2019 F1600 Championship Series

The 2019 F1600 Championship Series season was the eighth season of the F1600 Championship Series.

Jonathan Kotyk successfully defended his 2018 SCCA National Runoffs Formula F title this year with K-Hill Motorsports, which also signed him to compete in the F1600 Championship Series.

His main rival throughout the season was fellow Team USA scholar and Team Pelfrey driver Josh Green. The two dominated the early part of the championship, going unbeaten in the first 12 races. Their winning streak was briefly interrupted at Pittsburgh, where F2000 driver Simon Sikes stepped down a category to claim victory. Once the Kotyk–Green dominance resumed, it was Kotyk who held the upper hand, winning the remaining six races.

Josh Green, the 2019 F1600 Series runner-up, was selected as a Team USA Scholarship recipient for the season. As part of the program, he will benefit from a range of valuable support services.

Scott Rubenzer claimed the title of F1600 Master Champion, while Bob Reid and Mike Scanlan completed the 2019 final podium in second and third place, respectively.

Alvise Anti received special recognition for his contributions to FRP. He kept his son Charles (#26) competitive within a highly challenging field prepared by major teams.
