| F1000 Championship: Series Schedule Being Restructured |
The Formula 1000 Championship Series has announced it is going through a restructuring of its 2012 schedule, including the cancellation of the upcoming east-west shootout event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Recently, the F1000 Championship lost its private backing, forcing it to postpone some of the high-profile events on the originally posted schedule. The series is looking to replace those events with some more cost-effective SCCA National events, so that competitors may also use the events towards earning an invitation to the prestigious SCCA National Runoffs.
The much acclaimed east-west shootout event at Mid-Ohio slated for August 3-4 with the IndyCar Series has also been cancelled. The loss of the series' financial backing, coupled with low car counts, prompted its demise. The event was to feature cars from the west coast-based F1000 Pro Series, however the series has opted to hold a race at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
While the loss of its private backing has dealt a huge blow to the Formula 1000 Championship Series, organizers believe with proper restructuring of its 2012 schedule and prize fund, the championship will continue while it searches for a title sponsor and/or other financial backers.
The Formula 1000 Championship Series hopes to announce the restructured schedule in the next few weeks. |
