Becoming a successful racer does not end once you leave the track. How a driver navigates their race team, sponsors, and marketing opportunities is equally important as their skill behind the wheel.

Competitors in the Skip Barber Race Series have met Ross Chastain, benefited from VIP access at countless NASCAR events, and sat on the pit box of IMSA races.
Unrivaled Track Access

The Race Car
Crafted completely from carbon fiber, the FIA homologated monocoque is paired with a 160HP turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Power is transmitted to the rear tires through a paddle-shifted SADEV sequential 6-speed, propelling this 1,200 lbs rocket to 60 mph in under 4 seconds.
Whether you are looking for the ultimate open-wheel driving experience, or preparing to dominate formula car championships across the globe, the Skip Barber Formula Car is the culmination of Skip Barber’s 40+ years of building champions.
