Winning team set for USF Pro 2000 Presented by Continental Tire test season
The USF Pro 2000 Presented by Continental Tire test season officially kicks off this weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the USF Pro Championships Fall Combine. Earning wins and podium results in their 2024 campaign, TJ Speed brings a trio of new drivers to their USF Pro 2000 campaign this weekend.
“We are working hard to put together the best driver lineup we can and make a run at the 2025 championship,” expressed Team Owner Tim Neff. “After winning races, a top-five in the championship and consistently close to the front of the field, we are ready to make the next step in 2025.”
Drivers from three countries will run under the TJ Speed banner this weekend including Australian Miles Bromley from the Australia Formula Open, Formula Regional Japan competitor Sebastian Manson from New Zealand and USF Juniors race winner and Israeli’s Ariel Elkin.
“TJ Speed is an Australian team running cars in the Road to Indy program, and it’s great that they like supporting Aussie drivers wanting to make it in America like I do,” said Bromley. “To be driving on the Indianapolis road course is so cool. It might be a bit daunting to see the track for the first time, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the simulator, and I’m definitely ready for it. I can’t wait!”
Sebastian Manson enters the Fall Combine with multiple podium finishes in the 2024 Formula Regional Japan program as he explores his options for the 2025 season. Beside him, Ariel Elkin will make the jump from finishing fourth in the USF Juniors championship to USF Pro 2000 as he takes a year’s worth of experience in the USF Pro Championships program to TJ Speed.
Neff added, “We hope to have some direction on our 2025 drivers over the next few weeks as we build an even stronger program.”
With six test sessions on the docket, TJ Speed drivers will load into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday with on-track sessions beginning Saturday morning. Stay tuned to the TJ Speed social media pages for news, information, photos, and results from the event weekend.
