| The Formula Mazda was originally designed in 1990 for instructional use by the Jim Russell Driving School in California. Valley Motors has since taken over construction of the car and has created the only spec formula racing class . Because of its classification as spec car, the Formula Mazda is perfect for racing competitively within a reasonable budget. |
Formula Mazda Racing, which features open wheel race cars adaptable to both oval tracks and road courses, is conducted on several levels of competition. |
| Since 1991, the professionally organized Star Mazda Series has provided the most popular format for sponsors, spectators, and upward bound drivers. |
| Joint appearances with big name racing programs, plus related television coverage since 1996, have greatly increased Star Mazda Series exposure to the advantage of both current and prospective sponsors. |
| In addition to the Star Mazda Series, the Formula Mazda race car may be seen at other types of racing events. At the amateur or club racing level, it is eligible for Regional and National championship competition in the Sports Car Club of America's Formula Mazda Class. In National competition, drivers can ultimately qualify to race for a National Championship at year's end. |
In a typical season, Formula Mazdas will appear in over 150 pro or amateur sanctioned races in North America. |
