MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship

The MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship (MPTCC) presented by Motul is a production car based wheel to wheel racing series with a rule set designed to allow the use of many common and readily available modifications found in the aftermarket tuner market. The basis of the classes and costs will be managed by power to weight ratios rather than a restrictive set of rules. This will allow a fan pleasing diversity of competitive cars much like those found in popular time attack competitions.

MPTCC Event Coverage

		MPTCC Round 2: Willow Springs Raceway Only two races into the 2013 MPTCC season and we already have a close battle for championship positions. No doubt Edik Stepanyan had a solid grasp on first place, but there was a fight for third place going on.
		MPTCC Round 1: Autoclub Speedway It wasn't hot anywhere except Autoclub Speedway where the MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship presented by Motul was kicking off the 2013 Season. Would we see a repeat performance by Edik Stepanyan or would 2012 Champion Michele Abbate pull ahead this time?
		Sneak Peak: The APM Racing Scion FR-S We are so accustomed to insane race car builds that we tend to think racing is not an attainable goal. Enter the APM Racing Scion FR-S. Coming off its first running of the 25 Hours of Thunderhill, we're reminded of what a race car really should be - simple, reliable, and easy to drive.
		Sneak Peak: Mazdatrix Tuner Over Mazda RX8 While older rotary heads may better know Dave Lemon for his E-Production RX-7 Convertible, newer fans better recognize the blue Mazdatrix monster RX8. While it started life as a street car, the life of Mazdatrix's RX-8 has always been a development car. We take a closer look at Mazdatrix's primary test mule.
		MPTCC Round 4: Buttonwillow Raceway After a season of controversy, action and excitement, it's come down to the final race of the season to determine who takes the Big Trophy for the 2012 MPTCC Tuner Under Championship. Will it be NASA Rookie Michele Abbate in the heavy hitting Gruppe-S tC or Edik Stepanyan in the hard charging Acura Integra?
		MPTCC Round 3: Sonoma Raceway With round 3 in the books, who would have known how this race would have ended. Well, not really how it ended, but what occurred in the pits. Finger pointing and accusations abound in the MPTCC! Who could have seen this coming? What happened to this being a simple series?
		Sneak Peak: Michele Abbate's Scion TC What do you get with a tenacious young driver and a well built car? You get Michele Abbate and the Gruppe-S 2012 Scion tC! We dive in, head first in this heavy-weight car and will also show you why it's actually more attainable than at first blush!
		Sneak Peak: Edik Stepanyan's DA Acura Integra It's running away from you, that little, old DA Acura Integra. It's got to be cheating, there is no way your car, with a bigger engine and the same power to weight ratio is losing! Or is there? We take you into the machine that has nearly dominated both rounds of the MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship.
		MPTCC Round 2 - Autoclub Speedway Based on what we know at Round 1 from Buttonwillow Raceway, the MPTCC Cars are fast! Now we enter Round 2 at one of the fastest circuits in the MPTCC, Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.
		MPTCC & GTA Round 1 - Buttonwillow The MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship kicks off its 2012 season alongside GTA and the good folks at NASA. Buttonwillow would be the track and our racers would be running alongside a packed field of cars!
		Yoshihara and Bonanni Win MPTCC TU & TO Classes Fresh off his 2011 Formula Drift Championship, Dai Yoshihara proved that he can drive grip as well as he can drift by clinching the MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship TU class at the first inaugural North American Festival of Speed at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
		Stepanyan Stomps TU - MPTCC Round 4 - Willow Springs Edik Stepanyan who normally runs NASA’s H2 class won both rounds of the MPTCC Liberty Grand Prix on July 2-3. Edik, driving the #78 Acura Integra, won the first round on Saturday after an exciting battle with another NASA star, Andy Hope in the #62 Honda CRX.
		Bonanni and Yoshihara win MPTCC Round 3 - Autoclub Speedway Bonanni won the Tuner Over class which had a light field thinned by the attrition of three entrants in qualifying and practice. Current Formula D points leader Dai Yoshihara lead every lap of the Tuner Under race in the Team MotoIQ Nissan Sentra.
		Time Attack and MPTCC Round 2 - Firebird Raceway We make our way down to Firebird International Raceway for Round 2 of the MPTCC, Circuit Battles, Pro Time Attack and Lotus Cup Races.
		Bonnani and Yoshihara Victorious in Inaugural MPTCC Round 1 - Willow Springs Berk Technology's Mike Bonanni and Formula D ace Dai Yoshihara, driving for Spoon Sport, were victorious in MotoIQ's inaugural MPTCC race!
