Announcement of FIA-F4 Driver Audition
JMS Racing (Representative: Nobuhiro Imada) will hold an audition for young drivers aiming to compete in the 2026 FIA-F4 Series, in order to provide opportunities to promising young talents.
This support program was launched last year as a joint initiative with B-Max Racing Team, embodying Representative Imada’s vision: “To give young drivers who possess talent but lack opportunities a chance to seize their dreams through their own efforts, and to nurture drivers who can aim for professional careers without relying solely on manufacturer-backed development programs.”
For the upcoming season, JMS Racing welcomes Mr. Daiki Sasaki—highly regarded for his coaching ability—as Team Director. With the full support of the B-Max Racing Team, JMS Racing will provide a top-tier structure capable of challenging for the championship. Young drivers who believe they have what it takes are encouraged to seize this opportunity. We look forward to applications from passionate drivers.
The parent organization of JMS Racing, JMS (Japan Motorsports Association), is led by gentleman driver Nobuhiro Imada, who has been active in series such as SF Lights and FIA-F4. With the aim of fostering the healthy development of motorsports, JMS has partnered with B-Max Racing Team since 2025 to launch a young driver development program focused on discovering talent that will shape the future of racing.
