The SCCA Pro Racing®-sanctioned Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas) and Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) have announced their 2026 schedules, with F4 U.S. bringing fans and competitors 18 rounds of action, while FR Americas boasts 21 rounds.

“We’re really looking forward to 2026 with FR Americas, F4 U.S., and Ligier JFC,” Scott Goodyear, Race Director, said of the F4 U.S. and FR Americas series, plus a third open-wheel series Parella Motorsports Holdings hosts, Ligier JFC. “With circuits like Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Barber Motorsports Park included on the schedule, we have some tough tracks that we know will challenge our drivers, and we’ll be able to see them develop over the course of those weekends. Likewise, there are few places in America that hold the same significance as Indianapolis Motor Speedway and racing across the yard of bricks. We incorporated feedback from our community as we built these schedules, and we’re really excited for what’s planned.”

Both series span eight months, running from late March to early October, meaning many of the young drivers will undergo quite a change as their skills mature during the competition season. That development will aid the drivers greatly in their motorsports careers as they set their sights on IMSA, Indy NXT, IndyCar, and more — especially considering many of the tracks the F4. U.S. and FR Americas series will compete on are also racetracks visited by the pro series these young drivers are eyeing.

“Each championship 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,” Goodyear added. “Pair that with the impressive wheel-to-wheel competition like we’ve seen year after year, and you’ll find that our series are a superb training ground for young drivers.”

The 2026 SCCA® National Convention will be next level stuff, and we mean it. You see, next year’s SCCA National Convention (taking place for FREE on Jan. 15-23, 2026, on virtually any internet-connected device) is themed “Level Up,” building upon the past to create the future we all want for the Club.

While we brought you information about the upcoming National Convention not too long ago, we’re back with an increasingly clear view of what’s to come.

But first…

What is the SCCA National Convention?

Put in the simplest way possible, the SCCA National Convention is a meeting of the minds. Today’s Region leaders, tomorrow’s up-and-comers, and those who simply want to discover how the Club works, gather to discuss how they can make the SCCA the best it can be. From event registration to insurance, event organization, and more, a multitude of Convention sessions are hosted by SCCA Staff, Club members, and industry experts with the sole goal of educating and informing.

Beyond that, there will be a slew of awards that are presented, including some of the top SCCA Road Racing awards, plus key Solo®, RallyCross®, RoadRally, and Region awards. This comes in addition to the SCCA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and the presentation of the Club’s highest honor, the Woolf Barnato Award.

Arguably the most important thing to know, however, is that the SCCA National Convention is held online, is completely FREE to attend, and all SCCA members are encouraged to take part.

There’s Also the Chance to Win Free Stuff

Starting with when registration opens for the SCCA National Convention on Dec. 1, 2025, SCCA members will have their shot at winning one of 10 $100 Hawk Performance gift cards. How? We’ll be back with details, but just know that it will likely involve registering for the Convention early in order to put your name in the hat for a random draw.

You’ll also be able to win honors via the Whova app. We’ll be back with more information on that, too, but like in year’s past, the SCCA National Convention will operate via the Whova app, which will go live on Dec. 16, 2025 — incidentally, that’s the same day that the complete (or near-complete) Convention schedule will be available.

Speaking of Complete Schedules

A series of Divisional Conventions will follow SCCA’s virtual National Convention. Registration links will be available soon on the SCCA National Convention webpage, but here are the dates and cities, so you can fill out your calendar.
