The USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire will increase horsepower on road and street courses for the USF Pro 2000 and USF2000 series to enhance driver development and make the cars more exciting and challenging, as stated by Dan Andersen, owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions. Trials of the increased horsepower were conducted at the recent USF Pro Fall Combine Open Test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with positive feedback from drivers like Noah Ping and Jack Jeffers. Elite Engines will reset the USF Pro 2000 rev limiter to boost peak horsepower output by 10 hp at the top end and 40 hp at the bottom end, resulting in lower lap times and improved acceleration. USF2000 will see a 20 hp increase at the top end with the removal of the engine restrictor, leading to faster lap times and increased acceleration. Drivers like Ping and Jeffers appreciate the challenges and improvements that the increased power brings to the driving experience, looking forward to the positive impact on driver development and the competitiveness of the series.
