Since its inception, F100
has been dedicated to providing the highest level of competition at the most
affordable price for racers of all ages, budgets and experience levels. Now
entering its 6th year of competition, F100 stays true to its original mission
in a variety of ways including by providing the lowest entry fees of any racing
series in Southern California, utilizing a graduated licensing system that
allows for racers to compete against drivers of similar experience levels, and
enforcing effective clean racing rules that allow all racers a fair chance at
the top step of the podium.
Along with these policies,
F100 believes that rule consistency is also a key to its affordable competition
mission. With this in mind, over the years F100 has made only minor changes to
its rule set and class structure, always maintaining the ideal of putting
racers first. Once again in 2017, F100 has remained true to its mission and has
made only minimal changes and key additions to the F100 rules and
class structures. A list of key changes and additions is below:
