2018 AmeriCar Championship Road Racing Series season

The 2018 NSCC Hanmore AmeriCar Championship Road Racing Series season is the upcoming season of the AmeriCar Championship Road Racing Series, main professional road racing tour in America, sanctioned by the National Sports Car Club.

The season also scraps the previous multi-clasS format, used until 2017, with all cars being adapted to the NSCC GT-1 specifications. however, the bodies used will be the same as previous years.

The cars will be powered by overhead valve (two per cylinder), pushrod, naturally aspirated, carburated 358 cubic inch (5.86 L) V8 engines, producing 850 horsepower. The minimum base weight (including driver and driver gear) for all cars is 2,780 pounds. Fuel cell capacity is 33 U.S. gallons. The series will allow the use of leaded gasoline.

Manufacturers will also have limitations as to how many cars they'll be able to have full-time, as each of the four constructors will only be allowed to field 9 full-time cars.

Calendar
12 of the 16 events will take place in the United States, while three will be happening and Canada, and Mexico will hold its first AmeriCar race. Only four of the 16 races will be held on temporary street/airport courses, the rest will be on permanent facilities.

Most races will be around 100 miles long, except for the AmeriCar Finals, which will slightly over 150 miles long instead.
