The Ligier JS F3: The Starting Block for F3 Americas

The Ligier JS F3 is Ligier’s latest single-seater launched in 2018. It hit the track last year in the very first edition of the F3 Americas. With the latest in technology, safety, affordability and styling, the Ligier JS F3 is the perfect next step after the Formula 4 United States Championship Powered by Honda. Stepping into the F3 Americas series, builds upon the progression offered by the F.I.A. from the F4 U.S. Championship.

“Last year, we saw Kyle Kirkwood, the 2017 F4 U.S. Champion move up to F3 and clinch the 2018 F3 Americas title" said Max Crawford, Ligier Automotive North America Chief Executive. "This year again many F4 drivers are moving up to the Ligier JS F3 and the F3 Americas. We just had Kent Vaccaro veteran F4 driver from Momentum Motorsports in our workshops last week for a seat fitting in the Ligier JS F3."  

Crawford continued. "Momentum Motorsports will start testing its new Ligier JS F3 next week, as will Dakota Dickerson, champion of the 2018 F4 U.S. Championship, in his new Ligier JS F3 to get ready for the 2019 season. Also moving up to F3 Americas from the F4 U.S. Championship is Velocity Racing Development. Velocity Racing Development has been busy the last two months testing its pair of Ligier JS F3 cars with two new drivers, Mathias Soler-Obel and Ricco Shaimoun. We have other Ligier JS F3s currently available in our workshops for teams and drivers wanting to make a move to the F3 Americas."

The F3 Americas season will kick off April 4 at Barber Motorsports Park with three races. The season continues for 14 more races at some of the best tracks across the United States like Road Atlanta, Pittsburgh International Race Complex, Virginia International Race Complex, Sebring International Raceway.
