This thread is about the 2010 seasons of all American open-wheel series below the Atlantics.
The F2000 Championship Series (
www.f2000championshipseries.com) will have a new direct rival: the IRL-sanctioned USF2000 National Championship (
www.f2000.com). The latter's website claims: "We expect our drivers to come from karting, quarter midgets, Skip Barber, Russell School series, Canadian Formula Ford, Pacific F2000, F2000 Northeast, Formula Mazda series [i.e. regional series, not Star Mazda], SCCA Club Racing and open-wheel junior championships in Europe and South America. We also plan to reach out to
midget and sprint car drivers who would like to gain experience in rear-engine cars as well as road racing and street courses." So they are supposed to steal a few Nascar hopefuls too.
