The 2012 Pirelli World Challenge season was the 23rd running of the Sports Car Club of America 's World Challenge series. All races were televised by NBC Sports Network . All telecasts were tape-delayed, with all races being streamed live.[1]
Format change [ edit ]
The series began using a four class format. A new "touring car B-spec" class was introduced, similar to the SCCA's amateur divisions, using vehicles such as the Fiat 500 , Chevrolet Sonic , Ford Fiesta , Honda Fit , Kia Rio , Mazda 2 , and Nissan Versa .[2] [3] The new class debuted at the event at Miller.
Schedule [ edit ]
Four rounds were announced November 11, 2011,[4] with an additional three rounds announced November 18,[5] and the round at St. Petersburg announced January 4.[6] A second Touring Car race was later added to the Mid-Ohio round. The GT and GTS classes had 12 races, Touring Car had 14, and Touring Car B-Spec had 9.
