Age: 19 (born October 7, 1992); Hometown: Los Gatos, Calif. Began karting at age 10, claiming numerous wins and championships at the local and regional levels before hooking up with 2000 Team USA Scholarship winner Joey Hand's Kartel Motorsports team. Then dovetailed continued success in karts with a move into cars which included an impressive run to the 2010 Bondurant Racing Championship. After visiting the Walter Hayes Trophy race at Silverstone, Neil decided his future lay in Europe. He has shown well as a rookie in this year's MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain with Cliff Dempsey Racing, and clinched his Team USA Scholarship berth with a strong performance in a shootout aboard a Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing FF car at Andersen RacePark in Florida.
 

Trent Hindman

Age: 16 (born September 20, 1995); Lives: Wayside, N.J. Trent has been racing karts since age 8 and has amassed numerous race wins and championships at all levels. He made the move into cars into early 2009, at the tender age of 13, and before long was notching up podium finishes in the Skip Barber Regional Race Series. He followed in the footsteps of Team USA Scholarship winners Connor De Phillippi and Spencer Pigot by winning the Skip Barber Racing School Karting Scholarship Shootout in December 2010. As a fully fledged MAZDASPEED Development Driver, Trent has been a front-runner in the BFGoodrich/Skip Barber National series, and has reaped further success in Canadian Formula Ford 1600 competition, including a wet-weather victory at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.

Spencer Pigot

Age: 18 (born September 29, 1993); Lives: Windermere, Fla. After an outstanding career in karting which began at age 8, Spencer won the Skip Barber Racing School Karting Scholarship in 2009. His prize was a fully funded ride in the 2010 BFGoodrich/Skip Barber National Presented by Mazda as an official MAZDASPEED Development Driver. He duly clinched the championship, earning both a fully funded progression into the Cooper Tires Presents the USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda and a Team USA Scholarship, which he used to take pole and fastest lap at the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch. A strong 2011 season with three wins and second overall in the USF2000 title-chase with Andretti Autosport earned him an opportunity to return to England, this time to drive a Duratec FF car.
