Season report

First half

The 2026 Formula Regional Americas Championship began at NOLA Motorsports Park. Crosslink's Evagoras Papasavvas claimed pole position in qualifying, but contact between him and teammate Kekai Hauanio saw both drop down the order at the start of the first race. That handed the lead to Toney's Brady Golan, and he would go on to win ahead of teammate Christian Bogle. Crosslink's Barrett Wolfe finished third on the road, but a post-race penalty saw him lose his podium to Kiwi Motorsport's Cooper Shipman. Race two began with polesitter Golan stalling on the grid and retiring. Hauanio took over in front before a gearbox issue dropped him behind eventual winner Papasavvas and Shipman. Papasavvas started race three from pole position, but fell behind Hauanio in the opening part of the race. Shipman also got past Papasavvas before claiming the lead to end the weekend with his maiden victory. A post-race penalty dropped Papasavvas to sixth, handing third to Toney's Luke Powers and awarding Shipman a 13-point championship lead.
