2024 Ligier JS F4 Series

Last updated

The 2024 Ligier JS F4 Series is the inaugural season of the Ligier JS F4 Series. The series was founded from the ashes of the Formula Development series, which served as a feeder into the United States Formula 4 Championship, but suffered chronically low grid numbers. The series is sanctioned by Parella Motorsports Holdings.

The series was created for teams and drivers to utilize the old Ligier JS F4 chassis following the United States Formula 4 Championship's switch to the Ligier JS F422 chassis.
