With all the talk of the move to Stan killing off the ARG tour, how does this series, with FTA TV, compare?

The Sunday is a replay.The live coverage is on SBS Viceland 6pm-9pm Saturday.
Comparison with ARG?This is really grass roots.One “professional” series in TA2 that is more controlled than its ARG counterpart.However there are a lot of common competitors and the field this weekend is bigger than the recent TransAm grids at ARG.This weekend they are also running a field of the “historic” TransAm cars.The other 5 categories are pretty much motor racing landfill from a spectators point of view although that is irrelevant to the competitors.
The series announced this week a 5(!) year extension that involves a doubling of free to air TV coverage.Sponsorship for that confirmed.
Any comparison I might want to make to ARG would possibly be libellous to the owners of that series.
