Current season

The Formula Regional Middle East Championship is an FIA-certified Formula Regional racing series, started in 2023. The championship races in the Emirati venues of Yas Marina Circuit and Dubai Autodrome, as well as Kuwait Motor Town. The promoter of the Formula Regional Asian Championship (Top Speed) decided to relaunch Formula Regional Asian Championship in South East Asia, so the championship racing on the Middle Eastern circuits was renamed.[1]

Car

The championship features the all new Tatuus-designed and built T-326 cars, powered by a 1.6L ATM-Autotecnica Motori/Toyota 3 cylinder engine.
