Callum Hedge will look to keep his points lead intact heading to the third round of the Formula Regional (FR) Americas Championship at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in the USA. He currently leads by just four-points over multi-time race winner Ryan Shehan. Cooper Becklin sits third and will be a contender this weekend stemming from his impressive results here last season.
Hedge is driving for the Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport team which is competing in both FR and Formula 4 series. This weekend they have 12 entries across two categories which will see six drivers compete in the F4 United States Championship Powered by Honda, with six in the FR Americas Championship Powered by Honda. Additionally, two new drivers join Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport this weekend.
“We are the current leaders in both driver and team championships, and we can’t let up. There is still plenty of racing to go and Sunday will only be the halfway mark to the 2023 season,” explained Garry Orton. “At every round, the pressure gets greater to perform. Everybody on the team is doing a fantastic job. Super proud of how all our drivers are doing both in F4 and FR.”
With an optional test session planned for Thursday afternoon and an additional one on Friday morning, official practice will begin Friday afternoon.
Saturday will break way for qualifying and the first wheel-to-wheel racing of the weekend, with races two and three rolling off the grid on Sunday.
