2024 MRF Formula 2000 season

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 MRF Formula 2000 season is the tenth running of the Formula 2000-level single-seater championship in India previously known as the MRF Challenge. This is the third season of the championship restarted in 2022 without support of the FIA and simply called MRF Formula 2000, with the field consisting of domestic drivers rather than foreign racers competing over the European and Northern American off-season.

The season began on 17 February 2024 and will be run over five weekends until September 2024.[1]
