Fifteen-year old driver Truly “The Truth” Adams has signed with Berg Racing and will compete in the 2026 Ligier Junior Formula Championship, marking his entry into one of the sport’s most competitive development environments.

A native of Riverside, Adams is quickly emerging as a young American driver to watch, building momentum on the international stage. In 2025, he made history as the first American to podium at the FEED Racing Volant F4 Finals in France, a key proving ground for drivers advancing into top-tier formula competition.

The Ligier Junior Formula Championship is a premier development platform for drivers transitioning from karting into professional auto racing, offering structured testing, race experience, and a clear pathway into higher levels of competition.

Now competing with Berg Racing for the 2026 season, his move to the team places him in a competitive driver development program as he steps into formula racing. Adams recently made his debut with the team during pre-season testing, March 23–24 at NOLA Motorsports Park, marking an important first step in his transition into full championship competition.

“On behalf of everyone at Berg Racing, we are very pleased to welcome Truly to our race team for the 2026 Ligier Junior Formula Championship,” said Alex Berg, Sporting Director, Berg Racing. “Truly brings valuable experience from kart racing as well as testing in cars, and we are confident he will be fighting for wins and championships this season.”

Berg Racing operates under Allen Berg Motorsports USA Inc., founded by former Formula 1 driver Allen Berg, and is recognized for developing drivers through a combination of elite instruction, competitive race programs, and a long-term approach to driver growth.

For Adams, the signing represents both a milestone and continued momentum as he climbs      one of the most competitive ladders in global motorsports.

 

 

 

“This is a big step in my career,” said Adams. “To be part of a team like Berg Racing and compete in a full championship season is something I’ve been working toward. I’m focused on continuing to learn, improve, and compete at the highest level.”

As Adams prepares for the 2026 season, his addition to Berg Racing reflects growing recognition of his performance, discipline, and potential, positioning him among a small group of American drivers working to establish themselves on the international stage.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment.

When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused.
