New management
From 2012 onward, Trans-Am Race Company, LLC, has managed the series.[1] They will manage the series until at least 2016. They are looking to "bring the series back to its glory years".[2] Their plan is to get away from the new, three-class format and return to the pony cars that made the series famous.
The series also established a media partner, GoRacingTV. Select markets would also be able to view Trans Am races on MAVTV. GoRacingTV was a website providing highlights of various racing events.
