F2000 Championship Series Philosophy
F2000 Championship Series Philosophy
The F2000 Championship Series, or F2000, is designed to offer close competition to an inclusive group of open wheel, single seat formula cars operating under a set of clearly defined rules. While the cars are currently powered by one of several Ford 2 Liter engines, this is not to say that at some point in the future other power plants might be included providing support and equalization are possible.
F2000 was founded on 3 main principals:
1) Vertical Integration between Pro Racing and Club Racing
One of the main tenets of the series is ‘vertical integration’ between amateur [regional and national] and Professional level competition. The ability of competitors currently racing in club competition to be welcome to participate in the Series with minimal alterations to their equipment is tantamount. This allows any Sports Car Club of America [SCCA] legal Formula Continental car, per the SCCA General Competition Rules [GCR], to enter and compete on as level a playing field as can be formulated.
The Series believes in a proven formula which rewards good driving and punishes a mistake; FC (F2000) has met the criteria for 20 years in this country and has trained outstanding drivers who have reached the highest level of motor sports. It is the intent of the Series to consolidate all eligible cars, over time, to be more closely aligned to SCCA GCR FC rules. The Series is determined to remain a single class series, that is, not a two tier series.
2) A Balance of Quality Track time at Premier Tracks with Exposure at High Profile Events
An equally central tenet of F2000 is to compete at great race tracks with excellent track time [quantity] and track times [quality]; the goal being length of sessions and times of sessions scheduled in a way to accommodate the competitor’s desire for sufficient track time at reasonable times of each day of a scheduled competition.
3) Offer the Best Professional Entry Level Program For Both Seasoned and Aspiring Race Car Drivers.
The Series is intent on providing a first class training ground for aspiring drivers, engineers and mechanics both on the track and on the set up platform. Racing is expensive and the Series will pay close attention to containing those costs, but not at the expense of creating another spec class. FC is a class open to ongoing performance development, which is healthy and desirable.
The Series above all is focused on creating a professional atmosphere where drivers, teams and officials can both expand their horizons and enjoy the experience.
Full F2000 Rules will be posted on our website shortly [expected this evening sometime, Thursday 1/11] and we encourage all interested parties to visit www.f2000championshipseries.com for these as well as other pertinent series information.
