New all-female F1 Academy series to support US Grand Prix

LONDON : Formula One's new all-female F1 Academy series will be on the support programme for the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin next October according to a seven round, 21-race calendar published on Thursday.

There will then be a long gap to the finale in Texas to allow cars and equipment to be transported by ship to save on logistical costs. Drivers must be at least 16 years old and each has to bring 150,000 euros in funding, with Formula One matching that amount and teams raising the rest of the budget.

"Our goal was to be able to race on as many Formula One grand prix tracks as possible, with circuits that could be a great challenge for the drivers," said F1 Academy general manager Bruno Michel.
