NASA Introduces New Endurance Series With No Comp License Required
Image
The Team Racing Endurance Challenge (TREC) is a new NASA enduro series that offers track time to drivers without an official competition license.
The new series is said to be a definite departure from typical NASA competition with “a heavy emphasis on fun above all else.”
Anyone with a driver’s license can participate in a TREC race, including minors who race with NASA. Cars are classed using a combination of time brackets and base classing listed in the TREC rules, and all vehicles compete on tires marked with tread wear 180 or higher by the manufacturer.
“NASA’s High Performance Driving Events have introduced thousands of people to the joys of driving their cars on track,” said NASA Vice President Jeremy Croiset. “Now, with our new TREC series, drivers with little to no experience can get in on the fun of wheel-to-wheel endurance racing with a professional sanctioning body like NASA. This new program establishes a new pathway for people to attain a NASA Competition license.”
Drivers who complete four TREC events may apply for a TREC license qualifying them to participate in the fastest TREC class. Anyone with previous racing experience may apply for a TREC license. Those who hold a TREC license and complete six TREC events will be eligible to apply for a full NASA competition license.
TREC events will be offered in various NASA regions in the latter half of 2019 with many additional events coming online for the 2020 season.
