With everyone prepping for the 2024 season, what teams will fall apart? what teams will be created? Who will go it alone in 2024?

Do you expect any new super teams to be created this year? 

What will be the fate of Martini Racing [current champions]??

Please submit your current or new team info to UF1 once available.

Info includes: 

-Team name

-Both driver names

The 2023 / 2024 season has come to a close, and over 14,000 laps were completed this year! 

After all the points were counted:

F1 Championship belongs to Thad Garner

F1 Constructors Championship belongs to Team Martini Racing 

F2 Championship belongs to Danny Gaines

The 2024 season will be starting earlier this year. Our hope is to end the season just before the holidays, and more closely mimic the real F1 season. Our first round kicks off at The Lap Factory on May 5th, 2024!! We hope to see many new faces with the additional supper class [Super Tub GT] :) 

The new website is live! 

We hope that everyone enjoys the new features and layout :) 

Take some time to cruise around. We have placed a lot of legacy pictures all over the website 

We look forward to the future of www.UF1rcacing.com

Sad News today guys- Cal Raceway will be unable to continue business in its current location due to an incoming charter school that overtake the soccer gym and rc track. We have had an amazing 28 year run at this location but the sad reality will be that the gates will permanently lock March 15th at 7pm. Our papers have been provided by the property manager and there is unfortunately nothing me or Jeff at soccer Can do… TCS round is canceled. I am currently looking for a place to open the business back up but for the next couple months I will be putting on races at other host tracks. It has been an honor to work alongside Mike and a unique privilege to “own” a track. I will make an effort to Open as many days as possible until our closing date. I’m heartbroken but proud of what we have done and hopefully we can find a smooth patch of pavement and keep the Cal brand going. Thank you to all who have supported this raceway.

Races before we close:

• Feb 25th

• March 3rd

• March 9th (UF1)

• March 10th

Looking past our closure:

• March 23rd club race Cal @ Rev

• May 25th Scale Champs will be held at Camarillo.

The new UF1racing.com website has begun construction!!! 

We have spent a lot of time cataloging everything and formatting it to mobile friendly. 

Hopefully everyone enjoys the new format and environment. 

Please reach out to aaron.lane@uf1rcracing.com if there are any website issues.

The UF1 has been an amazing Series to be a part of, travelling to a bunch of different tracks, reaching out to quite a few states, all with the intent of bringing F1 RC to the masses. We’ve seen a ton of progress in this segment – amazing car designs, fancy new electronics and, more recently, competitive body styles and a killer line of tires.

We’ve also seen many big races around the globe use ‘UF1 Rules’, a testament to the amazing Series Mr. Lightfoot started. I’m just proud that I got to be a part of it and, hopefully, helped keep it pointed in the direction he envisioned.

However, all good things must come to an end. It’s been an amazing 11 years since I acquired the UF1 from the man, the myth, the legend. It’s become a bit of a monster to manage and, with the wife and I talking about doing some travelling, I’ve been looking for the right person to take the helm.

With that, I’d like to introduce the new owner of the UF1, Aaron Lane. Aaron comes from and engineering background and is an avid F1 racer. He is a past UF1 Champion, stood on the podium many times last season and was a candidate for the overall Championship win, however something about a honeymoon might have cost him that title LOL  He’s not afraid to speak up when something seems off (a trait he’s going to need to run this thing) and I honestly feel he’ll be a great asset to the Series.

I will still be helping him with the website, however he’ll be the guy who makes all the decisions and answers all the questions.

Please take a moment and welcome Aaron – I’m sure he’s excited to get this train on the tracks again. We’ll be posting some follow-up info on the updated rules and schedule shortly.

Finally, thanks to all the drivers that have come out to support the UF1. It’s been a really fun ride and I can’t wait to see where it goes. Now, time to get a car together…
