FWR

Formula World Racing has embraced a philosophy of equal opportunity. To accomplish our mission to become a successful feeder series, FWR will strive to provide the following key elements:

Provide a venue for which talented drivers and teams have the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to a national audience.
Secure a level playing field for all competitors thus assuring a TRUE Champion the winning entitlements.
Provide a value proposition beyond the norm of today’s single make series.
Provide the highest recognition for individuals and teams.

THE SERIES

The concept for the Formula World Racing Sports Car Championship (FWRSCC) is based upon Le Mans Prototype racing through a ladder or “feeder” series in the USA. The FWRSCC series will feed into both The American Le Mans series and The Grand American series.

Market Appeal

In the USA, Le Mans type racing exist only at the highest levels. Over the past five year the popularity of Sports Car racing has fueled tremendous growth from teams and spectators through the country. Today, many teams and Driver would like to participate in prototype racing; however making the move from amateur to International levels of racing is extremely difficult logistically and financially. Therefore, many talented drivers and teams are unable to attain their full potential.

Series Highlights

The Series will have specific guidelines as follows:

Series to begin (TBD).
12 races per season consisting of both track and street courses throughout the United States.
Series will begin with an impressive $600,000 purse with prize money paid to the 15th position. Prize money going to both Rookie of the Year and Series Winner.
Extra points given to the drivers for Pole Position, Winner of both Pole and Race, Most race starts, and most laps lead.
Mandatory fuel stop (anticipated 1-2 stop)
Driver Changes for special endurance races ( 3-4)
Duration of races average 90 –105 minutes (1 hour 30 – 45 minutes)
Expanded driver and team exposure with televised tape delay on SPEED channel.
Will participate during major weekend events (ALMS, Grand American and OWRS weekends.)

Market Potential

The growth in Motorsports in the past few years has been staggering. NASCAR has broken ground for the Auto Racing industry in terms of a new area for marketing and corporate sponsorship. NASCAR’s fans have long been known to be very loyal to the sponsors of their favorite drivers. This phenomenon is what has propelled NASCAR front and center of the racing industry not just in the USA but overseas as well.
