West Coast Series elevates the grid with premier SpeedTour partnerships and a return to iconic circuits.
World Speed is expecting to compete with four drivers in the F4 class, and two in the F3 class for 2026 – Driver announcements coming soon
The Formula Pro USA F3 and F4 Western Championships have officially announced their 2026 season schedule, revealing a robust six-weekend calendar designed to challenge drivers and maximize exposure. For the upcoming season, the series will exclusively visit the West Coast’s most iconic venues, partnering with some of the nation’s most prestigious motorsports organizations to provide a professional platform for the next generation of open-wheel talent.
Elevating the Platform: Strategic Partnerships
The 2026 season represents a significant step up in visibility for competitors. A major highlight of the new calendar is the inclusion of two marquee weekends with SpeedTour.
- The SpeedTour Advantage:
By joining this popular festival—which features the professional Trans Am Series and the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA)—Formula Pro USA drivers will compete in a high-energy, professional paddock environment with significant spectator attendance. - The Thunderhill Open:
In a new development, the series will feature as a headline group at The Thunderhill Open. This grassroots motorsports festival focuses on automotive entertainment and pure driving enjoyment, offering a unique atmosphere for teams and fans alike. - SCCA & NASA Roots: The schedule maintains the series’ foundational strength through continued collaboration with the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) and the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), including a key championship round hosted by the SCCA San Francisco Region.
Mark Milazzo, spokesperson for World Speed—the 2025 F3 and F4 Championship-winning team—emphasized the strategic value of this year’s schedule for developing drivers.
“This schedule represents an incredible blend of premier technical tracks and high-profile events. We are especially enthusiastic about the shift toward spectator-focused racing,” said Milazzo. “Partnering with groups like SpeedTour allows us to put our drivers on a bigger stage. With four of these races set to be live-streamed, it gives our open-wheel competitors a fantastic, highly visible platform to showcase their talent to a wider audience than ever before.”
