Radford Racing School and Racing America will again team up to host the Radford Racing School F4 Karts to Cars Scholarship School. A joint venture that brings together some of the most promising racing talent from around North America to get their first experience in a single-seater racecar, the program prepares young drivers for on-track competition in Racing America’s formula championships, which include the Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) and Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.). Held at Radford Racing School’s facility in Chandler, Ariz., the two-day school will take place next week, January 22-23.

Fortec Motorsports has confirmed that young American racer Jordyn Martin will join the team for the 2026 season as she makes her debut in the GB4 Championship.

Charlotte – Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) announced that it will expand to two classes beginning in 2026, accepting both the first-generation Ligier JS F4 car and a modified version of the second-generation Ligier JS F422 car to run side by side. With both cars eligible to race in Ligier JFC, teams or drivers owning the newer Ligier JS F422 will enjoy both increased flexibility and usage opportunities, as they’re able to compete in either Ligier JFC or Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) with just a few simple parts changes. Regardless of which car they use, all drivers competing in Ligier JFC will have equal opportunity to stand on the podium and earn the championship-winning scholarship, as both classes will be recognized separately on race podiums and with year-end prizes.
