The 2024 Formula Pro USA Western Series will be the fifth season of the championship for Formula Regional and Formula 4 cars established in the West Coast of the United States. The championship will be promoted and organized by Exclusive Racing and Exclusive Auctions, and will run under the same sporting regulations as the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional Americas Championship and Formula 4 United States Championship.

It will begin in March with a one-weekend Winter Series, with the main championship spanning six weekends from March to October.

Teams and drivers

Drivers will be able to enter either the FPUSA-3 or the FPUSA-4 class, with the former using a Ligier JS-F3 car and the latter a Ligier JS-F4 car. All cars will be powered by Honda and use Avon tires.[1]

New for 2024 will be the addition of the Formula Pro Women's Racing Series, a female-only class running alongside the main championship, also using the Ligier JS-F4.[2]

Race calendar

The 2024 calendar is planned to be held over twelve races spanning across six weekends, with an additional winter series round held three weeks before the main series.[3] The series will race at the same four circuits as the previous year.
