Turn 3 Motorsport has announced its four-driver line-up for the 2026 USF Pro 2000 season in full.
The Peter Dempsey-owned team will field Michael Costello, Tyke Durst, Brady Golan and Sebastian Manson.
Costello switches from Pabst Racing, who he came seventh in the standings with as a rookie last year. The 19-year-old made the podium twice, including on debut. Prior to that he raced for Jay Howard Driver Development, coming fifth in United States Formula 4 in 2023 then ninth in USF2000’s 2024 season, being a race-winner in both series.
Durst, 22, is embarking on a third USFP2000 campaign with Turn 3. He came 17th as a rookie then 13th last year. Two eighth places are his best results so far.
Golan is also not new to the team, having done a half-season in USFP2000 last year with them. In the Freedom 90, the sole oval race of the season, the 18-year-old started and finished fifth and he ended the year 18th in the points table. He was also a race-winning fifth in Formula Regional Americas, a USF2000 part-timer and a racer of LMP3 prototype sportscars in 2025.
Manson, who hails from New Zealand, has just finished his third season in FRegional Oceania but was a lowly 17th in the standings of his home series. In 2025 he had been sixth with two race victories.
The 17-year-old was NZ Formula FFord and FRegional Japanese Championship runner-up in 2024, and was12th in USFP2000 last year with TJ Speed.
Elsewhere in the USFP2000 paddock, Frankie Mossman has committed to a fourth year and JT Hoskins has joined the grid in a two-year deal.
The IndyCar-supporting third-tier championship has been where the 19-year-old Mossman has raced since August 2023, when he stepped up from US F4.
He did one USF2000 round in 2022, his half-season in US F4 featured two podiums and put him 11th in the standings, and he finished ninth on his USFP2000 debut.
In all three he raced for JHDD, and stayed with the team for the 2024 USFP2000 season. Mossman came eighth in the standings with two podiums, and repeated that in 2025 but after doing the first two rounds with JHDD he switched to Velocity Racing Development’s line-up. He remains with VRD for 2026 and “the mission is to fight for the title”.
Hoskins will race for JHDD by Ed Carpenter Racing, a new alliance between the junior single-seater outfit and the IndyCar team, when he makes two steps up the ladder to USFP2000 this year.
The 17-year-old joined the team for the second half of the 2024 USF Juniors season and came 26th in the standings with no top-10 finishes, then in his full 2025 campaign was 11th in the points table with a best finish of fourth place.
“After 18 months of training under Jay Howard and working with his team, being offered a two-year contract is truly the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Hoskins.
