Who can deviate attention from motor events whether on the road or appearing on the television channel? Such are the arrangements that organizers make at the show venues. The year 2006 was filled with lots of energy and aggression on the auto-racing front while the new-year is expected to see the introduction of new vehicles and drivers and their new alliances. The following will give an idea about the forthcoming car racing events.
Formula BMW USA Championship
Like any other automaker, the year 2007 will be busy for BMW of North America. It has recently announced its schedule for the 2007 Formula BMW USA season. The 14-round championship will comprise seven circuits, competing in front of the Champ Car World Series and the American Le Mans Series besides both North American Formula One Grand Prix races.
The peak season of the Formula BMW USA Championship will start at Miller Motorsports Park on May 17-18, 2007, with Rounds 1 and 2, while Rounds from 3 to 6 will be run in support of the Canadian and the United States Grands Prix from June 8 to10 and June 15 to17. Rounds 7 and 8 will be held from July 6 to7 at the Lime Rock Park in support of the ALMS. The championship fight will be taken to the streets with Rounds 9 and 10 at the San José Grand Prix from July 27 to 29 with Champ Car, while rounds 11 and 12 will take place in support of the Champ Car/ALMS race event at Road America from August 8 to 12. The 2007 season will conclude at Mosport International Raceway from August 24 to 26.
Auto analysts, who are looking for a dream season, feel that the winner of the 2007 Formula BMW USA championship is likely to be decided in the two final rounds as in the three previous years. Age never mattered for the racing enthusiasts and drivers. The 2006 Formula BMW USA Champion was a 17-year-old Robert Wickens, and 16-year-old Daniel Morad became the 2006 Rookie of the Year. In 2005, 15-year-old Richard Philippe received the Overall and the Rookie championship.
IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge
The International Motor Sports Association announced, in association with Porsche Motorsports North America and the tyre major Michelin, the launch of the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge presented by Michelin, a series created for the Porsche GT3 Cup racecars.
The IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge series presented by Michelin will allow amateur and semi-professional drivers, those who do not make their living in motor sports, to compete in a professional environment.
As part of the initiative, Michelin will be the title sponsor of the series, and the tyre giant will be providing the spec tire for all competitors. The association with GT3 Cup worldwide is aimed at Michelin’s commitment to high-performance tires. The association between Michelin and Porsche has helped the tyre company develop ultra-high performance tires that can perform both on the track and the street.
The auto giant Porsche has also spruced up its produces aimed at the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge. Based on the Porsche 996 body style, the specially built cars will have sealed engines and transmissions, providing added energy for close racing.
