Originally approved by the Spanish Motorsport Federation for inscription in the official FIA 2008 calendar, the schedule was then officially rubber stamped at the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting on Friday 7 December 2005.
While the performance of our cars, matched with these spectacular circuits obviously attracts our share of motorsport fans, our goal is to introduce football supporters to Superleague Formula and provide an outstanding day of family entertainment. The race weekends are ‘more than a race’ and we aim to provide unprecedented access for fans to meet the drivers and see the cars and teams up close.
Superleague Formula has a unique party-like atmosphere where fans will see their colours doing battle against their traditional rivals in an entirely new sporting arena.
In Year Two and beyond, we want to expand gradually up to a maximum of 17 races in future years, taking the championship closer to all fans around the world at venues in Europe, South America and Asia. We are also looking at the possibility of taking Superleague Formula to the fans by staging a series of street races, as well.
