2007 TM Master Cup season

The 2007 TM Master Cup season was a 14-race schedule, and will most be remembered for the death of Steve Marshall in the qualifying race for the Round of Alabama.

Due to limited space in the paddock, the Round of Russia was contested as a double-header race, with the drivers holding the top 21 fastest qualifying laps contesting for the race win, while 22nd-42nd raced for the bottom half of the finishing order.

Trivia

 * This is the only season of the TM Master Cup Series where the numbers of the Haas Manufacturing, Kleffer Media, and The Shafer Group cars did not add up to 73. Those three sponsors are artifacts from Cynon's old RPG project Name 73, which itself appeared on a TM Master Cup Series car.
