Fall of Formula A in ESPLAR

The Fall of Formula A refers to a series of events that led to the collapse of all International Formula Management's Formula racing series and the destruction of Motor Racing Conglomerate (MRC) and all of its related and child companies in early 2019 prior to the start of the 2019 season. Formula A, Formula B, and many regional Formulae racing series which defined the auto racing class for many decades were declared defunct almost immediately following IFM and MRC's collapse, which overnight put hundreds of drivers without a ride. Many fans across the globe were left in the dark regarding details which caused IFM and MRC to collapse, although with IFM's self-declared successor the International Formula Racing Committee's Formula NX nearly everything returned to normal with most of the drivers from the former IFM leagues finding rides elsewhere.

The following year in 2020, IFRC declared the return of most, if not all, of IFM's former formulae racing series under new names. Some regional series which had survived the collapse of IFM up to this point, including Formula Nippon, were brought into the IFRC fold.

That April, 2018 Formula Sigma champion Lean Campana released a memorandum through Altruras Radio-Television KATR-09 which finally declassified hidden files and documents related to IFM's and MRC's activities, bringing to light all of their suspicious activities and acts of corruption which damaged Formula A's reputation in the 2010s.
