The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) introduced the Formula Regional (originally called Formula 3) concept in 2017 as the next step for Formula 4 competitors.
The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA Pro Racing) debuted the Formula Regional Americas Championship in 2018.
The American series is aligned with the FIA and partners Honda Performance Development, Hankook Tire America and Ligier Automotive. Drivers compete in the Ligier JS F3, designed and manufactured by Ligier Automotive for the American series. The chassis is a carbon fiber monocoque. The suspension design is common to most open-wheel race cars: front and double wishbone, push-rod actuated shock absorbers, and springs with anti-roll bars. The Ligier is powered by a turbocharged Honda K20C1 engine, which produces just over 300 horsepower. The motor is fitted with a six-speed sequential semi-automatic transmission. The entire package weighs 1,430-pounds. The 2024 Formula Regional Americas Championship consists of seven weekends, with three races held at each venue. The exceptions are the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Circuit of the Americas, which will host two contests.
Rounds fifteen, sixteen and seventeen of the 2024 Formula Regional Americas Championship were held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Drivers would compete in three contests around the ten-turn 2.459 mile road course.

Patrick Woods-Toth made a successful transition from karting to capture the 2023 Formula 4 United States Championship. This year Woods-Toth advanced to the Formula Regional Americas Championship. He entered the penultimate weekend of the season with an opportunity to secure the title and did not fail. Woods-Toth swept all three contests in the No. 27 Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3. He earned the crown in race two on Saturday afternoon. |

Patrick Woods-Toth's most prominent challenger this weekend was Titus Sherlock. Sherlock drives the No. 31 Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3. On Friday afternoon at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, he started second and finished 0.616 seconds behind the winner Woods-Toth. Sherlock had similar results the following day. In the finale, he and Woods-Toth banged wheels on the opening lap. Sherlock pitted for repairs and finished ninth. |

Third in the title chase is Jett Bowling, who had four podium finishes heading into Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. In the weekend's first contest, Bowling qualified and finished third in the No. 02 Crossline Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3. His performance on Saturday for round sixteen was the same as the previous day. He was gridded third for Sunday's race and was a beneficiary of Titus Sherlock's misfortune. Bowling finished in the runner-up spot. |
