Formula Continental Explained

Formula Continental is a single seater, open wheel racing class in motorsports.[1] It replaced Formula C as a Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) racing class.

Most Formula Continental cars are Formula Ford 2000 (FF2000) models, which is a flat bottomed, steel tube frame open wheel car with smaller wings and a 2-liter engine derived from the steel blocked Ford Pinto, Ford Zetec, or Mazda MZR engines.
