Long Family Autosport to Join AC-2

Long Family Autosport has set a foothold in the ranks of AmeriCar and will look to bring more success to the underdog operation. Today, Long Family Autosport will look to join AC-2 ranks instead of going to AC-1 which was expected by many to happen.

"Dima, Ryan, and myself felt that the best option to go with was the cars in the AC-2 class instead of AC-1" co-owner Tony Long said. "Even though our financing was there for the possibility of 2 AC-1 cars, we decided to be safe and go with the AC-2 cars."

"This is not due to competition," Ryan Long stated. "Even though we were competitive with the top teams, our campaign in NAAC went a little over budget than we had hoped. The move to AC-2 is precautionary for 2019 because we have bigger plans for 2020 and future years."

The plan for the team is to use the AmeriCar team as a development team for the NAAC Launch Energy Series team. Rumors are running in the paddock that Dima van Hall will move up to the NAAC team by 2020 unless the sponsorship deal the team has planned falls through.

The Long brothers nor van Hall commented on whether or not the rumors on van Hall going to the NAAC team for 2020 is true even though the team has stated that there is a possibility of it happening.

Laser Motorsports Moves from FARC to AmeriCar AC-2

Canadian sports car team Laser Motorsports announced they will be returning to their roots after an unsuccessful FARC Lowe Dollar Series venture, joining AmeriCar's AC2 class for 2019. Team owner Ted Johnson stated that the compatibility of the team's current FARC chassis with AC-2 regulations influenced the decision, and that the team will continue fielding their standard #91. Manufacturer and driver choices will be announced at a later date, but the team's current drivers, former FARC race winner Bill Tissom and Dash Cup refugee Noemi Giordano, are not expected to return.

Long Beach Autosport announces plans - expands to two cars in AC-1

Family-owned operation Long Beach Autosport will expand to two cars in the revamped AmeriCar series in 2019. Natasha Pierce will continue to drive the #460 Yang Microsystems/Todd Bank Lenard, but she will be joined by a second part-time entry. The #640 car will be driven by 18-year-old British karting ace Jake Gilliam following his breakthrough debut season in the British Karting Championship. Gilliam will be sponsored by Slam Dunk Sporting Goods and Z1 Energy Drink. It is expected that Gilliam will contest up to 6 events this season in preparation for a full-time effort in 2020.

Maxwell Engineering soldiers on in AC-2

Long-time race outfit Maxwell Engineering announced today that they will be joining the AC-2 class for the 2019 AmeriCar season after debuting in the series last year. The announcement came as a relief to staff as their had been rumours that the team was experiencing financial issues, however that appears to be solved as the team has found on a new driver and sponsorship package. It was revealed that driver Rylan Lott had been let go at the end of 2018 in favour of 20-year-old Kalysta Blackburn, an up-and-coming stock car racer who brings much needed sponsorship from her family's Blackburn Tires business to the #619 Saar.

"We're excited for a new opportunity, and with my family behind me, I know I can keep improving." said the younger Garrison, 23, at today's press conference.

Journeyman Scott O'Leary announces a move down to AC-4
Part-time Oregon racer and frequent political candidate Scott O'Leary announced he will be scaling back his racing operation this year to focus on races for state senate, circuit court judge, Jackson County commissioner and Medford school board. Because of this, he's dropped down to a lower series to allocate more funds for his personal campaign. Reason Magazine returns as the sponsor on his Lenard.

Indira Patel has retired from racing for the time being to start a family, and Isabella Gonzalez has returned to racing Mexican stock cars as she plots her next career move.

Laser Motorsports officially on AC-2 grid, looking for driver
Canada's Laser Motorsports team officially confirmed that they will join the AmeriCar AC-2 grid, aiming to run the full schedule. The team still has yet to confirm a driver of their renumbered #61 Lenard, however, and owner Ted Johnson has reportedly made classified postings on DiscountRaceParts.com offering opportunities to any interested road racer, with preference given to those with "additional monetary support".

Kronenberg SuperSport Report

Lukas Kronenberg spent his 2018 racing season doing 2 things: driving inconsistently and refining his English. The notoriously quiet Austrian flashed in equal parts speed, incompetence, and perhaps a bit more than the former, mediocrity.

With the move to split class competition, team boss, father of the driver, and himself a former racer Jakob Kronenberg has thrown around the idea of competing himself. Despite the several smash ups Lukas found himself in, the hard work of the team engineers and the financial backing of imMobile, the team still has a fleet of AC-1 capable cars.

Jakob has stated he would be happy to fill out the field at any division, he's apparently got the racing itch again in his late 50s.

The team also asked me to report clearly that no plans have been confirmed yet.

Okay, now that I've actually gotten enough free time to work on the series, it' time to introduce a change:

In order to make things easier for me in the longer run, I've decided to change the ratings system in AmeriCar to a class based system. This way I can actually just throw the cars in game more easily, as I do not have as much free time as I once had.

It'll work as such:

Driver Classes will be the same across all three series, but drivers will be assigned accordingly (while AC1 and AC2 drivers can be assigned to any classes between A and C, AC3 drivers can only be assigned to classes C and D, and all drivers in AC4 will be slotted under Class D.

Class S is exclusive to drivers that are contesting the series in companion events only, the class is slightly better when compared to both Classes A and B, but it is also slightly more inconsistent, keeping a balance across all drivers.

2020 AmeriCar Championship Road Racing Series - Page 3 Driver11

ratings assignments (per class):

Team ratings class assignments will be same in a car class, regardless of the previous performance or history of the team. Each class of racing will have their own points assignments, used for all cars, no exception.

If you are signing up, here's a small heads up.

Foreign drivers are a minority. This is a North American Sports Car Series, which means, obviously, that most drivers and teams will be American and Canadian. If you enter a foreigner overkill, I won't approve it, period.

I have now closed signups for AmeriCar, finished the entry lists and have added the Ratings listings to the following link: http://bit.ly/2GtiYef

One thing that I will add before I make the templates available for the 2020 season is Driver Pictures.

There are a few guidelines to be followed:

* They will not be mandatory.
* Driver pictures should be generated through Generated Photos or This Person Does Not Exist. I'd rather you use those services or use realistic looking images as that's the stylistic choice I am going for.
*You can also use the pictures I made available through this "catalog" Acessible Here!

If you have a generated or chosen picture, just send me through either a Discord message or through a Private Message in Here. I'll make a list of driver pictures picked/sent to me as I receive them.
