Mazda champion: Bill Weaver

Bill Weaver isn't exactly sure how many Formula Car Challenge Formula Mazda titles he's earned. He just likes to go out and win races, and the rest takes care of itself.

"I've never really focused on winning the championship," he explains. "Back in the day when I was running my Formula Mazda exclusively in SCCA, I never focused on the championship, I just wanted to win races. For me, it's more fun to win the race each weekend and I've always looked at it as if you do that enough, you're more than likely to win the championship."

The Formula Car Challenge is a West Coast series for Pro Formula Mazda, FM and FormulaSPEED – a formula car built around the Mazda MZR engine – cars. The series counts among its alumni 2017 Indy Lights champ Kyle Kaiser as well as IndyCar racers Gabby Chaves and Zach Veach.
