For every season that comes to an end, there’s always one ready to begin. The 2025 F1 Academy calendar has been revealed, featuring the addition of three new venues where the category’s drivers will compete.
The current F1 Academy season, with Abbi Pulling leading the standings, is nearing its end and will conclude alongside the final Formula 1 event at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, from December 6 to December 8, where the new champion will be crowned, succeeding Marta Garcia. Meanwhile, attention is already turning to the 2025 championship, with the calendar for the upcoming season announced, featuring three new tracks in the series managed by Susie Wolff.
The F1 Academy will make its debut in China, where the new season will kick off, before returning to the Jeddah circuit (Round 2) and the Miami circuit (Round 3), both of which were already featured in the 2024 calendar. In addition to stopping in Shanghai, Susie Wolff’s drivers will have the opportunity to race on the legendary Gilles Villeneuve Circuit in Canada (Round 4), before concluding the season in Las Vegas (Round 7), after stops in the Netherlands (Round 5) and Singapore (Round 6).
Additionally, as reported by F1 Academy itself, “the 2025 season will feature 14 races across seven rounds, and as part of the series’ commitment to providing ample track time, the calendar will be supported by a comprehensive 15-day testing program.”
Susie Wolff: “Ending our season in Las Vegas will be an iconic moment.”
“I am proud to announce our F1 ACADEMY 2025 calendar, which demonstrates our continued commitment to taking the series to new heights, expanding our global reach and bringing our mission to an increasingly diverse and engaged global audience” comments Susie Wolff, who has been leading the F1 Academy for two seasons.
“I want to thank our promoters for their enthusiasm and support, and for joining us on our journey to create opportunities for women to thrive at every level of our sport” The former British driver continued, expressing her excitement about the opportunity to race on the Las Vegas circuit, highlighting the massive support the F1 Academy has received from the premier motorsport series, as well as from Liberty Media.: “Finishing our season in Las Vegas will be an iconic moment, and its addition to the calendar is testament to the wealth of support we receive from Formula 1 and Liberty Media“.
The opportunity to race in three new continents not only provides the drivers with the chance to further compete on the same circuits as Formula 1, but also helps bring new fans to the category and inspire young women who dream of pursuing a career in motorsport. Furthermore, in just two seasons, the F1 Academy’s audience has grown exponentially, thanks to the broadcasting of the sessions in 160 countries—a viewership that is likely to increase further with the upcoming Netflix docuseries, in the style of Formula 1: Drive To Survive, set to air in 2025.
In this regard, Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, commented: “F1 ACADEMY continues to go from strength to strength, delivering brilliant on-track action for our fans and inspiring young girls and women around the world. We are seeing huge interest in the series, and it is fantastic that the calendar features new venues and once again spans three continents, meaning we can continue to build our audiences and connect with fans around the world“.
“I would like to thank our race promoters who continue to support F1 ACADEMY so passionately. What has been achieved in just two years since the series was launched has been incredible, and I cannot wait to see the cars hit the track again next year ” concluded Domenicali, thanking the stakeholders who contribute to supporting the women’s category, and expressing his excitement for the upcoming season.
