Douglas Heads To Toronto For Penultimate Round Of USF Pro 2000 Season

The Streets of Toronto are the next stop for Jacob Douglas in the 2025 USF Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Continental Tires, with the 1.786-mile (2.87 km), 11-turn street circuit hosting the penultimate race weekend of the season.

Douglas heads into this weekend’s double-header sitting fifth in the standings, just 44 points shy of second place. Championship leader and Douglas’s Pabst Racing teammate, Max Garcia, holds a commanding 97-point lead and could clinch the title in Toronto.

The 20-year-old brings valuable experience to the Canadian street course, having raced at Toronto four times in USF2000, where he scored two top-five finishes and finished outside the top ten only once.

“This is one of my favourite tracks, and I’m so excited to get back out there,” said Douglas. “We’ve had some strong results here in the past, so we’ll be gunning for more this weekend.

“The championship battle from second through sixth is super tight, and a strong showing in Toronto could see Pabst Racing holding first and second in the standings.”

With five podiums this season, including a race win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and a second-placed finish last round at Mid-Ohio, Douglas is eyeing more silverware in the final stretch.

“We’ve shown strong pace all year, and with only four races left, there’s no reason we can’t add to that tally.”

Pabst Racing also leads the Team’s Championship by 172 points, with the results of the top two finishers of each race per team contributing to the standings.

Following Toronto, the 2025 USF Pro 2000 season concludes in Portland, where Douglas took his maiden USF2000 victory at Portland International Raceway.

“Two tracks we’re strong on to wrap up the season—looking forward to finishing with momentum on our side!” the young Kiwi added.

This weekend’s USF Pro 2000 action supports the NTT IndyCar Series and kicks off with practice at 3:35 AM NZST on Saturday, followed by Qualifying 1 at 6:10 AM. Qualifying 2 takes place at 1:35 AM on Sunday, ahead of Race 1 at 8:20 AM. The weekend concludes with Race 2 at 2:20 AM on Monday morning.

Both qualifying sessions and races will be streamed live on the USF Pro Championships YouTube channel.
