Formula 2, the principal feeder category to Formula 1, revealed on Monday (the 5th) its calendar for the 2027 season. The category will continue with 14 rounds contested in the current format, featuring one Sprint race and a main race, and its news include maintaining the races in North America, which took place for the first time this year due to conflicts that prevented events in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
The championship will open between March 12 and 14 with the Bahrain round at the Sakhir circuit, and it will conclude on December 10-12, with races scheduled for the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. In addition to these two rounds, the Middle East also has events slated for Saudi Arabia in Jeddah and in Qatar at Lusail.
A grande novidade são as provas na América do Norte. Montreal, que neste ano recebeu a terceira etapa do campeonato, passa a ser o quarto destino da F2 em 2027, com a categoria visitando o Canadá entre os dias 20 e 23 de maio. Já o Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, na Cidade do México, contará pela primeira vez com uma etapa da categoria, nos dias 29, 30 e 31 de outubro. Além disso, Istambul, na Turquia, também terá uma etapa, entre 1º e 3 de outubro.
“I am very excited to add three new venues in a financially sustainable way, with Montreal returning after its surprise inclusion in 2026 and the first participation of Istanbul and Mexico City. We will cover the freight costs so that the geographic expansion of the calendar does not impose a financial burden on our teams,” says Bruno Michel, CEO of Formula 2.
“With a calendar spanning four continents and a carefully distributed sequence of rounds, Formula 2 will offer teams and drivers a demanding and diverse season, while taking the category to new audiences and strengthening its position as a global platform for the next generation of Formula 1 talents,” Michel adds.
“The F2 calendar for 2027 will bring another exciting season, with 14 rounds at some of the most iconic and challenging circuits in world motorsport, including the inclusion of Istanbul and Mexico City. F2 continues to play a fundamental role as the definitive pathway to F1, offering the most promising young drivers the opportunity to compete on the same stage as the pinnacle of our sport and to showcase their talent to fans, teams, and partners around the world,” says Stefano Domenicali, CEO of F1.
“Year after year, the championship delivers exceptional races and helps shape the next generation of F1 stars. I would like to thank the FIA President and all his team, Bruno Michel and his team, as well as all of our promoters, partners, officials, stewards and volunteers, whose dedication and commitment make this championship possible. I look forward to another highly competitive season in 2027,” adds Domenicali.
