NASA is pleased to introduce the new Performance Touring (PT) race group which will replace the existing Pro Sedan classes. PT will class nearly every closed wheel race car imaginable using a points scheme based on NASA’s Time Trial program. Cars are assigned a base class and then receive upgrade points for the modifications done to the vehicle. The car then moves up to faster classes based on how many modification points are accrued. The unique PT classing system will allow close competition between cars purpose built for PT and cars prepared to other series’ rules as well. PT also includes a Super Unlimited class which requires only that the car complies with NASA safety rules, but otherwise has no limits placed on modifications. PT will be a featured class at NASA’s National Championship event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in September.
“It’s awesome to see the Time Trial classification rules applied to a new racing series,” said Greg Greenbaum, NASA National Time Trial and Performance Touring Director. “This solves the problem of finding a home for the many different cars that want to come join us and it provides our Time Trial drivers with an easily accessible pathway into racing using their time trial car with added safety equipment and a classing system they are already familiar with.”
Rules and Car Classification forms for this exciting new class can be found at online and an online car classifier will be added soon to assist drivers in classifying their vehicles.
Inquires regarding NASA Performance Touring can be sent to Greg Greenbaum.
