Designed to be globally recognized yet an affordable step between karting and F3, the F4 car was constructed to keep costs down while providing an ideal learning tool for young drivers who have never raced cars before. The series offers more value and benefits than any other form of entry-level open-wheel racing at a low cost. In 2015, SCCA Pro Racing and the FIA combined forces to create the Formula 4 United States Championship. F4 teams and drivers are aligned with the FIA and series partners: Honda, Honda Performance Development, Ligier, Hankook Tire America. Stepping into the F4 series builds upon the progression offered from karting both on and off the track. The series offers developmental educational programs that cover everything from driving preparation to marketing and public relations. The inaugural season included five event weekends with 15 races. A total of 19 drivers and nine teams competed over the course of the season. The field for season two doubled in size with an average of 33 cars participating in the 20-race season. Even with record-breaking grid sizes in its second season and the launch of the new F3 Americas, the car count for season three maintained an average of 31 entries per event and broke an entry record for its season opener with 38 drivers registered.

That put an end to the usual qualifying strategies, as the drivers and teams had to go as fast as possible as quickly as possible. Peter Dempsey, who has been the driver to beat in practice, wound up on the pole, but Andersen Racing’s Conor Daly, Joel Miller and Richard Kent were second, third and fourth, respectively. A fourth Andersen Racing driver, Denis Navarro, who had never even seen the track before Tuesday’s test sessions, will start 14th in the 20-car field. Daly, of Noblesville, Ind., was just 0.048 of a second off Dempsey’s qualifying time to earn a spot on the front row for his No.
