Cooper Shipman, the 2025 Formula 4 United States champion, could be a dark horse for the 2026 Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Trophy.
Nine wins in the United States last season marked Cooper as one to watch for 2026 – whichever category he competes in. But to begin 2026, he’s staying with the team he won the US title with – Kiwi Motorsport - and heading to New Zealand.
Cooper expects the challenge of taking part in the country’s four-round premier championship will be a very tough one when he races against a high-quality field of proven talent from other junior formula categories around the world.
