The FR category has already cemented its position on the ladder to the FIA Formula One World Championship, as evidenced by 2023 Formula Regional European Champion Kimi Antonelli, who will become a Mercedes F1 driver in 2025. Every current F1 team has junior drivers competing in a Formula Regional championship, and five drivers racing at this year’s FR World Cup are a part of these programmes.
Dino Beganovic (Ferrari Driver Academy) is another former FRECA champion, and he will joined by fellow F1 junior drivers Alexander Dunne (McLaren Driver Development Programme), Oliver Goethe (Red Bull Junior Team), Tuukka Taponen (Ferrari Driver Academy) and Ugo Ugochukwu (McLaren Driver Development Programme).
In addition to the F1 juniors and FR champions, no fewer than nine FIA Formula 4 Champions from 2023 are set to line up for the FR World Cup, including F4 Spanish champion Théophile Nael, F4 Indian Champion Cooper Webster, F4 Chinese Champion Tiago Rodrigues, F4 Japanese Champion Rikuto Kobayashi, F4 French Champion Evan Giltaire, F4 UAE Champion James Wharton and F4 NACAM and US Champion Noel Leon.
The FIA FR World Cup takes place from 14-17 November, with two practice sessions and two qualifying sessions setting the grid for the Qualification Race, which in turn sets the final grid of the weekend for ultimate honours – the Macau Grand Prix itself.
The FIA FR World Cup, along with the co-headlining FIA GT World Cup, will benefit from extensive live streaming via the FIA’s official YouTube channel.
