Twelve rounds of relentless racing culminated in a spectacular double-header finale at Sonoma Raceway, where World Speed Motorsports etched their name in the 2026 Formula Pro USA record books.
The weekend delivered everything a motorsport fan could ask for: inter-team duels, dramatic final-lap passes, and a mountain of championship hardware to cap off an unforgettable season.
WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS:
The on-track action at Sonoma was immediately electric. Saturday’s F4 race saw a fierce, crowd-pleasing battle between teammates Scott Pyle and Erik Doan. Pyle was an absolute rocket at the green flag, charging to the front and commanding the early laps. But Doan stayed glued to his gearbox, eventually sneaking by to steal the victory and secure a flawless World Speed 1-2 finish. Proving his consistency, Doan went on to score another hard-fought second place as the intense double-header weekend progressed.
On Sunday, Yana Kapoor delivered the drive of her career. She aggressively carved her way past the leader in Sunday’s race, holding the top spot and defending brilliantly for several laps. Though a heartbreaking final-lap shuffle relegated her to second place, she crossed the line with a silver trophy and the respect of the entire paddock. In the F3 class, Larry Schnur strung together two flawless races to sweep the weekend with double victories.
WORLD SPEED F3 TEAM RESULTS
When the tire smoke cleared and the final points were tallied, World Speed Motorsports had thoroughly dominated the FPUSA-3 Championship, claiming both the Team and Driver titles in a tight field of five drivers across three teams. Dan Decker and Larry Schnur ended the year in a dead heat of 162 points. The championship tie-breaker ultimately fell to Decker, whose six race wins across the season crowned him the 2026 Champion, with Schnur taking Vice-Champion honors on the strength of his two victories.
WORLD SPEED F4 TEAM RESULTS
The dominance continued in the FPUSA-4 Championship, where World Speed Motorsports captured the Team Championship against a strong grid of seventeen drivers from three different squads. World Speed’s F4 roster was a relentless force all year, placing three drivers in the top six of the overall standings.
- Erik Doan secured the F4 Vice-Champion title after a brilliant campaign. Yielding three class victories, and nine podiums. Doan was a constant threat at the front. His season was defined by raw pace, featuring six fastest race laps and a spectacular weekend sweep at the inaugural Thunderhill Open, where he clinched back-to-back wins.
- Scott Pyle locked in a 4th place championship finish, a remarkable feat considering he missed two rounds of the calendar. Maximizing his ten starts, Pyle broke through with a phenomenal class victory at Sonoma in Round 4 and backed up his pace with four additional podium finishes across Sonoma, Thunderhill, and Laguna Seca.
- Austin Tiller anchored the squad in 6th place overall, proving to be one of the most reliable points-getters on the grid with three podiums and top-five finishes in eight of his twelve starts.
- In the WRS F4 Class, the championship fight went down to the very last checkered flag. Yana Kapoor concluded her breakout season as the WRS Vice-Champion, boasting five class victories. Her consistency was impressive, as she finished inside the overall top ten in every single race of the 2026 calendar.
