With F4 U.S. and FR Americas devised as the initial steps on the Road to F1, the newly-rebranded Ligier JS F4 Series will strengthen the current ladder system while providing another avenue for drivers to race single-seater cars

As the FIA-certified F4 U.S. Championship transitions to the new Ligier JS F422 chassis and Ligier Storm power in 2024, the Ligier JS F4 Series provides teams and drivers that own the existing chassis with a place to compete, and offers an additional development opportunity for drivers moving up from karts to single-seater racecars.

Keeping the ladder system in mind, the 2024 scholarship program is designed to assist champions in their career trajectory, providing opportunities to achieve the next step in their racing career.

The 2024 Ligier JS F4 Series Driver Champion will win a scholarship to compete in F4 U.S. the following season with the use of a JS F422 chassis and engine from Ligier, two sets of tires per event from Hankook and race entry fees from Parella Motorsports Holdings (PMH); the prize is valued at $133,600.

Additionally, the 2024 F4 U.S. Driver Champion and FR Americas Driver Champion will also be awarded scholarships to assist in the next step of their careers.
