Series 2 - 1974 - 1976

For 1974, Josef Hoppen, Special Vehicles Manager of Volkswagen of America, and head of the motorsport department at VW, decided that he owed no particular loyalty to the SCCA and moved half of the Super Vee series of races to IMSA, which was headed by former SCCA Chief, John Bishop. 

At this time, the decision was made to allow slicks and a short time later in 1975, allow wings and tabs for down force.  The wings were approved for the first race at Daytona in 1975, but the approval came so late the none of the FSV's came equipped as such. The winged cars first appeared at Sebring in 1975.

Also new in 1974 was the addition of the Robert Bosch Gold Cup as a Professional Racing Series which started a very confusing period of time for these cars as there were then two series for FSV's. 

• One was the SCCA series which ran seven (7) races
• The second was the IMSA series, which also ran seven (7) races.

Political disagreements ensued and in 1976, Josef Hoppen pulled the Robert Bosch Gold Cup for FSV's out of IMSA as a form of punishment to the sanctioning body. 

IMSA in turn replaced the FSV's with Formula Atlantic.

In 1974 a new Formula Super Vee era began. The series featured fourteen races, two of them outside the United States. Races abroad were run at Mosport Park, Canada and Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Mexico. Series organizer, Josef Hoppen, was not loyal to any specific sanctioning body. Half of the races, including the races abroad, were sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association. . The co-sanctioning continued for 1975 but ended before the 1976 season. Political disagreement resulted in Hoppen pulling the Formula Super Vee Robert Bosch championship out of IMSA. As a response IMSA created the Formula Atlantic class and USAC created the Mini-Indy Series Formula Super Vee
