The Formula Mazda is an open wheel race car which is adaptable to both oval tracks and road courses. It is a "spec" formula car, meaning that under the sanction body of SCCA and the FM class, all cars are virtually the same. The motor is sealed by Daryl Drummond Enterprises, the official engine builder, and all parts must be as provided by the Formula Mazda manufacturer, Moses Smith Racing. Minor adjustments can be made by driver and crew to the ride heights, toes, cambers, casters, wing angles, gear ratios, and tire pressure, in order to accomodate the vast variety of tracks and conditions that exist. This allows competitors to race on a level playing ground, and when the checkered flag drops, the best driver is revealed, at least for that day...
