Introducing the new 10-race AFRA Star Mazda Series!
The Atlantic Formula Racing Association (AFRA) has generously offered to award a prize to the overall series champion. The prize will take the form of a FREE AFRA Lapping Day or 50% off Lapping School (in 2013) at Atlantic Motorsport Park, providing the winner meets the requirements to enter such an event.
This new series will be starting from scratch. All championship points earned from the F2000 series will be dropped.
Here is the race calendar. The tracks were selected based on the QuikQuinn series. Basically, we'll be running the same track as run the previous week in the Miata's, except that we'll run the long configuration in the much faster Star Mazda. This should minimize track purchases for those who don't already own many.
