Superleague Formula

Launching in 2008, Superleague Formula (SF) will be a brand new, global Championship that connects two of the most popular sports in the world: football and motor racing.

At their heart, both sports offer fans action and drama; that is their engine, their attraction. By combining the two, we hope to create a unique blend of entertainment, passion, fair play and exhilaration – the beautiful race.

Taking motor sport back to its roots, all cars and engines will be identical, thereby putting an emphasis on the drivers’ skills and abilities.

Superleague Formula will feature 20 cars competing against one another, with each one carrying the colours and livery of major football clubs from Europe and around the world (with at least half coming from the G-14).

While none of the clubs will be required to contribute financially, the fans will invest their support, ready to embrace the symbiosis of pure racing with their football club.

At each race meeting, there will be a weekend of entertainment to enjoy, making Superleague Formula far more than a race.

It’s about giving something back to the fans because sport is nothing without them… and that’s why we want you to get involved and to take part.

This blog is the forum for you to tell us what you think (good and bad), so that we can create a new sport that has the full backing of the clubs, and the joint support of motor racing and football fans.

Superleague Formula’s simple race format will incorporate a Saturday qualification and two Sunday races – the main focal points in a packed programme.

For each round, the clubs will do battle for a weekend purse of more than 1 million euros in prize money, and points will be awarded (and prize money allocated) on a scale from first to last (1-20).

Each race team / football club will accumulate points, and the Superleague Formula Champions will be the Team with most points at the end of the season.

Saturday: Free testing and qualifying
Sunday: Two races (one with reverse grids)
One-hour race format
Simple and practical regulations in place to enhance the contest
One million Euros prize money, per race weekend
