nasajerry Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 New C-Class Series to Compete In Seven Races Within Existing Western Endurance Racing Championship, With Plans To Expand To East Coast Venues in Future The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) has announced a partnership to sanction a new C-Class sportsracer series – the North American Modern Endurance Challenge (NAMEC) – that will begin competition in April 2007 as a specific class as part of NASA’s existing Western Endurance Racing Championship series on the West Coast. NAMEC plans to expand into the Central and Eastern regions of the USA in the future. The Series was coordinated by members of the International Sports Car Manufacturers Association. The North American Modern Endurance Challenge is open to C-Class sportscar prototypes meeting FIA-CN and C3 specifications and standards. The NAMEC Series will compete under the same rules and regulations as the successful Van de Vyver (V de V) Modern Endurance Challenge in Europe, and has received approval from the V de V to establish a North American series that will be operated in association with V de V to expand this racing formula outside of Europe. Constructors currently eligible for the NAMEC Series include: - Radical - Chiron - ADR - EMA - Ligier - Juno - Norma - CvO - Merlin - Funyo - Fior - Lucchini - Panhard Other constructors can be homologated based on meeting FIA and NAMEC specifications. The NAMEC schedule will feature six races for the championship, including the revived “12 Hours of Thunderhill†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtm68 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I don't much feel like debating it, but my two cents: Sportsracers mixed in with sedans is bad news. I love sportsracers, I hope the series is successful, but this is asking for trouble. Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tims Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 sports racers have been running in the enduros since the begining. They tend to be quick enough and agile enough to negotiate around the big sedans. be consistant and run the racing line and they will make there way past and they will do the same for you. I hope the series is successful since I always wanted an excuse to build a sportsracer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
