2013 Formula Overdrive season

The 2013 Hanmore Formula Overdrive season is the second season for the Formula Overdrive series under the Hanmore Corporation's sanction, and the fourth season in series history. Many of the races will be companion events for the TM Master Cup Series, ARLA Elite Series, Formula A, and Dash Cup. However, the series will headline some of their own race weekends, including the Hanmore World Championships.

The season was to consist of a 5-race European exhibition before a 18-race point paying schedule, but series officials decided to re-arrange the official schedule to remove some of the more "dangerous" American ovals and replace their race dates with the European tracks that were to make up the exhibition season after the deaths of Tiffany Matthews, Cody Keaton, Peter Kreamer, Gordon Sting and Tyson Lautenschlager at Texas. The series will hold an All-Star race during Decatur Championship Weekend for all pole and race winners.

There are 30 full-time slots, allocated to 15 teams that will race in every event. In addition, Hanmore officials are allowing several part-time entries for some races.

There are rumors that after the Texas tragedy, FO officials were reported to be in talks with Avril, who supplies chassis to several V8 Champ Car teams. If the deal goes through, Formula Overdrive could become a spec series, although teams might still be able to build their own engines.
