Ah, wait, are we/I mixing up Chevron and Reiter/Sareni's Camaro? Neither of which will be there.

Some points of interest from todays preliminary 2015 entry list.
Dyson Racing returns to traditional #16 and #20!

R.Ferri has two GTpro entries listed, also the Lone star Viper is listed, as well as a Roberts Racing Viper. (old Viper?) plus an extra GT-A Porsche from Autometrics.

Lots of GTS class entries too.

Also, Flying Lizards have Robert Thorne in the #45 at Daytona. Half of the World Challenge lineup for Lizards/KPax?

He posted on Twitter about doing some Off-Road Truck racing, but I don't know if that is in addition to or instead of Sports Cars.

Would be awesome if Figge and Thorne returned. (No offense meant to any of Flying Lizard's drivers)

Wow, I like it. Gonna be cool to see it at Road America.

Coach Ep · 15 Jan 2015, 16:26 (Ref:3493090)

why does PWC have such a variety of Touring Car classes? 2 seem more than enough to me.

Not sure I like it. Aero packages seems very understated, looks almost like a rallye car...

There's a considerable difference in power between TC, TCA and TCB, so it actually makes some sense, though they should consider scraping permanently undersubscribed classes...

Quote:

Touring Car (TC): The allowed body styles in this class are 2 seat roadsters, coupes, hatchbacks, wagons, sedans. Power output up to 300 hp. Weight varies depending on the power output of the individual drivetrain configurations. Front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive configurations are permitted. Forced induction may be allowed on cars that have forced induction systems available from the manufacturer which do not void the factory warranties.

Touring Car A (TCA): Touring Car A is an evolution of the current TC class specifications. It is developed to minimize the build cost of the TC platform. The class will have an emphasis on maintaining cost effectiveness while providing an easy avenue to entry into professional racing. Performance modifications will be limited to mainly chassis tuning. Front wheel and rear wheel drive configurations are permitted. Target power output is up to 220 hp from non-modified stock engines. Forced induction maybe allowed on cars that have forced induction systems available from the manufacturer as a stock engine option.

Touring Car B-Spec (TCB): These are smaller cars with small, efficient, naturally aspirated motors. Power output up to 125 hp. Modifications are limited to manufacturer specified performance spring and shocks to keep overall cost down. The only modifications allowed are pre-approved suspension kits, other than that no mods of any sort.

I think because they are really trying to build up a ladder system and have a place for teams and drivers of all skill levels and financial capacity to race.

Cool livery design contest for the MOMO World Challenge entry.

Your chance to re-imagine an ICONIC race livery! MOMO Motorsport is on the hunt for a new, inspiring design for its 2015 Ferrari 458 GT3, which will be racing in the Pirelli World-Challenge. Get creative, produce a new MOMO livery design and you could be jetting off to the season’s first race at the Circuit of Americas in Austin, Texas, USA.

So the NGT car will be a Ferrari!
That could look really cool in MOMO colors.

Mechanic Z · 18 Jan 2015, 18:29 (Ref:3493884)

From Daily Sportscar, sounds like Thorne will be driving one of the K-Pax/Lizard McLarens.

Quote:

Heading into World Challenge competition, it is known that Robert Thorne will be driving one of the two new McLaren 650S cars that are on hand, while a third car will be available, an older 12C GT3 that will be upgraded to full 650S specifications. While it hasn’t been announced, Darren did indicate that one of the new cars will be driven by a factory McLaren driver, giving some indication of the serious nature of this program.

Factory McLaren driver for the other car could be interesting.

Maybe they'll put Kevin Magnussen in it, since the Lizards and his dad have such a *cough* famous history.

That's very interesting, given that they'd previously said Porsche.
Will look good on a Ferrari, though.

Any teams linked to this beast yet?

I hope this is a sneak peek of 2016. That car at that track some time in mid-March.
