F2000 Championship Series Announced

SHARON, CONN. (November 23, 2005) - Seeking to fill a void in the 
entry-level, single-seat racing community, the formation of F2000 
Championship Series has been announced by Series Director Michael Rand 
along with series principals Alan D Guibord and Robert Wright.

Created for Formula Continental drivers currently competing in both 
amateur and professional events, the F2000 Championship Series will 
feature both Pinto and Zetec powered F2000 cars. Utilizing the SCCA Club 
Racing GCR (General Competition Rules), the series will use a soon to be 
announced spec racing tire and spec track fuel. Providing technical 
support, GTP Motorsports will attend every event, as the official series 
parts supplier.

"I truly believe the F2000 Championship Series fills a void in racing,” 
said Rand. “Initially I was skeptical about the concept, but the more I 
became involved, the more I realized it is not only viable, but needed. 
With the Zetec engine now accepted in restricted spec form into Formula 
Continental SCCA Club Racing, the F2000 Championship Series will provide 
Pinto and Zetec powered drivers the opportunity to experience 
cost-effective pro racing on a level playing field.”

Commencing in May, the season will consist of six doubleheader race 
weekends. Based in the Eastern United States, the 2006 schedule 
tentatively includes races at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama, Summit 
Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia, Watkins Glen International 
located in upstate New York, Lime Rock Park in Connecticut and Virginia 
International Raceway.

Series registration will cost $500, with the entry fee for the 
doubleheader weekends set at $775. Paying back to 10th place, each race 
will have a purse of over $6,000 up for grabs.

All potential series participates are requested to contact the series 
office for more detailed information. Please contact Mike Rand with the
