Default If s2000 is such a great track and driver car...

Why is it never in any US races televised on SpeedTV? Do pros not like this car? Continental race on Speed right now has Miata, Mustang, Civic Si's, Cooper S, Caymans, M3's, GTI's, Camaros,STI, etc but no S2000. Does it not fit in any of these classes? A lot of cars mentioned are also very heavy from S2K owners perspective and some FWD which some owners despise but here they are getting track duty.

Lack of factory support, lack of sanctioning body support, and now lack of production. (Though the CR's of HPD are doing quite well in SCCA club racing, from what I understand.)

IMO a seriously Track prepped S2000 is a "cheater" car like a Lotus. What class do you put it in?

i think one its because the engine is maxxed out and two if it were to get into a race accident difficult to repair.
