SCCA Pro Racing is the pro racing division of the Sports Car Club of America. SCCA Pro Racing was formed in 1963, the company is a fully owned subsidiary of SCCA.
Since the beginning in 1963 SCCA Pro Racing sanctioned various championships of sports cars, GT's, touring cars, formula cars and rally races.
The SCCA World Challenge saw life as the Escort Endurance Championship in 1986. Between 1986 and 1989 the series consisted of a number of endurance races. As of 1990 the renamed World Challenge consisted of semi-endurance races. The series now uses a sprint-race format with a standing start. In 2014, GT3-classed cars were brought in as part of the top class of racing. For 2017 PWC will be sanctioned by USAC.
SCCA Pro Racing sanctioned Trans-Am between its inception in 1966 and its initial folding in 2006. The series was revived in 2009 allowing SCCA GT1 cars to race in a national series. Since 2012, SCCA GT1, GT2, and GT3 cars are allowed in the series.
Following the popular Spec Miata club racing class, SCCA Pro Racing started a pro series. The Battery Tender Global Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires was started in 2003. It was first split into a Pacific Tour and an Atlantic Tour. Nowadays it runs an MX-5 Cup and a Skip Barber Challenge. In 2017, SCCA Pro Racing will stop sanctioning the series.
The United States Formula 4 Championship is an auto racing series held under FIA Formula 4 regulations. The championship is designed to support North American drivers enter international open-wheel racing, by using the same regulations used by other series globally, rather than compete with existing Road to Indy ladder, with the drivers earning points towards an FIA Superlicence. It will serve as an initial step into car racing for drivers graduating from karting.
With the disappearance of the U.S. F2000 National Championship in 2006, Formula Race Promotions launched the F2000 Championship Series. This series was more focused on the amateur Formula Continental drivers.
As of 2011 SCCA Pro Racing sanctions the F1600 Championship Series. This is a Formula Ford based race class that allows the Honda Fit engine alongside the Ford Kent engine.
