The Series will be operated by Formula Race Promotions, which has grown considerably since launching the F2000 Championship Series in 2006. USF4 will follow the sporting regulations and provide seven race weekends per year, with three races per weekend and a minimum of three hours of track time per event.

Mygale F4 cars will be imported through partners Mygale North America, which has been both a competitor in the F1600 Championship Series and the importer for the Mygale SJ FF car for the last four seasons.

The French-built car will be mated to a 1.6 liter Ford EcoBoost engine, producing the Fandated 160hp. Each F4 car will be shod with spec Hoosier tires produced specifically to work within set guidelines.

The F4 specification has already proved successful around the world, with championships running in Italy, England, Germany, and Spain with Australia, China and other countries joining for 2016. 

An F4 car was recently on display at the Formula Race Promotions event at the new Pittsburgh International Race Complex. Complete cars are available for order now.

Interested teams and drivers should contact Mygale North America at (727) 504-1414 or the Series at 855-722-3377.
