The Formula Regional Americas Championship powered by Honda (formerly the F3 Americas Championship powered by Honda) is an FIA Formula Regional racing series that competes in the United States, with plans in the future to race in Canada and Mexico. 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. Starting in 2020 the champion will win a scholarship to compete in Indy Lights. [1] The F3 Americas Championship updated its name to Formula Regional Americas Championship Powered by Honda in 2020.[2]
Each event of the championship consists of three races, which are run on the support package of other motorsport events across North America. The top 8 in points standings receive FIA Super License points. Starting in 2021, the champion of the series receives a scholarship of $600,000 from Honda to compete in Super Formula.[3] [4]
The championship utilizes a spec chassis for all competitors, this being the Ligier JS F3 chassis. This chassis features the halo device, which was also implemented in Formula One and Formula 2 in 2018.[5]
