Acceleration 2014

Acceleration 2014 was a multi-day festival combining top class car and bike racing with live music and other entertainment. The festival was organised by the International Sport Racing Association (ISRA), based in the Netherlands, and was held six times in 2014, starting 25–27 April in Portimao, Portugal and ending 17–19 October in Assen, Netherlands. The various racing competitions were Formula Acceleration 1 (FA1), the MW-V6 Pickup Series, the Legend SuperCup (LSC), the (ACC 1000) and the (ACC 600). Competing drivers in one or more classes each drove a vehicle representing his or her country of origin.

The 2014 calendar consisted of six race weekends. Originally, ten were planned. However, Acceleration in Zolder, Acceleration at Paul Ricard, and Acceleration at Grobnik were cancelled on 27 June 2014 and Acceleration at Hungaroring was cancelled on 21 August 2014.

Each FA1 team will represent a nation. Their drivers may have a different nationality, but the car should represent the country. The winning driver/team is entitled to the full budget for the 2015 FA1 season and a test day in the GP2 Series car in Abu Dhabi.

All cars are mechanically identical and have been built with reducing costs in mind, which has led to an approximate price for the whole season of €450,000. FA1 will use the Lola B05/52, used in the A1 Grand Prix between 2005 and 2008.

The starting order of race 3 will be decided by a combined result of Q1 and Q2 with the first 8 reversed. For race 1 and 2, the top 10 finishers score points in the following order: 20, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1. For race 3, the top 10 finishers score points in the following order: 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1. The drivers' champion is entitled to a test day in the 2015 FA1 car plus either half the budget for the 2015 FA1 season or the full budget for the 2015 MW-V6 season.
