Contents

The 2023 TC America Series Powered by Skip Barber Racing School is the fifth season of the TC America Series. The season began at Sonoma on March 30, and will end at Indianapolis on October 8.

Calendar

The preliminary calendar was released on July 29, 2022, featuring 14 races across seven rounds. [1] In September, an updated schedule was released, postponing the event at Circuit of the Americas by two weeks and bringing the Road America round forward one week. [2] An additional change was announced on October 17, moving the NOLA round from February 24–26 to April 28–30 to alleviate a clash with the Kyalami 9 Hours, as well as allowing the 2023 BoP test to be completed before the start of the season.
