Race Series

Launched in 2014, FIA Formula 4 was created to offer young, aspiring racers the opportunity to take the first step from karting into the world of single-seater racing. Designed to be a globally-recognized, yet affordable step between karting and single-seater racecars, FIA F4 allows drivers to compare themselves to the best young talent, not only in their own country, but across other F4 Championships around the world. In 2017, FIA launched the Formula Regional Championship to offer young racers another step after FIA F4 to progress their careers in the world of open-wheel racing.

In the United States, the FIA and SCCA Pro Racing joined forces to launch the F4 U.S. Championship in 2016, and FR Americas soon followed in 2018.

Both Championships have continued to grow thanks to support of Parella Motorsports Holdings and key series partners. With several alums going on to reach the top levels of motorsport, FR Americas and F4 U.S. have proven to be some of the fastest ways for an aspiring driver to gain experience to an international racing platform. With driver training, unmatched affordability and strong manufacturer support, competitors can grow and succeed into the higher levels of motorsports

With F4 U.S. and FR Americas devised as the initial steps on the Road  to F1, the newly-rebranded Ligier JS F4 Series will strengthen the  current ladder system while providing another avenue for drivers to race  single-seater cars. 

As the FIA-certified F4 U.S. Championship transitions to the new  Ligier JS F422 chassis and Ligier Storm power in 2024, the Ligier JS F4  Series provides teams and drivers that own the existing chassis with a  place to compete, and offers an additional development opportunity for  drivers moving up from karts to single-seater racecars.

Keeping the ladder system in mind, the 2024 scholarship program is  designed to assist champions in their career trajectory, providing  opportunities to achieve the next step in their racing career.

The 2024 Ligier JS F4 Series Driver Champion will win a scholarship  to compete in F4 U.S. the following season with the use of a JS F422  chassis and engine from Ligier, two sets of tires per event from Hankook  and race entry fees from Parella Motorsports Holdings (PMH); the prize  is valued at $133,600. 

Additionally, the 2024 F4 U.S. Driver Champion and FR Americas Driver  Champion will also be awarded scholarships to assist in the next step  of their careers.
