WRR TV: Why Even Pro Drivers Are Running ChumpCar

You may have noticed that more and more drivers and mechanics from top Spec Miata and pro teams are getting a little ChumpCar racing in on the side. There are plenty of reasons, but near the top of the list is the chance to run endurance events at relatively low cost and the chance to do it with your friends, not all of whom may be top flight drivers or capable of top flight budgets.

The other thing, though, that is great about ChumpCar is the chance to practice passing with fairly big closing speed differences and unknown drivers. This is something you have to do in IMSA and Continental Sports Car Challenge, among others and it is great practice. Winding Road Team TFB test driver Will Faules shows what we're talking about in this short clip from ChumpCar at Circuit of the Americas.
