2024 F1 CHAMPION -

TONY PHALEN

UF1 Commissioner #2 wins again!! 

In his second season back as a racer, Tony Phalen captures the overall UF1 Championship! 

Tony's 2024 season started out incredibly rocky by missing the first round from illness. This meant Tony had burned all three of his season throw-outs with 0's to start the 2024 season. Tony's season would prove to be very difficult due to every single round having to count towards his overall season total. 

Tony was able to win 2 overall race days, and place on the podium for 5 out of the 6 rounds in 2024! He was also able to minimize his worst single main finish to 93 points [5th place]. 

Winning an overall UF1 championship is tough! It is a long season, and there is so much that can go wrong. The key to success is ensuring that you are placing consistently and minimizing bad rounds. Driver's need to be quick at all tracks and on all surfaces.... Being fast on one surface isn't enough to win this series. Tony's experience and patience through the entire season is a testament to his skill and UF1 dominance. 

Team R1 Wurks has now won the Overall Championship and Constructor Championship 2 consecutive seasons. Will a new team / driver rise up to challenge the dominance displayed by Team R1 Wurks in 2025???

2023/2024 F1 CHAMPION - THAD GARNER

The man - the myth - the legend...

Thad won fast lap points for 3/4 rounds this year. His R1 equipped Exotek Racing chassis was fast and consistent all season long. 

Believe it or not, Thad did not win a round this season! His consistent overall finishes and minimal throw-outs were enough to keep him ahead of the pack all season long. This goes to show that consistency is far more important in the UF1 series than blistering speed!!! 

2023/2024 F2 CHAMPION - danny gaines

Danny had a solid season all year long! 

He did a fantastic job limiting mistakes and keeping his throw out rounds to a minimum. Danny finished many round with low 90's, which is fantastic for the F2 field! 

The lime green machine was at the top of the F2 field all season long and proves how quick and consistent he could be on varying surfaces! 

We are all really happy for Danny winning the overall F2 championship and look forward to seeing him improve his skills with the F1 guys.
