NASA Announces New Endurance Racing Class Rules

Building on the success of its updated Super Touring rules structure, the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) has announced that it will also adopt Super Touring rules for its endurance racing series across the country.

That announcement means that the new endurance class rules will apply to the Western Endurance Racing Challenge series and will also be eligible for NASA’s new Team Racing Endurance Challenge that debuted in 2018.

Along with the news, NASA announced the creation of a subset of the E3 class called E3S. The “S” stands for spec and will include NASA’s most popular spec classes, Spec Miata, Spec E30 and 944 Spec.

“The new class rules provide a clear long-term strategy for our enduro classes to grow and offer greater levels of competition and parity as we expand our enduro program around the country with the new TREC series,” NASA Vice President Jeremy Croiset said. “We’ve adopted our ST rules because they are the fastest growing classes in NASA, and they include virtually all makes and models of cars allowing practically any competition vehicle to race with us—in sprints and enduros.”

The change to a single rule set ensures NASA competitors will enjoy far better class parity while also allowing for NASA to conduct more thorough technical compliance should the need arise, according to the series.
