from 2018 is the reintrocution of multi-class racing, however with crucial changes, as two classes get added to the tour, with AC-1, AC-2, AC-3 and AC-4 categories being contested, with each having its own race and championship. Each category has a 75-mile race, adding up to 300 total miles of competition in a joint weekend. Multiple events will be companion races to other, larger touring series, as is the norm for AmeriCar racing.

Classes Overview[edit | edit source]

AC-1: The main class is comprised by high performance race cars, veterans of the series regularly flock to this category, powered by 358 cubic inch, V8 engines that can achieve up to 900 horsepower on track. It's the most expensive tour, featuring less teams than in AC-2 and AC-3.

AC-2: The most popular class in AmeriCar, AC-2 is comprised of cost-effective muscle cars, using engines similar to the ones in AC-1, albeit restricted to only 500HP, in order to level the field of competition. The second cheapest class to contest, it regularly features 24+ car fields.

AC-3: Formerly the NSCC Production Car Challenge's top class, the Sport production car class, AC-3 is the second most cost effective series among AmeriCar, regularly contested by rookies , seeking their big break. It's also the series with the most foreign manufacturer representation, with British, Japanese, and Central European manufacturers battling against traditional American brands.

AC-4: The NSCC's Production Car Challenge stock class, this production car class is the cheapest within AmeriCar, it is contest by street cars with standard safety measures, hotly contested by hobby drivers. It's akin to Hornet Racing on road courses, attracting NSCC-registered drivers that don't have the money or the means to be in the top brass but want a taste of racing emotion nonetheless. The full-time fields is small, but the grid is filled with local drivers.
