1993 Life Grand Prix Series season
From Formula Rejects Wiki
1993 Life Grand Prix Series | |
Previous: 1992 | Next: 1994 (cancelled) |
The 1993 Life Grand Prix Series season was the third and ultimately final season of the Life Grand Prix Series. The calendar was expanded further into a total of 20 races all across the world, which was ultimately one of the main causes of the series' demise. Also, the number of starters at each race was no longer fixed to a certain amount, but instead varied throughout the season based on each track's capabilities.

- 1 - James Davies was injured in an accident at the Grand Prix of Argentina. Jan van der Maeyede moved from Al Smith Racing to replace him for the duration of his injury, while the now-vacant Al Smith Racing seat was filled by Algernon Bell.
