Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas), Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) and Ligier JS F4 Series (JS F4) have announced their 2025 race schedules. Mixing some of the most iconic circuits in North America with some of the best training grounds for young talent, each series will have a calendar focused on driver development and safety. In total, eight tracks are featured, as FR Americas competes at all eight venues, F4 U.S. at seven and JS F4 at six of the renowned circuits.

“We’re really looking forward to 2025 with FR Americas, F4 U.S. and JS F4,” said Race Director Scott Goodyear. “We’ve incorporated a lot of feedback from our community while building these schedules, and we’re excited with what’s planned. To have Barber Motorsports Park and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on the schedule — those are tracks where drivers are really challenged and you see them develop over the course of the weekend.

“Likewise, there’s few places in America that hold the same significance as racing across the yard of bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Each series continues to deliver great value with the lowest cost per mile compared to other professional racing series in North America, as well as the other Formula 4 and Formula Regional championships around the globe. Pair that with the impressive wheel-to-wheel competition like we’ve seen this season, and you’ll find that our series are a superb training ground for young drivers.”

As has become a tradition over the last few years, all three championships will open their season at NOLA Motorsports Park while headlining a special open-wheel weekend in The Big Easy. From there, it’s off to Elkhart Lake, Wis., where all three championships will take on the challenging Road America. Next, FR Americas will once again have the honor of racing across the yard of bricks as competitors take on Indianapolis Motor Speedway over Father’s Day weekend.

The following weekend, all three championships will reconvene at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Everyone will return to New Jersey Motorsports Park, which offers some of the most competitive racing all year. Then, FR Americas and F4 U.S. will head north of the border to race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park over Labor Day weekend. Following a one-year hiatus, all three series will return to VIRginia International Raceway, before closing out the season and crowning the 2025 champions at the highly-anticipated Barber Motorsports Park.

JS F4, F4 U.S. and FR Americas combine to form a powerful ladder on the Road to F1. Graduates of the championships have consistently advanced their careers, with alumni among the starting fields of the Indianapolis 500, IndyCar, FIA Formula 3, IMSA, NASCAR, Super Formula, Indy NXT and more. One of the most powerful ways that the championships provide a forward trajectory is through scholarship programs, which include everything from champion-winning scholarships, to diversity scholarships, and a karts-to-cars scholarship program.

In 2025, the Ligier JS F4 Series driver champion will once again win a scholarship to compete in F4 U.S. the following season. Valued at $186,700, the prize includes the lease of an F4 U.S. chassis and Ligier Storm engine from Ligier Automotive, two sets of tires per event from Hankook Motorsports and race entry fees from Parella Motorsports Holdings (PMH).

The 2025 F4 U.S. driver champion will also receive a scholarship to step up to the next level — FR Americas — the following season. The winner will be provided the use of a JS F3 chassis from Ligier Automotive, an F3 engine developed, engineered and provided by Mountune, three sets of tires per event from Hankook Motorsports, and race entry fees from PMH, for a package valued at $264,900. Both scholarship prizes cover the full cost of the season, excluding testing, prep and travel costs.

Details for the revamped FR Americas driver champion prize will be announced in the coming weeks.

FR Americas, F4 U.S. and JS F4 will close out their current season, crowning their champions at Circuit of The Americas, October 31-November 3. Tickets for the COTA SpeedTour are available now at SpeedTour.net. Fans at home will be able to enjoy a live stream of the weekend’s action, available on the SpeedTourTV YouTube Channel.
