F1 Academy is a female-only single-seater racing championship established by the Formula One Group. Operating at the Formula 4 level, it is a spec series where all teams compete with identical Tatuus F4-T421 chassis, Pirelli tires, and Autotecnica Motori engines. The championship is designed to prepare and promote female drivers for higher levels of motorsport.
The organization is notable for its focus on increasing gender diversity in professional racing by providing a dedicated platform for women. By standardizing equipment, the series aims to highlight driver talent rather than team budgets, creating a more level competitive field. This initiative is part of broader efforts within motorsport to address historical underrepresentation.
Recently, F1 Academy has been in the news due to its ongoing championship events in Las Vegas, featuring intense qualifying sessions and practice rounds. Headlines have highlighted standout performances from drivers such as Doriane Pin and Chloe Chambers, as well as the entry of a new racing team with a unique philosophy. Additional coverage has noted new sponsorship deals, including a performance partnership for rookie Lisa Billard, underscoring the series' growing commercial appeal.
