2018 Formula Overdrive season

The 2018 NSCC Overdrive Championship Series powered by ClarTech season is the fifth season of Formula Overdrive, the first since 2014 and the first under the National Sports Car Club sanctioning.

This season features 14 weekends, with the biggest surprise in the schedule being the return of the series to the Texas Motor Speedway, holding two races, the season opener and the championship finale. Most events are expected to be around 100 miles long, with a few exceptions. The championship finale will be held in the 6-year anniversary of the ill-fated Hanmore World Championships of 2012, and is also expected to feature an abnormal number of one-off drivers.

The bodies used by the series will be supplied by Cromwell Raceworks, with all engines being made by ClarTech Engineering, effectively turning the series into a spec formula series, seeking to lower racing costs.

The cars will be powered by 3-liter (214 cubic inches) dual-overhead cam V8 engines. The weight (including driver and driver gear) for all cars is 1,500 pounds. Fuel cell capacity is 25 U.S. gallons.

Calendar
13 of the 14 events will take place in the United States, with Circuit ICAR in Mirabel, Québec receiving the only non-american round.
