Linus Lundqvist Bows Out with Texas Triple Perfection

2020 Champion Sweeps Last Weekend of Racing

Despite contesting his first season in American racing, and despite having never previously sat foot at any of the tracks on this year's calendar, Lundqvist has shone throughout in a highly memorable 2020 campaign.

With a whopping 15 wins from 17 races, Lundqvist ties Kyle Kirkwood for the all-time series record of victories in a single season.

The Swede's sensational resume also includes 15 pole positions, 14 fastest laps, and new track records at five out of six venues visited this year.

With an aggregate score of 401 points, Lundqvist ends the season 118 points clear of runner-up David Malukas (USA).

“I did come here to try and win the title, but I could never have dreamed we'd do it like this,” Linus Lundqvist concludes. “FR Americas has given me a great, great opportunity to further my career, and for that I'm immensely humble. It really is the right time, too, to personally thank my sponsors, partners and the people who make this possible. It would not have happened without you - thanks.”

As part of his prize for winning the Formula Regional Americas title, Linus Lundqvist is awarded a scholarship to race in Indy Lights - the final steeping stone on the road to INDYCAR - next season. Further details relating to the 2021 campaign will be communicated in due course.
