Super Formula: Callum Hedge in line for 2024 HPD scholarship
Nineteen-year-old Callum Hedge is currently leading the Formula Regional Americas standings by 55 points, with a total of nine wins out of twelve races so far this season. He could potentially secure the championship title next week if he extends his lead over his closest rival by 20 points. Winning the championship would earn Hedge a $600,000 bonus and a seat in the Super Formula series in 2024. However, he also has the opportunity to compete in the Porsche Junior Shootout and potentially earn a paid seat in the global Porsche Supercup series. Hedge’s management team has stated that their main focus is on wrapping up the championship, and then they will consider their options for the future. If he does win the championship, the HPD scholarship prize may not cover the full budget needed for a Super Formula seat. Hedge will also have to make a quick decision as to whether to accept the prize, as the post-season Super Formula rookie test is set to take place in December. It is unclear at this time which team Hedge would be placed with if he were to win the scholarship.
