The Formula 4 United States Championship is an auto racing series that is held under FIA Formula 4 regulations. The championship is sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing, the professional racing division of the Sports Car Club of America, in conjunction with the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States, the United States representative to the FIA.[1] It is a spec series, with all competitors using the same chassis and engine.
The championship is designed to support North American drivers entering international open-wheel racing, by using the same regulations used by other series globally, rather than compete with the existing IndyCar Road to Indy ladder, with the drivers earning points towards an FIA Superlicence. Originally, it served as an initial step into car racing for drivers graduating from karting, but that level was supplanted by the JSF4 Championship, launched in 2024 with the previous generation cars in order to give drivers another entry level series where the champion earns a funded ride to the United States F4 Championship.[2]
