As Andretti Autosport has a focus of returning to Indy Lights in 2021, the team and Frost will now shift attention on achieving the FR Americas Championship title. Like sports across the world, the FR Americas Championship was affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic but the series remained committed to allowing drivers and teams the opportunity to complete a full season championship.
“I am excited to be taking part in the Formula Regional Americas series this year,” said Frost. “It’s a new car for myself and the team, which will be challenging for both of us. I believe in our capability and am looking forward to what we will be able to do this year.”
