THE FORMULA 2000 CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - 2011
The series has 2 Canadian teams, Brian Graham Racing of Innisfil Ontario, and Audette Racing of Boisbriand Quebec. This gives the series a good Canadian following.
The cars are single seat, mid engine, open wheel vehicles powered by 2000cc Ford engines developing approximately 150 horsepower. The chassis is a tubular space frame, flat bottom with roll hoop and energy absorbing nose box and side impact protection, manufacturers include Van Diemen, Mygale, Piper and Citation.
The races are approximately 50 miles in length. Each race weekend includes 2 full races. The cars entered are usually in numbers of 30 or more.
We will look forward to seeing the Formula 2000 Championship series up close at Mosport for a third year in a row. Last years races in support of the NASCAR Canadian tire Series were outstandinding.

Connery said: "Today was a great comeback for the team. We gave up more than I wanted at the start but I kept the tires clean during the caution. After that we made some clean passes. I saw the white flag and got a great run on Tim down the backstretch. He gave me room and I took the line."

"I got a good start, Tim (Minor) was behind me at the green, bumped me a little but it wasn't a big deal. Robert (La Rocca) also made contact with my tire in turn one," said Audette. "The team told me to run a fast lap at the end to maximize points so we took fast lap back. It was a cruising race."

Remy Audette swept both races at Watkins Glen in his #21 Audette Racing Van Diemen.
"Connery passed me in the bus stop but I got back around him when he spun," said Audette. "I had to get by Chris and Tim after the restart. It's my first weekend with two wins, so this is awesome."

"I was able to open up a gap when the guys behind me were dicing. It's a great comeback from VIR.", said Kyle Connery after the win.
Canadian Remy Audette won 2nd and said after the race, "I lost a ton of positions at the start by going to the outside, but we were able to recover, there were some parts of the track the car was just much faster than everyone else."

"That was incredible," said Connery, thanking his supporters along with James Lee Racing.
"I went after Minor and he was a lot faster than I thought he was. I was able to get by him in Turn 10a, and then he got by me again. I sat there and watched him for a bit and saw where the tires were going off, I had a great run coming out of seven on the last lap and set him up at the very last second. I don't think I've been that deep on the brakes at the end of the back stretch all weekend."

RACE 2 - F2000 CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
MOSPORT INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY - JUNE 14, 2009 |

Braselton, GA – Robert La Rocca remained perfect, with four wins in four starts in the 2012 F2000 Championship Series, sweeping the Road Atlanta weekend with a win on Saturday morning in the No. 10 HP-Tech Motorsport Van Diemen. La Rocca fought back from a challenge on the start, heading four wide into turn one, and another from Wyatt Gooden on a restart, and separated himself from the pack twice, setting fastest lap, to win over Kyle Connery and Gooden.
Braselton, GA – Robert La Rocca continued the success following his third straight win of 2012 on Friday, by vaulting to pole in an early morning qualifying session for round two of the Road Atlanta F2000 Championship Series weekend, smashing the existing track record with a lap of 1:24.373. Lining up next to the HP-Tech driver will be Wyatt Gooden, who started from pole on Friday but had to settle for second after La Rocca wrestled away the lead.
Braselton, GA – Robert La Rocca made it three wins in three starts in 2012, winning at Road Atlanta on Friday morning after trading the lead back and forth throughout the 18-lap race with rookie Wyatt Gooden, who started from pole. La Rocca eventually separated from Gooden, who went on to finish second, his best F2000 performance to date for Quantum Racing Services, with Kyle Connery following in third place. All three drivers were in Van Diemens.
Braselton, GA – Rookie Wyatt Gooden, who had never driven at Road Atlanta prior to today, took pole by a tenth of a second for round three of the 2012 F2000 Championship Series season, setting a lap of 1:24.907 to break the track record in the No. 6 Quantum Racing Services Van Diemen. Robert La Rocca, who leads the points coming off two wins at VIR, lines up second ahead of Fabio Orsolon, Kyle Connery and Chris Livengood.
Braselton, GA – Robert La Rocca continued his success from a double win at VIR, setting fastest lap over three 25-minute practice sessions on Thursday morning at Road Atlanta, ahead of qualifying and rounds three and four of the 2012 F2000 Championship Series season, driving the No. 10 HP-Tech Motorsport Van Diemen. In the third and final session of the morning, La Rocca turned in a lap of 1:24.964, well under the track record and ahead of Fabio Orsolon, Niki Coello, Wyatt Gooden and Kyle Connery.
Braselton, GA – A last minute deal has put Australian Nathan Morcom in a Van Diemen for the Road Atlanta F2000 weekend with Momentum Motorsports. Morcom previously campaigned a Van Diemen in 2011, winning in Virginia, before switching to the RFR chassis later in the year, and contesting it last month, also in Virginia, for Primus Racing.
Braselton, GA – The F2000 Championship Series heads into rounds three and four at Road Atlanta this weekend with a tight Championship battle. Robert La Rocca is coming off an opening weekend sweep, with two wins at VIR for HP-Tech, but was handed a 25 point penalty, while Niki Coello, Kevin Kopp and Fabio Orsolon are not far behind in the points. Don’t count out Kyle Connery either, who won both races in Georgia last year, Tim Minor, who finished second, and Wyatt Gooden, who ran at the front in Virginia a month ago.
Lindenhurst, NY – After a hiatus from the F2000 Championship Series, Group-A Racing is back in the formula, having last contested a full year in 2009 with a two-car campaign. Group-A has also announced prize packages for any drivers competing under its awning at F2000 races in 2012 and beyond.
Kevin Kopp came out of VIR third in F2000 Championship Series points. The rookie, coming out of karting and Spec Miata, was relatively unknown, in the Wisko F2000 entry, but had a trouble free weekend and stayed at the front of the field. Let’s ask him some questions…
Well, VIR was rather anticlimactic, for me anyways. That’s racing though, and while the weekend was disappointing from a results standpoint there was plenty of good things to have come of it. Most importantly, I was with good friends and family and despite race car problems had a really great time. The weather was beautiful, the track at VIR is always a pleasure, and it was just great to be back at the track with all the characters I have somehow grown to enjoy.
