Current season

The Formula Regional Middle East Championship is an FIA-certified Formula Regional racing series, started in 2023. This championship races in the Emirati venues from the 2022 Formula Regional Asian Championship and Kuwait Motor Town. The promoter of Formula Regional Asian Championship (Top Speed) decided to relaunch Formula Regional Asian Championship in Southeastern Asia, so the championship racing on the Middle Eastern circuits was renamed the Formula Regional Middle East Championship.[1]

Car

[edit]

The championship features Tatuus-designed and built F3 T-318 cars.[2] The cars include a number of enhanced safety features including the halo. The cars are powered by a 1.75 L (107 cu in) Alfa Romeo TBi/Autotecnica 270 hp (200 kW) turbo engine.[2]
