Cameron Racing will undertake the sales, service and track support of Spectrum Race cars in the Western U.S.; Cape Motorsport covers the East Coast territories.
he first Spectrum 014 Formula F chassis is expected mid February to begin testing.
"I'm extremely excited about this opportunity" says Cameron Racing founder and CEO Steve Cameron, "Spectrum won the 2012 US F1600 Championship and should be very strong in 2013 Pacific Formula F1600 series and SCCA National racing."
The Spectrum is designed and built in Australia by Borland Racing Developments. Borland Racing Developments has been designing and building the Spectrum Formula Ford since the late 1980s. From 1996 onwards, the chassis has enjoyed enormous success in Australia. The Spectrum has been the most successful car in Australian championship competition for more than seven years, topping the stats for most championships, pole positions, fastest race laps, race wins and lap records.
Development continues and the 2013 Spectrum 014 Formula F features revisions to the chassis and bodywork aimed at improving both the performance and safety of the car. Knowledge gained from wind tunnel and real world testing resulted in improving the car's class leading aerodynamic package.
BRD Managing Director, Mike Borland, said "We are very pleased to be able to add Cameron Racing as a distributor for Spectrum; the Cameron organization has a long and successful history in a wide variety of North American racing series. With Cape Motorsports and Cameron Racing now representing Spectrum across the US we are confident that Spectrum will be a dominate force."
About the 2013 Pacific Formula F1600 Series
Formula F1600 is the world's premier junior development category in motor sport. The Pacific Formula F1600 Series is a 6-weekend, 12-race series based on the U.S. West Coast and is designed to provide an affordable transition for drivers as young as 13 to move from karting to open-wheel racing. The formula is designed to reduce costs to about the level of a season of karting, and cars are built with a light-weight tubular space frame designed to maintain the highest levels of driver safety. The key to the category's long-term success is the uniquely level playing field dictated by the performance parity rules, allowing the differing skills of the drivers to determine the victor. The relative parity between the vehicles also guarantees the category's reputation for some of the most exciting and close racing to be seen on any American or international circuit.
No less than eight World Formula One champions have come from the F1600 open-wheel class, including Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna, Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Jody Scheckter, Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve and Mikka Hakkinen.
