Records |
Formula Community is an upcoming team-funded series built from the ground up solely on the team owner's voting power. Initially each of the entering teams were able to invest up to £500,000 to buy in to the series, which bought a share of the voting power. Teams then had to use their remaining cash to purchase vehicles and hire drivers.

Voting Process
A unique draw-card for Formula Community is that almost every aspect of the competition has been decided by voting. As each team's voting power is dependent on the share owned of the competition, it is not necessarily number of votes that decides each ballot. For a decision to be made, a >50% majority must be achieved (unless down to two options), meaning that if no option has a majority second preferences come into play.
Issue 1 - Location of Series
Teams voted on which continent to base the series, although the decision did not preclude races from being held on other continents, if voted on later. The following options were available:
- Europe
- North America
- Asia - including Australia and New Zealand
- South America
- Africa
Asia took an early lead following the first round of voting, but did not achieve the required majority. As North America, South America and Africa did not have the required votes to achieve a majority, they were eliminated from the voting process and the second round began. In a surprising turnaround, it was Europe that took some late preferences to edge out Asia.
