Indycar star James Hinchcliffe sits on the Board of Directors for the Series providing excellent input and direction as to the key components of a successful Championship. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
I m pleased to be sitting on the board of the newly launched Formula America series. As someone who came up through the junior ranks of American open wheel racing I have always been a big proponent of supporting young talent following in the same path. I have watched for years as the cost of competing in formula cars has gone up significantly and have long thought there was a need, and a market, for a more affordable first step from karts to cars. Formula America is absolutely that step. It offers a level playing field for a fraction of the cost of other entry level series with a focus on seat time and developing race craft to better prepare young drivers for the next level on the professional open wheel ladder. James Hinchcliffe
Formula America Headquarters The headquarters for the Series is based in Sebring, Florida where the company has two new commercial jet hangers at the Sebring Regional Airport. The Sebring Airport Authority also owns the Sebring Int l Raceway property, which is located next door. The facility includes four offices and work area to hold and maintain all Formula America cars. This prestigious address next to the Sebring Int l Raceway provides the Series with year-round testing abilities. Sebring is where all Indycar teams test during the winter season.
Unlike individual team or driver sponsorship, Series sponsorship is a Win / Win proposition. Every car and every driver will be carrying your brand identification, so no matter who wins, you will always be a winner. Formula America has complete control over the promotion of the Series and its sponsors and promote is what we do. Auto Racing fans are an extremely brand loyal group. They try, purchase and utilize products and services of companies who sponsor their sport. Corporate hospitality is another avenue of business promotion at Formula America events. Entertaining clients and/or rewarding employees in the Formula America dedicated Hospitality unit is just another sample of activities that can be easily realized with this Series. Our Partners
