Radford Racing School and Formula 4 United States Championship are collaborating to host the Radford Racing School F4 U.S. Scholarship Award School, which provides an opportunity for top karters worldwide to gain experience in a single-seater race car. The two-day school will be held on December 1-2 at Radford Racing School’s facility in Chandler, Arizona. The program, known as “karts to cars,” aims to help scholarship winners transition to racecars while teaching them essential handling and car control skills. Participants, nominated by elite karting programs, will utilize a Ligier JS F4-16 chassis, a Honda 2.0-liter engine, and Hankook racing slicks, similar to those used in last year’s F4 U.S. competition. The curriculum includes ground school, skid control, lead-follow sessions, braking, shifting, and handling drills, tailored to the advanced skills of the participants. The program’s success is exemplified by its graduates, such as Patrick Woods-Toth, who won the 2023 F4 U.S. Driver Championship after completing the three-day school. The program’s nominees for this year will be announced in the coming week and are expected to include participants from renowned karting programs like MRFKC, New Castle Motorsports Park, and Will Power Kart.
