Create a grassroots motor sport programme
Motor Sport Development
The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), with the endorsement of ACCUS, the ASN, aimed to create a grassroots motor sport programme that would involve hosting 80-100 events across the USA with a total programme entry of 6000 participants. The aim of the programme was to encourage an increase in motor sport participation and to establish motor sport pathways to higher levels. The organisation also planned to work with schools to develop a programme for young students, develop a school curriculum that creates the confidence and understanding needed to take part in future events and create the potential for future worldwide participation.
2016
Introduce FIA Formula 4 concept to the USA
Safety
The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), with the endorsement of ACCUS, the ASN, aimed to introduce the FIA’s F4 concept to the USA to provide a lower cost entry-level car formula series in the country. The organisation also planned to build the series so that it met both the FIA and the Sports Car Club of America’s goals, and provided value through sponsor partnerships that encouraged growth of a strong formula car ladder in the USA. The success of the initiative, which was to involve training for all drivers involved in the new series, was to be measured by the acceleration of the growth of open wheel motorsports within the USA. More specifically, success would mean resetting the open wheel ladder system within the USA to provide a clear lower cost and complete open wheel ladder system from Formula 4 to Formula 2 or Formula Atlantic.

Development of in-cockpit safety light system

Development and rollout of an affordable instantaneous in-cockpit safety light / leader light system tied direct to race officials timing and scoring system to replace human powered flags and track systems.

USAC will make the majority of the investment of the project, and when complete make the new TracSAFE system intellectual property available to all ASNs for use globally. The aim of the activity is to vastly decrease caution delays, and vastly improve safety in grassroots motorsports where more than 90% of fatal injuries occur. Activity is made by the United States Auto Club. The application is endorsed by ACCUS as the ASN.
