"In my free time, I want fun, hassle-free racing"
Here's the deal… If you want to go racing, in actual wheel to wheel or fender to
fender competition, there's nothing better than the amazingly accessible Skip Barber
Race Series. Your choice of two proven race cars: The Formula Skip Barber, or the
race-prepped Mazda MX-5 Miata. No need for you to buy, prep, haul and fix a race
car. We do all that. Your "job" is to show up with your friends and family
and race, having the time of your life!
The vast majority of drivers in the regional open-wheel Formula Skip Barber Race
Series and the MX-5 Miata MAZDASPEED Challenge are just like you; people between
15 and 65 years old who love motorsports and have found a tremendously fun, hassle-free
way to race, as a hobby or avocation. The mix of equal cars, the arrive-and-drive
format (we bring everything, from the cars to the racing suits) and the fantastic
camaraderie between all the competitors bring many drivers back year after year.
Yes, young drivers have long used Skip Barber Racing as their jumping-off point
for professional careers, and for many good reasons. But the essence of Skip Barber
Regional Racing is regular people doing what they may have thought was difficult
or even impossible: real racing, on famous tracks around North America. And you
can enter as few or as many races as you want; Skip Barber Racing is specifically
designed to be financially and geographically accessible, year round.
There are eligibility requirements, so if you are a graduate of the Skip Barber
Three-Day Racing School (or other recognized competition courses), you are only
a few "Advanced Activities" away from taking your first green flag. "Drivers!
Start... your... engines!"

With so much experience and expertise running equal-car racing championships, and
