• CMS Historic Trans-Am Series - Starts Jan 14th!



    CMS Presents: Historic Trans-Am Series An 8 race series featuring cars from the golden era of Trans-Am racing. Big blocks and close racing is on display in this car and mod limited series. This series aims to replicate the Trans-Am Series as it was in it's early years, with modified versions of street cars at classic american tracks. There are many cars that fit into the Trans-Am theme in Forza and Mark Bell has done an excellent job at balancing these cars so they retain their vintage feel, while being closely matched in performance.
