	← 2023 2025 →

The 2024 F1600 Championship Series season was the fourteenth season of the F1600 Championship Series.

The previous year's champion was Porter Aiken of Chillout Motorsports.

The national F1600 Championship Series lacks the second ‘F’ because of its use of Honda rather than Ford engines, and ran over seven rounds in 2024. Team Pelfrey’s Naranjo swept to the title in one of the newest cars on the grid (albeit already being a decade old), and Timothy Steele was runner-up. Naranjo was unbeaten in the season-opening round at Road Atlanta and the Pittsburgh triple-header, while Steele only won once in the 19-race campaign at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

USF2000 podium-finisher Thomas Schrage won all three races at Mid-Ohio, then Iron Rock Motorsports’ second-year driver Cooper Shipman took a win before Naranjo was twice victorious at Lime Rock. He brought his win tally up to eight with single successes at Road America and NJMP, and the other two races at Road America went to USF2000 racer Ayrton Houk.

His fellow 2023 Team USA scholar Jack Sullivan won race one of the Summit Point finale, with race two going to Shipman. ^[1]
