With national talent like Scott Dixon, Scott McLaughlin, Hunter McElrea, Billy Frazer and Jacob Douglas all being successful in America and on their own paths on the Road To Indy, it was a matter of time until this pathway got some attention over here in the sim world!
Introducing our 2000 Challenge Series - Featuring the USF 2000 which is the first major step in any aspiring drivers Road To Indy. The car features a good aero package and a 2L, 4 Cylinder Engine, providing enough power and grip to have the feel of a Formula vehicle without having too much - you still have to wheel these!
Naturally, the USF series follows both road and oval courses - being able to drive both disciplines is a requirement to success!
