The Formula 1000 Championship Series presented by Goodyear is a non-spec professional open-wheel racing Series designed to resemble a junior version of Formula 1. Standing starts, engines that rev over 12,000 rpm’s and open aerodynamics are just part of this class. The Championship kicks off its inaugural season at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park May 18-20. The Series will also represent the Clarington East Food Bank, accepting financial and food donations at the track. Those who donate will have the chance to win one of two GoPro HD HERO2 cameras given away during the event.
