Formula Works / GFC The biggest tent at COTF
GFC Southwest distributor; the GFC factory team tents alongside at big events.
The short version
Who Formula Works / GFC is
The only team that is big in every series we can see. In 2026 COTF it ran 116 finals with 15 wins and 32 podiums, the most of any team on all three counts. Its ProKart Challenge tent went from 8 spaces in 2024 to 24 in 2025 and 19 in 2026, and it was the top team we could identify in PKC Pro Shifter all three years. It scaled back at Tri-C in 2026: 23 finals over 7 rounds, after a tent on every Tri-C paddock map from late 2024 through 2025.
In 2026 it ran 213 finals across COTF America, ProKart Challenge and Tri-C Karters, with 24 wins and 63 podiums. Its biggest classes were KA100 Sr (99), KA100 Jr (64), Shifters (18).

How to read it: COTF and Tri-C 2026 list every driver’s team, so those numbers are complete. ProKart Challenge results don’t, so we link drivers through same-year race reports and see about half the 2026 field and a third or less in 2024–25. Tent size on SKUSA’s pit maps is the steadier measure there. Tri-C 2024–25 shows only what we could link, so read those as “at least”.
