#91 Kaylee Countryman
American racer Kaylee Countryman will represent TGR Haas F1 Team for the 2026 F1 Academy series, competing with ART Grand Prix. The 16-year-old, from Chandler Arizona, will be supported by America’s Formula 1 team in the fourth season of F1 Academy.
Kaylee began racing on her 12th birthday in the LO206 J2 class, using a four-stroke Briggs & Stratton-powered kart. By the end of her first year, she collected multiple podiums at her home track of Phoenix Kart Racing Association in Glendale, Arizona, earned a second-place finish at a national karting event in California and competed at the Grand Nationals in Indiana.
In 2023, Kaylee progressed from a four-stroke to a far more demanding two-stroke platform - joining the J3 Competition and earning a coveted position as a factory driver for CompKart. She began racing across the United States, also expanding internationally with races in Canada, Spain and the United Kingdom. Kaylee secured her first international podium in Canada with a third-place finish.
On her 14th birthday Kaylee took part in a 2-Day SCCA Accreditation Licensing Class at the Podium Club in Attesa. She received the highest score in the class for graduation, and just days later she raced in her first open wheel race in the RUSH SR where she took third place.
For the 2025 season, Kaylee joined Exclusive Autosport for the 2025 USF Junior Season, one of three females in a field of 22 drivers. She recorded four top-ten finishes across the season including an eighth-place finish at Mid-Ohio.
In September 2025 Kaylee was invited to Spain to take part in the F1 Academy Navarra Collective Test, immediately making her mark on the world stage. Continuing to take her racing international, Kaylee participated in the UAE4 Series at the start of 2026, preparing for her full time programs in F1 Academy and USF2000 Championship.
As the selected driver for TGR Haas F1 Team, Countryman will race in a bespoke livery and custom race suit. She will also be fully integrated into the team, having access to team personnel to support her on-track activities, regular contact with the engineering team during race weekends, and will feature in marketing and communications activities.
