Atlantic Archives
1976: Two series were run -- one in the US sanctioned by IMSA and one in Canada sanctioned
by CASC.
1976: The most famous race took place at Trois-Rivières, consisting of imported Formula 1 drivers James Hunt (eventual World Champion that year), Alan Jones, Vittorio Brambilla, and Patrick Depailler. The race was won by regular Atlantic competitor, Gilles Villeneuve.
1976: Gilles Villeneuve wins nine races in ten starts.
1980-81: This is Gilles younger brother, not his son.
1984: After the FIA's attempt to globalize Formula Atlantic into Formula Mundial left the class in shambles, a Western sub-series, started the year before, was all that was left in the US, becaming by de-facto the premier Atlantic championship.
1985-90: An Eastern series began thus splitting the championship.
1988: First oval race was run at Milwaukee won by Jocko Cunningham.
1991: The series is unified into one national championship.
1996: Patrick Carpentier wins a record eight consecutive races, all from the pole, and record tying nine for the season.
2003: A.J. Allmendinger wins all of his seven races from the pole. Ties record for most poles (9) with Gilles Villeneuve. Jonathan Macri completes every lap.
2004: Jon Fogarty becomes the first driver to win more than one championships that were not consecutive.
2005: Katherine Legge becomes first woman to win an Atlantics race.
2012: After series folds after 2009, Formula Race Promotions starts new series sanctioned by SCCA. It folds after one year, but then is revived in 2014.
2017: Series is sanctioned by USAC.
2019: Series is sanctioned by SCCA.
