The F1-supporting F2 championship has announced its 2024 calendar, with the headline news being a first ever visit to Qatar in place of a race at Zandvoort, while F3 revealed a largely unchanged campaign.

The 2023 F2 championship ended up with 26 races over 13 rounds after the cancellation of the Emiglia Romagna Grand Prix led to the knock on removal of the Imola round of the F2 championship. This year F2 will return to that 14 round plan, with all other races remaining the same other than Qatar.

The switch, removing a round in the crowded summer months, will mean there isn’t as long a break in the season after the European rounds end in September. After Monza at the start of September the F2 teams will head to Baku two weeks later before a month’s gap. Then a back-to-back trip to the Middle East will include races at Lusail in Qatar and Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi. 

The season will kick off nine months earlier in Bahrain alongside the first round of the F1 championship and follow Formula 1 into a back-to-back with Jeddah. Australia will follow at the end of March before a near-two-month gap allows the cars to return to Europe for the round at Imola.

Monaco, Barcelona, Speilberg, Silverstone, Budapest and Spa will make up the bulk of the European season before the traditional summer break. The cars and teams returning to action at Monza before the new run in. The return to a 14 round calendar means 28 races for the F2 teams, with more flyaway events outside of Europe than ever before.

F3, which also supports F1, announced its calendar at the same time. The third rung on that F1 ladder will have ten rounds in 2024, with the calendar mostly the same as seen in 2023. Unlike its bigger brother F3 only has two rounds outside of Europe – the opening F1 round in Bahrain and a trip across the world to Australia – and eight in the traditional heartland.

The championship will also race at Imola and Monaco before a long break enforced by the move of F1’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix to the latter part of the season. The youngest drivers in the F1 circus will then race at the Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, Hungaroring, Spa and Monza to round out their 2024 season.
