CHANDLER, Ariz. – The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, a leader in advanced driver training for more than four decades, is proud to announce the new Bondurant Championship Race Series.

The Bondurant Championship Race Series begins this September for the 2009-2010 race season and includes 18 races over nine weekends utilizing three different tracks at Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix, Ariz.

Drivers will be competing in one of Bondurant’s newly acquired, purpose-built Formula Mazda race cars each weekend, participating in Friday testing rounds followed by qualifying and racing on Saturday and Sunday. The race cars are powered by 13B Mazda rotary engines and equipped with proper Goodyear racing slicks and 4-speed Hewland gearboxes.

Bondurant’s Formula Mazdas offer a true racecar experience in a race series open to anyone 15 years or older that is a driver of “good standing” with the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving.

“The Bondurant Championship Race Series is designed for anyone from the young aspiring driver who wants to take it to the next level to graduates of the Bondurant School who are looking for the next life-changing opportunity,” said Bob Bondurant, CEO of the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. “Participants can simply ‘arrive and drive’ at our facility and secure a good deal of track time – eight or nine driving sessions each weekend! Our new race series is a great, inexpensive way to race and earn points toward a championship.”

If you have what it takes to race at the best high performance driving school in the country, be the first to join the Bondurant Championship Race Series.

Cost to participate in the Championship Race Series is $3,495 per event, which includes car rental, instruction and maintenance of the vehicle. Participants bring their own safety equipment including suits, gloves, head and neck restraints.
