^ what is the name of the races that these cars do and also does anyone know how i can get started racing this way

 

SCCA, road racing, it's pretty sick, esp when they race in the rain and all

 

^^ditto, the SCCA can get you to that level. I also believe they call it Touring Car racing.

no i understand they arnt regular cars but iam saying they arnt like f1 cars or (god forbid) nascar. so let me get this streight real quick and thank you very much for the help but this is called SCCA Touring car racing?

FIA GT Championship
British Touring Car Championship
Speed GT Championship (the one your looking for)

 

i wonder why there's an arrow pointing to the tow hook....

are they expecting to be towed?

 

GT class cars in one of a few different series.

My uncle has a daytona prototype and races in the GrandAm series. Some GT1 cars are in there as well.

Me in the car, about to drive it up to the alignment rack


Our neighbors, a BMW Z4



And the red arrows are safety requirements. They're used every race anyway to pull the cars into the trailers (the trailers have winches) and there's very little room to open the doors.... . so either they climb out the window after winching or walk on the side of the car manipulating the wheel while it's getting pulled in.

 

Glad you're curious. This is known generall as "sedan" or "production car" road racing. What you are looking at specifically are World Challenge cars. In the foreground is a GT class CTS, and in the background is a TC class TSX.

Other questions?
