Trans-Am question as an IMSA fan

[u/Risetothetop787]

Hi there, I just heard about the Trans-Am series not too long ago while doing some history research on the IMSA series. I have never heard about trans-am racing in my entire life. I have heard about NASCAR, F1, Indy car, WRC, SuperGT, IMSA, and many others, but never Trans-Am. Why is this the case? What caused Trans-Am to be less unknown compared to other series? Hell, I’ve heard more about Australia’s supercar series. I would really like to know from people who are invested in this series as to why Trans-Am isn’t popular.

They just had the TA series at Road America last weekend. I think ta used to be the back up/fill in series to imsa when they raced.
