2023 Formula Regional Americas Championship

The 2023 Formula Regional Americas Championship powered by Honda is the sixth season of a FIA-sanctioned F3 series across North America, and the fourth season under the Formula Regional moniker after a rebrand in 2020. The series is promoted by SCCA Pro Racing, the professional racing division of the Sports Car Club of America. Drivers compete to win a Honda-backed Super Formula seat for 2024.[1]

Teams and drivers

All drivers compete with Honda-powered Ligier JS F3 cars on Hankook tires. This is the last season of the championship using a Honda powertrain, with a switch to Ligier engines planned for 2024.[2]
