The opening rounds of F4 are starting today in New Orleans. According to the flyer that came out, F4 should be on the track at 11:25 AM Central Time.
Can anyone confirm that this will be the first races for the new V4 motors in these cars?

There will not be an official F4 US Championship race at NOLA this weekend. Not enough cars have been delivered (though they are making good progress now)
The JS F4 series is for the older Honda powered cars.
Four of the new cars tested and practiced over the last two days at NOLA in the SVRA formula car group. Two of the cars were basically delivery shakedown runs (Driven by my son Connor Roberts). At least one car will race the rest of the weekend in the SVRA group. Pretty sure the 4th car ran this morning but had other commitments for the rest of the weekend.
The opening round for the F4 US Championship will take place at Road America next month, May 16-19.

I don't see any events on the schedule to replace the cancelled ones.
What happens with awarding FIA license points when the schedule doesn't meet the FIA "F4 spec" requirements for number of races?
(or am I out of date?)

We should be good to go.
Saw the Road America results, were the track conditions 'normal'? (i.e. was 2.13 expected or a surprise?)
The Ligier engineer told me the simulator runs showed laptimes in the 2:14 range. Prior to that I expected 2:12's. Quimby got pretty close to that in race 2 earlier todayQuote:

In F4 the power is regulated to 160 HP is it not? I would be curious what dyno testing and results were required to get this V4 motor to be 'equalized' with the other engines used in various places.Quote:
