September 22, 2026 – Kiwi Motorsport attacked the VIRginia International Raceway (VIR) this past weekend across all three championships, collecting multiple podium finishes in the Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) and Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) while continuing to build momentum heading into the season finales. Earning six podium results over the weekend, Kiwi Motorsport will aim to finish their season strong at the finale weekend in mid-October.

In Ligier JFC, Jack Speth represented Kiwi Motorsport as its lone entry in the Gen 2 class. Speth put together a consistent weekend, securing second-place finishes in both races to add two more podium results to his 2026 campaign.

F4 U.S. produced four more podium finishes for the team across the weekend's two races. In Race 1, Zach Fourie and Clemente Huerta finished second and third, respectively, with Aydan Kohut close behind in fourth and Caleb Campbell completing the Kiwi Motorsport lineup in eighth. Campbell moved to the front of the team in Race 2, earning a second-place finish for his second podium of the season. Huerta once again stood on the podium in third, while Fourie and Kohut completed the top-five in fourth and fifth.

In Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas), Harbir Dass led the Kiwi Motorsport effort in Race 1, finishing sixth, while teammate Cooper Shipman was unable to finish the race. Shipman bounced back in Race 2 to lead the team with a fifth-place finish, while Dass followed in eighth.

“It was another weekend with a lot of positives across all three of our programs,” explained Kiwi Motorsport Team Owner Teena Larsen. “Jack was incredibly consistent with two more podiums in JFC, and our F4 drivers gave us some great results with multiple podiums and strong finishes throughout the weekend. We also saw Cooper fight back in FR Americas after a difficult first race. We have one weekend left in all three championships, so we're going to take what we learned at VIR and put everything we have into finishing the season strong.”

Kiwi Motorsport will now turn its attention to the season finale for all three championships at Barber Motorsports Park, October 16-18. The team will look to close out their respective 2026 campaigns on a high note as they look toward the 2027 season.
