La escudería anunció su decisión de participar en IndyCar Series el 11 de Marzo y tomó parte en su primera carrera, la Indy 200 Copper World Classic en Phoenix International Raceway, a escasos 11 días después. Fernández Racing se fundó en el otoño del 2000 después de que Fernández, quien logró el subcampeonato en CART ese año con el equipo Patrick Racing, y el veterano en el deporte motor Tom Anderson, director de Target/Chip Ganassi Racing, decidieron unir fuerzas. En tan sólo tres meses, Fernández Racing creció, iniciando de cero a ser un equipo con dos autos debutando en competencias de automovilismo codo a codo "open wheel" en el 2001. El año pasado, Fernández Racing disfrutó de la mejor temporada que ha tenido a la fecha. Fernández capturó su primer triunfo como propietario/piloto, y terminó la temporada de CART finalizando 13 ocasiones consecutivas dentro de los puntos para asegurarse la octava posición en el ranking del campeonato final. Fernández Racing es el equipo hermano de Super Aguri Fernández Racing, formado en Diciembre del 2002 por el expiloto de Fórmula Uno Aguri Suzuki, por la Compañía Super Aguri Company y Adrián Fernández, Fernández Racing. Super Aguri Fernández Racing incluye en sus filas al talentoso novato Japonés Kosuke Matsuura en el auto #55 Panasonic ARTA Panoz G Force/Honda/Firestone. Ambas escuderías operan en un flamante taller de 27,000 pies cuadrados ubicado en Indianápolis. 3 Resumen del Equipo TABLA DE DESEMPEÑO DEL EQUIPO (CART – CHAMP CAR WORLD SERIES) Año Piloto Patrocinador/Auto Motor/Chasis Triunfos Poles Top 5 Top 10 Mejor Posición Ranking 2003 Adrián Tecate/Quaker State/ Ford-Cosworth/Lola 1 1 4 11 1˚ 8˚ Fernández Telmex 2002 Adrián Tecate/Quaker State/ Honda/Lola 0 2 2 7 2˚ 14˚ Fernández Telmex Shinji Alpine/Mitsuba Honda/Lola 0 0 2 6 4˚ 17˚ Nakano Max Tecate/Quaker State/Honda/Lola 0 0 0 0 14˚ 19˚ Papis* Telmex Luis Tecate/Quaker State/Honda/Lola 0 0 0 0 19˚ 23˚ Diaz* Telmex 2001 Adrián Tecate/Quaker State/ Honda/Reynard 0 0 3 5 3˚ 18˚ Fernández Telmex Shinji Avex/Alpine Honda/Reynard 0 0 0 2 8˚ 26˚ Nakano Total 1 3 11 31 *Max Papis sustituyó a Fernández en Mid-Ohio y Fontana, y Luis Díaz en Ciudad de México. 4 Patrocinadores de Fernández Racing Quaker State El grupo Quaker State México, provee aceites de calidad tanto al mercado comercial, como al consumidor en general.

Not content to stay stagnate, our Club Racing program continues to evolve. In 2011, we began the BFGoodrich Tires SCCA Super Tour program. With the help of our partner, BFGoodrich Tires, the series expanded to nine events for 2012, and included one special event in each division. These race weekends featured elements that aren’t always available at National Races, adding to the competitors’ experi- ence. We also unveiled the Majors program in the middle part of the coun- try this season, giving racers in the Rocky Mountain, Midwest and Southwest Divisions an opportunity to run for a larger championship without having to travel the country.

Dear SCCA Media Partners, Welcome to what is truly a new era of the Sports Car Club of America, as the SCCA National Champi- onship Runoffs heads west for the first time in 46 years to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This event, made possible with the help of our friends and partners at Mazda and the Sports Car Rac- ing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), was met with questions at its announcement that have been answered in a big way, with more than 530 drivers on the entry list and a rejunvenaton of the west coast program all season long. While we haven’t been west of the Rockies since River- side International Raceway in 1968, it’s hard to believe it will be that long before we return again. The question on everyone’s mind, even more than usual, is who is going to win? Are there hidden gems on the west coast who may be making their first Runoffs appearance that will make a name for themselves on the national stage, or will the traditional contenders learn a new track quickly enough to hold their titles? My guess is that we’ll see some of each.
