2026 Championship

The 2026 Championship

Two Classes, One Grid

The AU4 Championship features a two-class structure that ensures accessibility while maintaining the highest international standards:

Championship Class (Gen2)

Featuring the Tatuus F4-T421, the same chassis used in European and UAE championships. This class is for drivers aged 15+ and serves as the ultimate benchmark for those targeting F3, F2, and F1.

Junior & Masters Cups (Gen1)

Utilising the proven Mygale M14-F4, this class allows drivers as young as 14 to begin their car-racing careers early. It also provides a dedicated home for “Masters” competitors looking to experience the thrill of wings-and-slicks racing at a national level.
