Current season |
The FIA F2 World Championship is an open-wheel category of motor racing which serves as a feeder series to Formula One. The series was created by the FIA from the assets of the former F2RWRS championship and its run with a single spec chassis built by Dallara and a single spec engine built by Judd.
History
Due to a more pronounced divide between F1 and F1RWRS, the FIA successfully sued the F1RWRS commission over their much-discussed naming conflict, and the latter series would have to undergo a name change if it was to continue operating. AutoReject International purchased the naming rights to F1RWRS, and the series became the lead competition of the AutoReject ladder under the guise of the AutoReject World Series.
F2RWRS and F3RWRS were now left without a parent series thanks to the departure of the ARWS, and seemed like they would perhaps go out of business. The FIA secured the rights to both series, and rebranded them to the FIA F2 World Championship and FIA F3 Eurasian Championship respectively.
Format changes
In deference to the greater relationship with Formula 1, the series' race-day format was changed in order to replicate the conditions drivers would experience further up the ladder. While the first three years of the new F2 championship ran two races per weekend, 2021 saw the championship return to a single race per venue to shorter, with the calendar getting drafted to offer F1 with support events for most weekends. The scoring system also changed, now offering the top 10 finishers in the race points, as well as offering two points for pole position.
