Is there any information on how many cars have been delivered?
I do not care how complete the design is. There is no one in this country who can build and assemble 12 carbon tub race cars in 12 weeks.
I expected this kind of problem when I saw how aggressive the target date was. Tough job.
I have no doubt that the cars will be spectacular when completed.
Thanks ... Jay Novak

I think the part about it having to be this country is the problem. They should have gone with one of the pre-existing F4 manufacturers if they wanted to have any hope of getting the series going on time. (Mygale/Tatuus/Dome)
Or if they wanted to think of the future and make a real interesting F4 series allow all F4 chassis!
I've no inside info, but could be sub-contract supply issues.
Or maybe the F4 Honda is as under-powered as the Lites one was, and they're reluctant to be seen to fail twice.
Might also be a simple case of smoke-and-mirrors on how many true sales they've had, and scca is deflecting the truth.
Time will tell if there's ever an actual event....
That's easy to say, but it was our awesome president of SCCA who showed up with Walker to threaten FRP. You can also see the SCCA's "leadership" in just how messed up this whole situation is.
I'm excited to have front row seats to the **** show.
Are the tubs even built in this country? My understanding is that the tubs were subbed out to someone. I'm not sure they were domestic.
After hearing about the supply problems with FL, production problems with F4 is the least shocking news ever.
This series is heavily reliant on prep shop involvement. Reputable prep shops expect to give a budget to their customers before the season starts. It's almost June and no one knows what a season is going to cost yet.

Walker is doing his best with what he has in front of him. He is busy picking up the pieces of what others have left for him and is doing his best. Do not blame him for any of this, I am certain he didn't realize how delayed the program would be when he signed on to help out.

"Austin will compete alongside teammate Michael Goodyear in the inaugural F4 U.S. Championship season.
If fans would like to learn more about Austin, like what superstitious thing he does before each race, the last thing he snapped a photo of on his phone and the name of his childhood imaginary friend visit click here."
riveting stuff I imagine ....
