The Pirelli World Challenge may not have made the headlines so for that the new for 2014 TUSCC has managed but the Series has gathered considerable momentum with its confirmation that full FIA homologated GT3 machinery are eligible for the premier GT (and amateur driver GT-A) class.

An impressive 48 car field has already been announced for the season opener at St Pete with 36 of the 40 car maximum grid already confirmed for the streets of Long Beach where the Series will stage a single race (the remaining meetings all feature double headers).

Not currently on the Long Beach entry are the two car Reiter Engineering entered team of Lamborghini Gallardo FL2s for Albert von Turn und Taxis and the returning Tomas Enge.

Nick Esayian, Jorge De La Torre and Drew Regitz are confirmed to drive three of the quartet of TRG-AMR Aston Martin Vantage GT4 cars in the GTS class. The fourth Vantage GT4 will be a “house” car open to selected drivers at each event.
