You're up there a bit - aren't you?
Well... I looked up Lloydminster, AB on Mapquest, and - WOW! That's quite a distance from any of the road racing tracks that I know of. I know that there is a track in Spokane, but SCCA doesn't run any events there that I know of. Another approach for you, might be to pick a region where you plan to race and then try renting from someone who serves that area. This might work especially well if you plan to fly to your races to keep travel time to a reasonable level.
Maybe a couple of the Canadian drivers could help out with a link or phone number for additional info on what might be available above 49 degrees north. If you are interested in SCCA events and classes, the formula car participation is much greater in the central US and California than it is in the Pacific Northwest (where I am). There isn't much of anything between the Canadian border and Denver or Salt Lake City.
None of the classes you mentioned in your initial post have sequential or paddle shifter. Some of the newest DSR cars have paddles (I believe...). Or, you could try FSCCA for a sequential shifter. Wings complicate things in terms of finding the balance between additional downforce vs. high speed drag. They also add to the expense if you need to replace one due to contact with something or someone. Classes like FF, F500 and FV rely exclusively on mechanical grip and do not have wings.
Good luck, keep the questions coming!
