Formula Race Promotions is Back on Track This Weekend
“First green flag of 2020 is just around the corner”
In what could be classified as the longest offseason in history, the Formula Race Promotions program is back on track this coming weekend at the ultra-fast Pittsburgh International Race Complex(PittRace) in Wampum, Pennsylvania. With the start of the season on hold due to the global wide COVID-19 pandemic, series officials, teams and competitors are all anxious and excited to see the first green flag of 2020.
“It is still a trying time all across our country as the unemployment rate has hit record numbers and a lot of businesses are still not open,” explained FRP Co-Owner Bob Wright. “Fortunately, we have been able to alter our schedule by changing dates and locations to try and run a complete season. Entries have continued to trickle in since registration opened, and we are excited to see our extended motorsports family this weekend. 2020 has been a weird year, but we look to return to some normalcy this weekend at the racetrack.”
Taking on the 2.78-mile, 19-turn, natural terrain road course, Formula Race Promotions competitors in F2000, F1600, F1000, Atlantic,RCFFS and Challenge Cup will hit the track on Friday for multiple test sessions before two separate race days commence Saturday and Sunday.

Wright added, “We had two great series online for our FRPiRacing Challenge, but nothing beats real life, wheel-to-wheel racing. We thank all of our customers, both the teams and the drivers as well as our sponsors, partners and vendors for the support over the past few months, and we will look to repay you with one of the best programs we have ever put together.”
