Turner? Turner hasnt been in World Challenge for a few years now. except last year when they ran Lucho De Castro's old car at Lime Rock to basically advertise it. It was bittersweet to see that car race.

Its not just the traveling costs. World Challenge touring has advanced beyond the means of privateer teams. These cars are costing 150k - 200K to re-create. The reason Grand am is so popular is because you get a lot more racing for the price.
The Rules in World Challenge are changing to make the cars cheaper to build and run. that means stock suspension points, no sequentials and a lot more restrictions on engines. So lets hope there will be more cars in the future. I would really hate to see WCTC die off. One of my favorites of all times.

BTW, Congrats to Seth Thomas on the win at Petit. A local guy.
