In 2012, the Pirelli World Challenge Championship kicked off its twenty-third consecutive season at St. Petersburg, Florida,
as a support event for the IndyCar series. The season ended in late-August at Sonoma Raceway.
In between these two weekends, there were races held at Long Beach, Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, Miller Motorsports Park,
Detroit, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
The series biggest news was the introduction of a fourth category called ‘Touring Car B-Spec.’ This was not a renaming or realignment of an existing class but a new group with new cars. The four 2012 Pirelli World Challenge series divisions are:
GT and GTS classes are combined to race in 50-minute timed events. The TCB cars run two 25-minute races with a 15-minute break in between to allow crews to make minor adjustments. The following day there is a longer 40-minute race. Rounds 12, 13 and 14 at Sonoma Raceway’s twelve turn road course would mark the season finale for the World Challenge Touring Cars. |
