The season will be held over seven weekends from January to October 2026. [1]

Drivers and teams

Drivers will compete in three classes: the 016 Class will only be open to Swift 016a cars, while the USF Juniors Class will be open to Tatuus PM-18 cars and the Open Class will serve all other eligible entries.

Race calendar

The race schedule was announced on September 30, 2024.
