“Over the years, our relationship with Racing America and its championships – including the Ligier Junior Formula Championship, Formula 4 United States Championship, and Formula Regional Americas Championship – has grown and continues to strengthen,” said Kyle Kietzmann, President and CEO of Racing Force USA. “This renewal once again confirms the commitment of our brands, OMP and Bell Racing, to supporting young drivers on their path toward the highest levels of motorsport through products that combine safety, performance, and innovation. We will also continue to present the SVRA Bell Racing Championship Gold Helmets, which since 2013, have become a highly sought-after prize for national champions in vintage racing. We look forward to seeing the action begin with the 2026 season.”
“All throughout my career, I was very cognizant of driver safety gear,” said Scott Goodyear, Race Director for FR Americas, F4 U.S. and Ligier JFC. “I first started wearing a Bell Racing helmet while karting, and continued throughout my career, including racing in the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona, providing me the highest safety in the industry. To continue our partnership and provide the best safety gear to our young drivers with Bell Racing and OMP race suits is so important in getting the next generation of drivers started with the best safety equipment as they build their careers.”
