International Formula Master, also known as Formula Super 2000, is a European-based junior single seater formula. The series was conceived as a competitor for Formula Three and made its debut at Valencia in 2007.

Background

The series was created by N.Technology, who had previously been involved in motorsport as an Alfa Romeo works team.cite journal |last=Straw |first=Edd |date=May 17, 2007 |title=Master plan begins |journal=Autosport |volume=188 |issue=7 |pages=pp. 20] Eurosport, the European satellite channel, are backing the series and the series will be regularly supporting the World Touring Car Championship during its European races.

Venues

The championship consists of eight events, each comprising two races, held at a variety of European circuits. Each venue is in a different country. Notable venues include Pau in France; Brands Hatch in Britain; Brno in the Czech Republic; Porto in Portugal; and Monza in Italy.

Technical and sporting regulations

The series is a one-make series in that only one type of car is allowed - the Formula 2000 made by Tatuus. The cars are powered by a Honda K20A engine, built according to the FIA S2000 regulations with approximately 250 HP.

Event schedule

Each race weekend begins on Friday, with two 45-minute practice sessions and a 30-minute qualifying session that decides the starting grid for the first race. There are two races; one of approximately 75km on Saturday and one of approximately 100km on Sunday.cite web | title = Formula Master: Racing Meetings | url = http://www.formulamaster.net/ENG/2006_Intro_RacingMeetings.asp | accessdate = 2007-05-18 ]

With just one qualifying session, the grid for the second race is determined by the results of Race 1. The top eight positions are reversed, giving pole position to the 8th-placed finisher.

coring system

In both races of the weekend, points are awarded to the top eight finishers, with 10 points for a win. Teams will only score from their two highest placed cars.
