The 2024 Formula Regional Americas Championship wil be the seventh season of a FIA-sanctioned F3 series across North America, and the fifth season under the Formula Regional moniker after a rebrand in 2020. The series will be promoted by SCCA Pro Racing, the professional racing division of the Sports Car Club of America.
Teams and drivers
All drivers will compete with Ligier JS F3 cars on Hankook tires. After having used Honda powertrains for all of its history, the series will switch to using Ligier 1.65-litre V4 ‘Storm’ engines in 2024.[1]
