FORMULA 3 PLANNED FOR THE UNITED STATES
Jerry Kunzman, NASA's Executive Director and R. Cary Capparelli, President of Omni-Communique Inc.,
announced the formation of an exploratory committee to research the
feasibility of re-establishing the international Formula Three race
category in the United States.
“Both Cary and I agree that there
may be a real need to bring back a United States Formula Three
championship,” said Kunzman. “Interest has always remained very
high.”
Capparelli added, “Formula Three
is the proper formula to develop American Formula One drivers. A
long term goal is to establish all international categories in North
America.”
Capparelli is the founder of the
original United States Formula Three Championship which ran with
success in 2000 in association with Volkswagen. NASA was the
organizing and sanctioning body for its race at Sears Point. The
committee will determine a need of both a United States only series
and a full continental North American Championship. The group is
targeting a 2009 startup.
