Yes, I put this in "Current NASCAR," but nothing else fit. Nevertheless, this is STOCK CAR RacersReunion, and I am talking about stock cars (sort of)! This is a lot, so read carefully :D
My first part is on the fantastic Pirelli World Challenge series. I'll start with the basics.
PWC is a multi-tier series that splits cars based on performance spec- GT, GTS, and TC- to run separate races over the course a weekend. There are typically 2-3 races in a weekend with races. It's road course racing, but with that beatin' and bangin' we all love. It's not sissified (although they do get the occasional female driver). Unfortunately, the series loves to micromanage these, resulting in a laundry list of penalties every Monday.
GT: The series prize pet. This series features swanky European sports cars: Ferrari, Bentley, McLaren, Nissan, Cadillac, and others battle it out in this class. This is the class the promoters love. This is the only one they even put the effort to get sponsors for: even the pace car is sponsored. This is the class with a TV deal. These cars are FIA GT3 spec: aka full stock cars with roll cages, spec tires, and ugly wings attached. 
GM paid lots of money to get the regulations written so that the Cadillac would be eligible, but for this:
At least it's not the Bentley.
The GTS class is the one most RR members would be interested in: Camaro and Mustang battling Kia, Porsche, and others. This is also the most aesthetically appealing. Unfortunately, it has a tendency to have quiet races; it has the least bang for your buck; and it tends to get the most strung out.
Last but not least is my favorite, the TC class, which has multiple breakdowns: TC and TCB. Unfortunately, this is the step-child of the series in spite of having the best racing. The series won't even provide cameras when this class is running alone.
In TC, you have the faster cars like Porsche, Mazda, and VW. The only minus is that this class is devoid of American cars. But they put on a show every time.
My favorite is the TCB class. These are the smallest, slowest cars. Chevy Sonic, Mini Cooper, Ford Fiesta, and Honda Fit battle it out in the battle of the slugs. They push, nudge, and occasionally slam.
Unfortunately, guess who Florida Tech hired to drive the IHRA dragster they sponsor: Shea Holbrook!
There is also the Continental Tire Sportscar Challenge (CTSC), which is pretty much the PWC GTS and TC classes running together. The only difference is that CTSC runs endurance races with pit stops, but it looks the same otherwise.
For starters, I'd recommend the PWC as all their races are timed (40-50 minutes) and have better announcing. There are no pit stops in PWC either. Both have live streaming on the web for free.
