The season will be held over seven weekends from January to October 2026.[1]
Drivers and teams
[edit]Drivers will compete in three classes: the 016 Class will only be open to Swift 016a cars, while the USF Juniors Class will be open to Tatuus PM-18 cars and the Open Class will serve all other eligible entries.
Race calendar
[edit]The race schedule was announced on September 30, 2024.[1] Pittsburgh International Race Complex dropped off the schedule after the track was closed down, and New Jersey Motorsports Park was also not featured, with the series instead debuting at the Carolina Motorsports Park and returning to Barber Motorsports Park for the first time since 2022.
