In 2012 Formula Continental achieved ICSCC Championship Class status. Fifteen different drivers raced in either ICSCC (13) or SCCA (2) events. For 2013 2 new FC drivers and cars have joined the conference family. There are an additional 13 cars sitting in garages......some that will reportedly be hitting the race track in 2013.
More important there are 4 cars currently for sale on Apexspeed right here in the Pacific Northwest. Three of these cars are eligible to compete in SOVREN's exhibition class. All three of these can be had for 8500.00 or less. That's Spec Miata money......you cannot go any faster for the money.
Can an older car run up front? To be honest I do not know, but I can say that my fastest time in my 85 Swift (1:28.1) at Spokane is less that 1.5 seconds behind my lap record in my 99 Mygale. Don't know if I could have won in the Swift at Spokane last year but I am pretty sure it would have been top 2 or 3 in a field of 8. The fourth car for sale is a 95 VD, which in the right hands could run up front.
So if anyone out there is thinking about going racing in an open car with open wheels, and wings, capable
of pulling 2 plus g's in a corner and topping out at 145 mph.........now might be the time.
