According to Seb Coppola, President of the Formula 5000 Drivers Association: “I am pleased to be able to announce a season of racing events at three of North America’s best race tracks where F5000 cars competed from 1968 to 1976 and will compete again in 2023.” He added: “2023 is the 55th Anniversary of the beginning of Formula A/F5000 in 1968. We expect a large contingent of cars that originally raced from 1968 to 1976. We are particularly thrilled to have more than a dozen cars and racers join us from New Zealand, Australia, and England at the Rolex Motorsport Reunion and other events.”
The heritage of Formula 5000 is deep and includes racing icons, such as Brian Redman, David Hobbs, Mario Andretti, Mark Donohue, Jody Schechter, Tony Adamowicz, Graham McRae, Al Unser Sr., and many others. The sound and fury of F5000 cars are thrilling for racing fans to watch and hear. The car marquees include Chevron, Gurney Eagle, LeGrand, Lola, March, McKee, McLaren, McRae, Shadow, and Surtees.
The race tracks hosting the Formula 5000 group in 2023 are ideal venues for F5000 cars with their long straights, sweeping turns, elevation changes, a kink, a corkscrew, and other features that make these tracks extremely fun for drivers and fans alike.
The U.S. Formula 5000 Drivers Association is a membership car club established to promote the restoration, presentation, registration and racing of historic Formula 5000 race cars. The Association organizes vintage racing events and other activities for Formula 5000 cars (www.F5000Registry.com).
