It is a platform that works not only for elite marques such as Audi, Porsche, General Motors, Panoz, Acura and Mazda but also for manufacturers and product suppliers such as Michelin, Kumho, Yokohama, Shell, EPIC and VP Racing Fuels.

The Series also bucks the trend in today’s motorsports world of “spec” competition that discourages innovations relevant to developing future technologies.
