Ambition GP

Out at Queensland Raceway for the next few days. James Raaymakers driving the F4

The FIA is upgrading Formula 4 helmet requirements for FIA Certified F4 events only to the ABP (Advanced Ballistic Protection) standard, starting in 2026!

Previously reserved for F1, F2, and F3, this tech brings:
✅ A reinforced forehead area for debris protection
✅ A narrower eyeport for increased structural strength
✅ Better energy absorption in frontal impacts

Bringing top-tier safety standards to the junior categories is a massive win. Good to see the FIA doubling down on protection for open-wheel rising stars. 👏

The 2026 AU4 Championship calendar, promoted by AGI Sport, is set 👊

Five rounds, three circuits. Next season will be big for Australia’s junior formula pathway 👉 bit.ly/4porhLP

F4 on a street circuit, and possibly the first for most of the drivers too.

The returns from 13–16 November, featuring FIA World Cups for FR, GT and Formula 4.
