Open-wheel formula car

Ligier JS F4

A genuine open-wheel formula car, driven one-on-one.

FastLane Ligier JS F4 formula cars in teal FLBR Motorsport livery staged in the pit lane.

What it's like to drive

The first time the slicks and wings really load up in a fast corner, your brain refuses to believe a car can grip that hard. You pull 2.5 G and the whole world narrows to the next apex. Nothing on the road prepares you for it.

The sequential box is instant. A flick of the lever and you are in the next gear with no lift, so you stop thinking about shifting and start thinking like a racing driver.

Drive it in

The Ligier JS F4 is the real thing: a purpose-built, FIA-spec Formula 4 single-seater and the centerpiece of our Formula 4 Racing Academy. Wings, slicks, a carbon survival cell, and a sequential gearbox put you in a true open-wheel race car, not a road car with a body kit.

Every F4 day at FastLane is 100% private and one-on-one, with computer data analysis of every session. It is the most advanced way to train with us, and it doubles as a path toward an SCCA competition license. New to formula cars? That is exactly who we build these days for.
