F1 Academy, the all-female Formula 4 championship, will only hold one of its seven rounds in Europe next year.
The 2025 calendar was revealed on Monday, and it consists of three rounds in Asia, three in North America and just one in the continent which last year hosted six out of the seven rounds in the championship’s inaugural season.
Every event next season will run on the Formula 1 support bill, and the season starts with races at Shanghai on March 21-23. Jeddah and Miami retain their places on the schedule, and will be visited on April 18-20 and May 2-4 respectively, then there is a break of a month before the paddock heads to Canada for the first time to race in Montreal on June 13-15.
Zandvoort holds the status as the only circuit to appear in every F1 Academy by hosting round four on August 29-31, then two of F1’s night races cap off the season. However until track schedules are released next year it is unknown whether F1 Academy drivers will also get to race under the lights.
Round five takes place around Singapore’s Marina Bay street circuit on October 3-5, and Las Vegas’s Strip circuit will be where the F1 Academy finale takes place on November 20-22.
Each round will feature two races, and there will be 15 test days across 2025. The venues and dates for those are yet to be announced.
“I want to thank our promoters for their enthusiasm and support, and for joining us on our journey to create opportunities for women to thrive at every level of our sport,” said F1 Academy’s managing director Susie Wolff.
“Finishing our season in Las Vegas will be an iconic moment, and its addition to the calendar is testament to the wealth of support we receive from F1 and Liberty Media.”
