It has been a fun 3 Seasons for CTS and as 2019 approaches, CTS4 will be the most exciting season yet! 

The new platform will be an Exhibition Series with no points chase and is happening across the USA. 12th Scale and Pro 10 will be an addition to the series due to the popular demand in pan car. The Spec Tire for TC will be ELEXIS while USGT uses Gravity mesh wheel radial tires and F1 with Pan Cars are open tire. 

There is also a new racing format which entails 1 seeding round and 3 qualifiers using IFMAR qualifying with rocket round on Saturday. On Sunday, racers that make the A-Main will have three chances to win a trophy for the exhibition round including the top Qualifier.  The vision for this season is to bring the platform across the country versus racing only in California.  This breeds more RC racing and will grow the hobby.
