    WELCOME TO THE USF 2000 AWESOME CLUB TRACK SERIES

    The reason this series is called "Awesome Club Track Series", is because the tracks listed in this series (with the exception of Goodwood maybe) are not generally known by the majority of sim racers. They are only rarely used for online sim-racing and mostly driven in private off-line sessions by a handful of drivers. Not because the tracks are bad, but because the tracks are simply not on the radar of most sim drivers. But these chosen club tracks of this series are, as described in the title, truly awesome.

    And what better car to race them with, than the 5-star rated USF 2000 mod. This mod has been used many times for online racing because of its high-quality physics and racing pleasure.

    Car info
    The Cooper Tires USF2000 Series an accessible American open wheel series officially sanctioned by INDYCAR, is a popular proving ground for ambitious drivers wanting to progress to the next level.

    The USF2000 car, powered by Mazda, from Van Diemen is an excellent entry-level low-downforce car. It’s grippy, yet nimble. While it can be tail happy at times, it remains catchable and is always rewarding to throw around. We’ve enjoyed some very close, smile-on-your-face, wheel-to-wheel racing testing out the limits of the USF2000. Daring overtakes and massive trail braking really show off it’s capabilities.

    The 2016 spec USF2000 uses Van Diemen/Elan DP08 chassis and is powered by Mazda's MZR 2 liter, 4 cylinder DOHC engine with fuel-injectors, tuned by Elite Engines to 170 hp thus capable of achieving a top speed of about 150 mph.

    The car is available in two classes: the Championship class with a 5 speed sequential gearbox, and the slightly lower tier National class, with two transmission choices – the 5 speed (same as in the Championship class, but with a 50 lb weight penalty) and an older, 4 speed H-shifter variant available with three different final ratios.
