2022 Formula Regional Indian Championship

The 2022 Formula Regional Indian Championship will be a multi-event, Formula Regional open-wheel single seater motor racing championship held across India. This will be the inaugural season of the championship, which will also be the first FIA-sanctioned championship to be held in India, together with its support series, the F4 Indian Championship.[1]

Teams and drivers

All drivers will compete with Alfa Romeo-powered Tatuus F3 T-318 cars. All cars will be run by Prema Powerteam.[2] The drivers will be selected by the championship's organizers and Prema Powerteam.[3]

Race calendar

The original 2022 calendar was announced on 19 August 2021, planned to be held over five three-race weekends in February and March of 2022.[2] However, in January 2022, the season was postponed until November because of the pandemic's resurgence.

In March of 2022, a new provisional calendar was announced. The championship will take place in several permanent racetracks, and two rounds will be held on the first ever FIA-graded Indian street circuit, at Hyderabad.[4]

The weekend's format is set to have three races per weekend with one single qualifying session. The fastest lap will award pole position for Race 1, while the grid for the third race will be set according to the 2nd fastest lap of every driver at the qualifying session. Race 2 will be a reverse grid race from the results of the first race.[3]
