High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Formula Mazda is a class of relatively affordable open wheel formula racing. Formula Mazda has its own class in SCCA club racing, and there is a North American professional series named Star Mazda Championship that often runs as a support race for the American Le Mans Series. The cars are very popular; seeing a field of 40 or more cars at a race is quite common. Many drivers aspiring to the top classes of racing use the pro series to hone and demonstrate their talent. In 2006, the 2004 Formula Mazda champion, Michael McDowell, drove in the American Champ Car series, while Scott Speed, who won in Formula Mazda in 2002, became the first American Formula One driver in a decade. In terms of both cost and performance, Formula Mazda lies between Formula Ford and Formula Atlantic, that is, close to a Formula Three and a Formula Renault 2.0. A full season in the professional Star Mazda series costs around US$200,000 - US$300,000 in 2005.
