The Formula Regional Americas Championship powered by Honda (formerly the F3 Americas Championship powered by Honda) is an FIA Formula Regional racing series that competes in the United States and Canada, with plans in the future to race in Mexico. The championship is sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing, the professional racing division of the Sports Car Club of America, in conjunction with the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States, the United States representative to the FIA. The F3 Americas Championship updated its name to Formula Regional Americas Championship Powered by Honda in 2020.[1]
Championship format
Most events of the championship consists of three races, which are run on the support package of other motorsport events across North America, though some events only contain two races.
