Thank you, It came up in conversation and was just trying to remember the name!

How come it's not around anymore,it seemed pretty popular?

It is still around, it's the CONTINENTAL TIRE SPORTS CAR CHALLENGE series. It just changed name a few times since.

Continental is nice, but it's kind of rough on the cars, last Continental race I watched it was pretty insane, people running in each other and crashing each other out. I guess since it's on TV it brings a larger audience and thus becomes more competitive than, for example, CTCC. The cars are by no means showroom stock like in the Motorolla Cup either, full MoTeC systems, Bosch Motorsport ECUs, expensive dampers are common place even in Continental. Some teams even have spare cars in their trailers, just in case...

CTCC is nice though with a good mix of seasoned veterans and newcomers but still competitive with a friendly atmosphere. B-Spec in World Challenge and CTCC is more like Motorolla Cup in terms of showroom stock cars. Spec suspension, tires, anti roll bars, etc. It's by no means cheap racing, just cheap-ER though :p
