As the Alpha Touring Challenge gears up for Season 7, fans and drivers alike are buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming “silly season” – the time when teams and drivers announce their moves and transfers for the new season. The roster changes are sure to shake up the competition and create some exciting new dynamics on the track. Let’s go down the list of teams from last season.

Back of the Pack Racing

The team’s situation is not expected to change, with all drivers continuing their part-time commitments.

Beaver Buzz

The Canadian trio may have split after just two seasons, three since originally forming as a duo for Season 4. The original members, Jon Lauzon and Jerome Bajulaz, have not announced their intentions for Season 7, but it is expected that Beaver Buzz will not continue in its current form. Two-time champion Francois Shink has announced his intentions to sign for the brand new, four car, all-Honda outfit Curb your Enthusiasm Autosport for Season 7.

Breakfast 4 Dinner

Hot off the heels of a team championship, it is expected that B4D will remain at four drivers, though there are rumors that some restructuring is taking place. We expect to learn more as we get closer to VIR, but don’t be surprised if there isn’t a major change here.

Haas Holes Motorsports

HHM dissolved in dramatic fashion shortly after the end of Season 6. This marks the end of the league’s second oldest team, dating back to their time as Blue Flag Motorsports. Micah Hendricks, dealing with resentment from teammates and pain over his close championship defeat, has elected to join CYEA for their inaugural season. Daniel Cedeno has been spotted meeting with Daniel E Smith multiple times, but nothing has been made public. Agust Blondal and Spencer Cockayne have yet to make public comment on their plans.

Not Last Motorsports

The last remaining full-time member of NLM, Kurt Smith has announced his departure from the team. This comes as the same time that Damon Mitchell and Paul Morris are coming into the team, taking ownership and rebranding as Black Bar Racing.

QZ Motorsports

The lone remaining full-time member of QZ Motorsports, Adrian Fedorowski has leveraged his recent pace improvement into a seat at CYEA for Season 7, effectively dissolving QZ Motorsports.

Torque Steer Racing

Founded the day after Beaver Buzz during Season 3, TSR becomes the second long-standing team to fold after Season 6, and the fourth overall. Matthew Rzepka has moved on to CYEA. Aaron La and Gurkan Demir are part-time drivers. Daniel E Smith’s plans aren’t known beyond his previously discussed meeting with Daniel Cedeno.

Yellow Flag Motorsport

YFM made its plans known early and the team has remained stable. Now four-time champion Logan McKinzie is staying on board, along with Slugnificent and Connor Accettella. The team has finished its growth into a full four-car team with the addition of Eric Statzer as their Delta driver.
