#TransAm: Tomy Drissi Scores Third Podium of 2025 Trans Am Season at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
- Tomy Drissi finished third overall in Trans Am’s return to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
- The finish marked Drissi’s third podium of 2025, joining podiums at Sonoma and Lime Rock Park
- Drissi now holds third place in the TA championship by 25 points with just three races remaining
2009 Trans Am champion Tomy Drissi returned to the TA podium in Saturday’s race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, scoring third place in the series’ only trip north of the border this season. Drissi and the #8 Trench Shoring Company/Motul/Franklin Road Apparel Chevrolet Camaro finished third in the 41-lap feature, cutting through not only the usual GT class traffic, but also the TA2 class in their only combined race of the season.
Drissi settled into fourth off the green flag, but he took over third early on as high early attrition caused both the TA and TA2 class leaders to pit. He’d stay in that spot through most of the race before getting another shot at the leaders thanks to a late restart. A slow restart for the top two cars allowed Drissi and Chris Dyson to get past them both; unfortunately, a penalty was called that forced them to take drive-through penalties. When scoring was settled after the race, Drissi returned to the third position.
“These two were the class of the field,” Drissi said of Paul Menard and Adam Andretti, just moments after taking a famous Drissi selfie with them on the podium. “I could hang with them for the first three laps, (but) my hat’s off to these guys, they’ve been on fire. We’re looking for the setup on our car still, but we keep pushing. Drissi Motorsports and all the specialists that come over, thank you so much, you built me a car that lasted.
“On the restart, from my point of view, the flagger went green, but Menard wasn’t in the box, so me and Dyson just took off. I was like Forrest Gump running, but I couldn’t hold them off. Thank you everybody. Mosport, Trans Am, it’s so good coming here, the Canadian fans are just the best!”
Drissi’s third podium of the season enabled him to strengthen his grip on third in the TA standings, where he now leads Amy Ruman by 25 points and Dyson by 29. Just three races remain on the calendar, but last year, Drissi scored second place finishes at two of them—VIRginia International Raceway and Circuit of the Americas. The third, coming to Barber Motorsports Park, is a new event with an even playing field for all drivers.
Drissi Motorsports returns to action in Virginia on September 18-21, with Keith Grant set to return to the team’s #7 Chevrolet Camaro to compete in a second car alongside Drissi. Click here to buy tickets to watch Tomy and Keith race!

iRacing Studios To Produce Standalone INDYCAR Video Game in 2026
iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations and INDYCAR are pleased to announce a long-term licensing agreement for iRacing Studios to produce standalone INDYCAR titles for console and PC. As part of the agreement, iRacing Studios will release an INDYCAR title for PlayStation, Xbox and Steam in the second half of 2026. The new product will mark the first dedicated INDYCAR game in more than two decades.
“INDYCAR fans have long been clamoring for a standalone title for consoles, and we’re excited to give them what they’re looking for in 2026,” said Tony Gardner, president, iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations. “iRacing Studios’ standalone INDYCAR title will offer all the excitement of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and an immersive experience that fans of all ages can enjoy. We are already very excited about how the game is coming together.”
“The most competitive and challenging racing on the planet deserves a dedicated and widely available gaming experience,” said INDYCAR President J. Douglas Boles. “iRacing Studios is the ideal partner for us, trusted and known to our core fans and ready to share our sport with a wider and highly engaged audience.”
The iRacing Studios INDYCAR offering will join other iRacing Studios titles NASCAR 25 and the World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing games as officially licensed products that represent some of the top racing series in the world. The game will feature a robust, multilevel career mode, licensed drivers from the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone, and online multiplayer. The new product will be built from the ground up, with a dedicated development team creating the game on iRacing Studios’ proprietary and enhanced Orontes engine.
“Our company has grown significantly in recent years with the addition of new development teams and studios,” Gardner said. “Our INDYCAR title will benefit from this growth as it will be the sole focus of one of these teams. However, the game will also incorporate elements like car and track assets, technology and driving characteristics developed from other iRacing Studios products.”
Real-world INDYCAR teams and drivers will be deeply involved in the creation of the new title, including Team Penske star and iRacing enthusiast Scott McLaughlin. Since transitioning to the series full-time in 2021 from Australian Supercars, McLaughlin has won seven races and become a fan favorite.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of the development process for iRacing Studios’ new INDYCAR title,” said McLaughlin. “It’s an honor to work with a team that has developed such amazing products to help deliver INDYCAR’s first dedicated title in quite some time. It’s already an exciting time to be an INDYCAR fan for so many reasons, and this game will take the fans’ at-home driving experience to the next level!”
The heritage of the relationship between INDYCAR and iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations dates back more than three decades. The company’s predecessor, Papyrus Racing Games, created the iconic Indianapolis 500: The Simulation in 1989, followed by IndyCar Racing and IndyCar Racing II in 1993 and 1995, respectively.
A standalone INDYCAR title is the latest step in a continuously expanding partnership between INDYCAR and iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations. Separately, the two parties have also extended their license agreement long term for the iRacing simulation. The extension ensures INDYCAR’s continued gaming presence on PC and consoles alike for years to come.
