The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, is pleased to announce a new entry model for the FIA F4 World Cup that will guarantee top junior single-seater teams from across the globe contest the eagerly anticipated second running in November.
 
After the announcement last month that the follow up edition of the showpiece event for the FIA’s entry-level single-seater category will be run as part of the billing of the 73rd Macau Grand Prix (November 19-22), the highly successful multi-team model, used for the FIA FR World Cup, will now be adopted for the FIA F4 World Cup.
 
It follows an evaluation of the arrive-and-drive concept that was trialled for last season’s inaugural FIA F4 World Cup, when some of the sport’s most promising young drivers assembled to race for one central operation.
 
All drivers will use Pirelli-equipped Formula 4 cars on the Guia Circuit, one of the world’s most challenging and iconic street tracks, with more details to be announced soon.

The second FIA F4 World Cup also features an expanded grid size in 2026 with 24 spaces now available after the line-up was limited to 20 cars in 2025.
 
In partnership with the FIA, the Automobile General Association Macao-China (AAMC) will pre-select the top-performing teams from national Formula 4 Championships Certified by the FIA based on their sporting results.
 
These teams will each nominate a line-up of drivers, many of whom will be building their experience of the Guia Circuit for the first time, for what promises to be a highly competitive 24-car entry.
 
Co-organised by FIA Member Club, the Automobile General Association Macao-China (AAMC), the Macau Grand Prix is widely recognised as a proving ground for rising stars of motor sport, with the event’s 6.120-kilometre layout firmly established as a tough but rewarding track to take on.
 
FIA Single-Seater Commission President Emanuele Pirro said: “The introduction of the FIA F4 World Cup last season provided the perfect opportunity for drivers starting their single-seater adventures to build their knowledge and understanding of the Guia Circuit and Macao as a whole at an entry level before they hopefully progress to the FIA FR World Cup in the future. We are very pleased to see Formula 4 continuing to grow, with the FIA F4 World Cup in Macao reflecting the category’s international reach and bringing together the best young drivers worldwide. The introduction of team-operated entries, in line with the FIA FR World Cup model, alongside an expanded grid, further strengthens the platform we offer to emerging drivers on the global stage.”
