Semi-Pro Racing. Serious Driver Development. Real Formula Mazda.
For the dedicated racing enthusiast and the aspiring pro alike, Formula Mazda delivers organized, high-value open-wheel racing with professional standards at a fraction of the cost of traditional pro racing.
Series overview
Formula Mazda is built around the idea of semi-pro racing — a place where passionate racers can compete in a serious, organized environment while aspiring professionals continue to develop their racecraft, technical understanding, and on-track confidence. At the center of that mission is the Formula Mazda Challenge, our organized series within SCCA, created to give drivers a focused championship experience with strong competition, clear structure, and a true community around the cars. But the opportunity does not stop there. Whether you race an FMzR or an original FM, you can also compete at SCCA events across the country, giving owners multiple ways to get on track and maximize the value of their car.
Car highlights
The Formula Mazda platform is designed to support driver development at every stage.

The current-generation FMzR blends proven Formula Mazda DNA with modern technology, safety, and performance updates. It is responsive, durable, cost-conscious, and built to deliver an authentic open-wheel experience for both semi-pro and aspiring pro drivers.
