IFCA - International Forza Club Association

Okay racers, time for the latest greatest Newsletter update from the original innovators of our beloved hobby i.e., the IFCA!

As with any product or service, the life of that product or service depends on the economic constraints imposed on them. Simply put, when there is too much supply, demand dwindles, and when demand increases, supply rises. The same is true in the Forza league racing community. Each league has multiple series events too often overlapping each other. Concerned by this glut of series events being offered by so many different leagues resulting in relatively small events most of the time, we at the IFCA are going to reduce the number of series we offer.

We think this will do a number of positive things for the league racing community as a whole. 1.) It will help create fuller lobbies and more sign-ups. 2.) It will enable all racers to have more opportunity to "travel" to other league events and sample different formats. 3.) It will allow more time to promote IFCA events making them better. 4.) It will free up more time for IFCA competitors to participate in other leagues without the risk of missing any IFCA event. 5.) It will give greater meaning and importance to each league's event because of larger sign-ups. 6.) It will help open up more time for practice between events and rounds. 7.) It should make the entire league scene healthier in that members from the IFCA or wherever can freely migrate from one league to another.

This increased mix of competitors bouncing around to all the different league events will bring about more accurate ratings, greater uniformity, and popularity. This in turn will then naturally promote a smoother transition and attraction to create an annual or semi-annual mega-championship like what is being talked about by league leaders now.

With all of this said, we will retire both the Thursday night "Super Spec" series, and the Sunday night "Grand Am" series. This leaves "ALMS Endurance" Saturday mornings, old school "Glory Days" on Sunday mornings, and "Bone Stock" Monday nights. This, we hope, will free up everyone's schedules a little more and promote more socialization between leagues and their drivers. We highly recommend and support that everyone at some point or another go compete at any of the events at TORA, SimRacers, VM, ISRA, FMC, or RWS.

The IFCA staff is excited to have the free time to explore events at the other leagues listed, and we hope to see you there too!

Have fun, and see you at the track!
