2021 TC America Series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2021 TC America Series Powered by Skip Barber Racing School was the third season of the TC America Series. The season began on 5 March at Sonoma Raceway and ended on 17 October at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

In a change from the 2020 series, the TCR class, already racing in several other North American series, left TC America. It was replaced by the one-make TCX class based on the BMW M2 CS Racing Cup that races as part of the Nürburgring Endurance Series.

The final calendar was announced on 3 October 2020, featuring seven rounds.[1] The round at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park was later canceled.[2] In June, Sebring International Raceway was announced as the CTMP round's replacement.[3]
