GRRL! SUMMARY:
- KAYLEE COUNTRYMAN made a smart strategic return to USF2000 at St Petersburg, banking crucial street circuit experience ahead of her F1 Academy debut in Shanghai. Her best finish of 18th position might not scream headlines, but this was textbook preparation work – she completed every lap on a notoriously tricky circuit while consistently improving her pace throughout the weekend.
- The Exclusive Autosport driver showed steady progression across both races, cutting her personal best time by over half a second from Friday practice to Sunday’s finale. Starting 22nd in both races, COUNTRYMAN navigated the chaos of street racing carnage that claimed multiple drivers, demonstrating the racecraft that earned her a spot with Haas F1 Team’s F1 Academy program.
- This USF2000 return caps off a winter campaign that included UAE F4 Series racing, giving COUNTRYMAN the seat time she needs before stepping into F1 Academy’s spotlight. With three street circuits on the upcoming F1 Academy calendar, her St Pete experience becomes invaluable preparation for representing American talent on the global stage alongside teammates Lisa Billard and Jade Jacquet at ART Grand Prix.
UPCOMING:
- F1 Academy Shanghai – March 14-15
- USF2000 Indianapolis Motor Speedway – May
