That’s the idea being tested by the first-ever concept vehicle the British automaker has brought to SEMA, a high-performance version of the compact X-Type sedan. “There is a lot of interest in getting back on the track in North America,” revealed Jaguar spokesman Simon Sproule, most likely in the TransAm racing series. A decision could be made in the near future. And it would not be linked to any decision on the future of Jaguar’s struggling Formula One efforts, Sproule emphasized. Even if the automaker doesn’t return to U.S. racing, the new prototype could pump up interest in high-performance custom parts for Jaguar production vehicles.

Get back into it??
Unless my aged memory is failing me really badly there have been more than a couple of XK Jags running around in Trans-AM for the last couple of years. Doing very well too against the Mustangs, Corvettes and Panoz cars.

The artilce is refering to Jaguar Factory going back into Trans-Am racing.
