2024 Formula Pro USA Western Championship

The 2024 Formula Pro USA Western Series is the fifth season of the championship for Formula Regional and Formula 4 cars established in the West Coast of the United States. The championship is 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 began in March, with the championship spanning six weekends until November.

Teams and drivers edit

Drivers are 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 are powered by Honda and use Avon tires.[1]

New for 2024 is 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]
