6/16/2005 - RACER Confirms SPEED GT Most Competitive Road Racing in the World
TOPEKA, Kan. (June 16, 2005) - SCCA Pro Racing's SPEED World Challenge GT Championship was named the most competitive road racing series in the world by RACER magazine in the current, August 2005 issue, available on newsstands now.
"Close, Closer, Closest," the article written by Andrew Crask, judged professional racing series on a number of statistical criteria, including: Ratio of total races to number of race winners, Average number of starters, Average mph difference of starting grids, Average percent of starters on lead lap at finish and Average race margin of victory.
The article featured the top five series overall, of which SCCA SPEED GT ranked second in the world behind the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Behind CTS and SPEED GT were the German Touring Car Championship (DTM), IRL IndyCar Series and NASCAR Nextel Cup.
"This is a tremendous compliment to the level of competition SPEED World Challenge has attracted in both GT and Touring Car," SCCA Pro Racing President Steve Johnson said. "Additionally, SCCA SPEED GT is the only series in this list that does not include cars that share a common formula. This speaks volumes about the hard work that the SCCA Pro Racing staff has done, which is often a thankless and unpopular role in the paddock."
SCCA SPEED GT and SPEED Touring Car both return to action June 24-26 at the Champ Car Grand Prix of Cleveland for Round Five of their 2005 Championships. For complete information, please visit www.world-challenge.com.
