F4 Cars in Club Racing?

[Bealsnks]

In the past few weeks a lot of F4's have popped up for sale around various sites, but other than the F4 championship do they have a place in any classes at the club level?

Both Road -To-Indy and the SVRA F4 Series have introduced "Junior" series this year so that "karts-to-cars" people will get into their respective ladder systems rather than F1600, Lucas Racing School Series, Formula F, or other club racing. In an incredibly ironic move, RTI has also adopted the US F4 cars as their car for the 2022 season, but will be switching to a Tatuus chassis from 2023 onward. So those $hitbox F4 cars have had a boost in value recently, but should fall off a cliff at the end of the year. I expect more will show up for club racing next year.

It is, in SCCA's FS class.

That new fangled FX class is (I think) to avoid disenfranchising Club FM cars, and to give them (and a few other series' cars) a place to run in the Runoffs.

I'm sure you already knew that. :-)

Good info, thanks for sharing. I wonder how competitive an F4 is to the rest of these cars listed in the group above?
