2013 FCC presented by Goodyear Schedule Announced
14 races, 4 tracks, and the GoPro Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma all on the calendar for next season
December 22nd, 2012
Sonoma, California
The FCC presented by Goodyear announced their 2013 schedule today. The series will race this upcoming season at Portland International Raceway, Thunderhill Raceway Park, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and a variety of configurations at Sonoma Raceway. "As has been the model since the series inception, the majority of our events feature exclusive track time for FCC drivers," stated FCC Series Official Ben Hettema.
There are two "diamond" events on the West Coast 2013 calendar being announced today. The first one takes place on the July 5th-7th race weekend at Portland International Raceway. "This event is considered the region's premier event, and is part of the National SCCA Majors Program," added Hettema. "Our series has two exclusive races, but drivers can also opt to participate in the SCCA sessions making the event a quadruple header!"
In August the Formula Car Challenge presented by Goodyear is a featured series during the GoPro Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma alongside the IZOD IndyCar Series. "Drivers come out from all of our regions for this event, and we typically get 35 cars in the field," noted Hettema. Fans will enjoy a full weekend of racing with the SCCA World Challenge rounding out the event. In addition to plenty of on-track action, fans will enjoy Military Appreciation Day, an autograph session, and the only race-day air show on the IndyCar circuit.
"These are what we refer to as our 'diamond' events." stated World Speed Communications Director Mark Milazzo. "This doesn't mean that the other events we have are not exciting. Every event NASA sanctions features all kinds of great racing action. Over the course of the season we will be scheduled alongside the US Touring Car Championship, Pirelli Driver's Cup, Global Time Attack, Porsche Racing Club, American Iron Series, The Spec Miata Challenge, and a host of other interesting racing series."
