LONDON: The F4 Saudi Arabian Championship is launching the second season of its single-seater motorsport series from October to December, featuring five rounds of races at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, and the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
Mansour Al-Moqbel, acting CEO of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation, and CEO of Saudi Motorsport Company, said: “(The F4) serves as a strategic platform to empower Saudi youth to enter this vital sector, allowing them to hone their skills and become the drivers of the future.”
Formula 4 is an entry-level racing category designed for young drivers, including those transitioning from karting, and it serves as the first step on the path to elite F1 racing. The first 2024 season of the championship was hosted by circuits across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar.
The Bahrain International Circuit is to host two rounds of races — from Oct. 10-12, which will include an opening Test Day, followed by another round on Oct. 15-16.
In November and December, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, known as the world’s fastest street track, will host three races.
