Formula Mazda

The series originally grew out of five chassis built by Hayashi in Japan for the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School in California, USA.

The cars have a basic welded steel tube frame chassis, with in-board front shocks operated by upper rocker arms.

MSR has since moved to a new location at MotorSport Ranch (a country club style race track facility) in Cresson, TX.

Moses Smith also owns and operates Texas Autosports, a full service Formula Mazda Racecar prep shop located at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX.

It features a carbon fiber chassis, 6 speed sequential gearbox, and a sealed 250 hp fuel-injected Renesis engine very similar to the one in the Mazda RX-8.

The rules allow a choice among five different spring rates at each corner, and the new Öhlins dampers offer separate bump and rebound adjustments.
