F1 Academy to support seven F1 grands prix in 2024

F1 Academy commenced this season but drew criticism for its lack of exposure, with the races being condensed into highlight clips rather than gaining live broadcasts.

While the series did visit topflight venues such as the Red Bull Ring in Austria, Barcelona, Zandvoort and Monza, it has not supported an F1 round. That is until this weekend, however, when F1 Academy will feature at the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of The Americas.

But for next season, all rounds will run at F1 events. The series, headed up by former Williams test driver Susie Wolff, has issued its 2024 calendar.

The campaign will open in Saudi Arabia across the 7-9 March weekend before moving to Miami, Barcelona, Zandvoort, Marina Bay in Singapore and then Qatar.

F1 Academy will share its season finale with F1, with both championships coming to an end in Abu Dhabi (the site of F1 Academy’s worldwide announcement via a press conference) across 6-8 December.

Managing director Wolff said: “I am delighted to announce our seven-round season for 2024.

“This calendar cements our ambition to become a truly global series, expanding our reach and improving visibility for our mission.
