General Manager. “We have been looking for a way to broaden the reach of our racing series to fans and potential competitors, and Car Show TV is the perfect medium to help us increase our exposure and promote our marketing partners. We look forward to our first project together with Car Show TV at Mid-Ohio, and we are grateful to the SVRA for their cooperation in allowing this to happen on their race weekend.”

“Car Show TV is delighted to be partners with the Stuttgart Cup and Mission Foods GT3 Cup because these series align perfectly with our brand of programming,” said Andrew McClary, CST Founder, Executive Producer and Editor-and-Chief. “Adding these racing series to our lineup is inevitably the most exciting part to our network’s growth. We know that many of our fans and followers own similar cars, so the chance for everyone to actually see them on the track will be an amazing experience for all of our viewers.”

Car Show TV was started in 2013 by McClary and fellow automotive fan and enthusiast, Alex Berry, who have been in television and internet entertainment for over 20 years, working with major brands and networks. Launching with local coverage, Car Show Television started by building an audience of dedicated fans by covering major car shows in Florida and airing in South Florida on The Auto Channel. The online and national syndication quickly followed, and CST is considered one of the fastest growing automotive enthusiast channels available today.

The Mid-Ohio race weekend schedule features points-paying Friday and Saturday sprint races and a featured enduro on Sunday. Practice, qualifying and a Sunday warm-up session are also on a full schedule with ample track time. A Thursday test day, with four full on-track sessions is also scheduled.

Round 6 of the 2015 Stuttgart Cup/Mission Foods GT3 Cup 10 event race schedule, the Mid-Ohio weekend is also the last chance for new competitors to get in on this year’s championship battles.

Mid-Ohio is the first of 2015’s final five races, which means even competitors making their first start of the season on the Buckeye road course can contend for their series championship if they compete in each of the year’s remaining events.
