2024 Formula Regional Americas Championship
The 2024 Formula Regional Americas Championship is 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 is promoted by SCCA Pro Racing, the professional racing division of the Sports Car Club of America.
Crosslink Kiwi Motorsports, the only multi-car team, defended their Teams' Championship title, claiming it in the first race of round five.
Teams and drivers
[edit]All drivers compete with Ligier JS F3 cars on Hankook tires. All teams are American-registered. After having used Honda powertrains for all of its history, the series switched to using Ligier 1.65-litre V4 ‘Storm’ engines in 2024.[1]

Race calendar
[edit]The 2024 calendar was announced on 4 October 2023. The championship will not visit Virginia International Raceway as it did the year before, but will instead debut at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. The number of championship races increased from 18 to 19, as the events at Mid-Ohio and COTA only held two races each.[13] FR Americas also held a non-championship invitational event at Laguna Seca, visiting the Western US for the first time.[14]
