The third season of the FIA-certified Aramco F4 Saudi Arabian Championship, the Kingdom’s first national single-seater series, began today with 15 drivers from eight teams. The opening round runs until October 3, organized by ALTAWKILAT Motorsport under the sporting regulations of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation.

Last year’s second edition, held in 2025 over five rounds and 10 races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia with 20 drivers, was won by Britain’s Kit Belofsky (Team PEAX) on 189 points, ahead of the UAE’s Adam Al Azhari (Team VALVOLINE) on 125 and Sweden’s Scott Lindblom (Team REDBULL) on 108.

The 2026 calendar grows to six rounds from October to December, widening the series’ regional reach and giving drivers more racing and experience. Jeddah Corniche Circuit hosts the first four rounds: October 1–3, October 7–8, October 31–November 2 and November 6–7. Round 5 moves to Lusail International Circuit in Qatar on December 7–9, and the season ends with round six on December 13–14.

The international grid includes Arab drivers Faris Organji and Abdullah Kamel of Saudi Arabia, Zakaria Doleh of the UAE, Hamza Al Fayez of Jordan and George Nassar of Lebanon. All race identical Tatuus T421 – Abarth F4 Gen2 cars, so results depend on talent, skill and racecraft.
