Series to be featured at Mazda Raceway Uncorked Invitational
No sound limit double header in Monterey will feature all types of interesting racing

Monterey, CA
The Molecule Formula Mazda Challenge series has been selected to race in a very unique event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca without any noise restriction. "This is an event that will feature vintage motorcycles, classic Formula One, and Historic NASCAR so I don't think we'll be the loudest group out there," stated series Official Ben Hettema. "We were able to secure three exclusive sessions per day, and we will have a practice, qualify, and race session each day." The event takes place September 12th-13th.
There are only 6 weekends per year that don't have sound restrictions at Mazda Raceway so the value of this event can't be underestimated. "These open wheel Mazdas see an incredible increase in power, and decrease in lap times once you can open them up," noted Hettema. "We expect a good turnout because for some of the racers in our series this is the only opportunity they'll ever get to see what they can do at Mazda Raceway with their car wide open."
The only cars that are invited for this event are the Star Pro Formula Mazda that is powered by the 13b Renesis found in the new Mazda RX8, the Standard Formula Mazda that is powered by the 13b Rotary found in the mid 80s Mazda RX7, the Formula E which features the same powerplant that is used in the first generation Mazda3, and the F2000 car which is powered by the same 2 liter engine that was installed in the first generation Mazda Tribute SUV.
"This is more than just another race weekend," stated the event organizers. "It is an experience that will be so much fun it should be illegal." The weekend opens with a Friday night welcome BBQ. On Saturday there is a banquet that all drivers are invited to, and a film crew will be working both days and each driver will receive a commemorative DVD of the event.
The Molecule Formula Mazda Challenge is a regional Formula Mazda series that keeps costs in check by limiting travel to a general region and racing spec open wheel cars.
The series forges into its fifth consecutive season as an officially sanctioned NASA race group. The year end cash awards have grown to over $18,000 for the season with the addition of support from MAZDASPEED.
Returning series partners include Star Race Cars, Goodyear, and title sponsor Molecule Labs.
The MFMC run group will be limited to 35 cars MAXIMUM!
Entries will be processed on a first come first served basis.
Registration is open now
