Championship Overview

The 2014 Hanmore Formula Overdrive season is the third season for the Formula Overdrive series under the Hanmore Corporation's sanction, and the fifth season in series history. It also introduces a Formula A-style numbering system, designed to create an emphasis on the constructors' championship. Numbers were based off final 2013 race standings, with the exception of Beatrix Sting, who was permitted to run the number 24 as a tribute to her late brother, Gordon Sting.

For the first time in series history, with the exception of the American ovals, the race weekend will include two races, a feature and sprint race. The lineup for the sprint race will be determined by a random draw.

Preseason Changes

The biggest story of the offseason was the formation of the Hurricane Racing Team, after three 2013 teams (Stefano, ReinSpeed, and TexMex) merged together for 2014. Rookies Henrik Hamalainen and Natalie Balandier were hired to drive the two cars.

Harriet Wallace comes over from Dash Cup to replace Cindy Delamere at Carter Motorsports. Delamere replaces the outgoing Lydia McKenzie at ClarTech.

McSwain Technical Academy exits the series after 3 seasons to focus on their FARC efforts, but Hamilton Porteau moves over to Zukunft Legenden Motorsports.

Rossini Sport leaves the series, but sells all of their equipment to Team Berenelli.

British Formula 3 frontrunners Allaway Autosport purchase equipment and engines from Lycoia and enter the series.
