Happen to be a big fan until these last few months. No more Cadillac, no more Mid Ohio, no Sonoma, 10 races for next season, oh and no Johnny O'Connell....any body else care?

Not really. That's why I'm going to 2 IMSA races next year. WC has some issues right now and the only guy I even care about there is Eversley. That is more because of dinner with racers though.

I loved it back when it was Speed world challenge and I could watch every race effortlessly. And it was terrific racing. But I haven't paid any attention to the series since Speed stopped being a thing.

I remember trying to keep up with it even in the lean years and really just didn't have the right cable TV package to see it. My friend said it got good again in the past few years. I tried watching one race while at a hotel on a work trip and the coverage was not that good. Still ignoring the production quality of the show the racing seems good. 

 

I think as of last year I finally get the channel. I may start watching the 2018 season. The track line up looks good to me.

Another former die hard watcher here.  Other than the clips on youtube, I haven't watched a full race in years.  

 

Was such a fan back in the day, I bought an Integra, then a B5 A4 wishing is was the S4.  Any hints on watching or finding the last season would be appreciated.

Their Youtube channel has past races.  And the Callaway GT3 Corvette will be running next year, possibly with O’Connell at the wheel.

Am really looking forward to the Callaway C7. And Lawson Aschenbach is the real deal of a driver if you’re looking for a new team to take notice of. The current field has a broad manufacturer mix and must have the BOP pretty well sorted out, you’d be surprised how many cars can mount competitive challenges for the front of the field. Sure, I prefer GT or mixed field events to the Touring car races.  The series is still worth watching for the closest thing to the old showroom stock days on Speed.

The Callaway is a welcomed addition, but not sure of the corporate decision to axe the ATSV-R.......and where will those eventually resurface...if at all? Drivers ......Johnny O, Lawson, Michael, would be my choices for the C7R-GT3, but I'm not the Team principal.
