M1 is an Official Car Builder to the Trans Am Series

M1 is an ‘Official Car Builder’ to the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli

We utilize our race-winning technology to produce the most stable and predictable racecar on the track today. Just ask any driver or team who has experienced the "M1 Difference."

The proprietary chassis design by M1 has been CAD-perfected by our engineering staff to ensure that each completed chassis is identical and performs as expected. Our chassis materials are CNC mandrel bent and cut to our exacting standards, which results in the most precise and cost effective build.

TeamSLR is the exclusive distributor for M1 Racecars worldwide. TeamSLR also provides M1 with vital technical assistance and on-track feedback to support our performance development efforts.

This combination has been a powerful asset to M1 and to every M1 customer, which has included the championship-winning Peterson Racing organization, Guthrie’s Garage, Troy Benner Autosport, Carroll Racing Enterprises, Brown Brothers Racing, and Big Machine Racing.
