Berg Racing is proud to announce that Tyler Wade will join the team for the 2026 Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) season, marking the American driver’s debut in competitive formula car racing. Hailing from Alameda, Calif., Wade enters his first official racing season after an unconventional but determined journey into motorsport. Unlike many of his peers, Wade did not follow the traditional karting pathway. Instead, his pursuit began during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he built a sim racing program from the ground up before progressing into karting and ultimately formal driver development. His transition to real-world racing came through Allen Berg Racing Schools, where he earned his competition license and continued to refine his skills. A subsequent test with Berg Racing at Road Atlanta in late 2025 led to the opportunity to compete full-time in the Ligier JFC. Wade’s story is also defined by resilience. After earning early opportunities with professional teams, he stepped away from racing to support his family during a critical medical situation involving his sister. Her recovery and perseverance ultimately inspired his return to the sport and pursuit of his racing ambitions. Now backed by partners including Dante’s Inferno and Perlson LLP, Wade will pilot the No. 9 entry as he begins his rookie campaign. Tyler Wade’s Quote: “I’m extremely excited!
