Officials with the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile have announced the 2026 season of the PZM Polish Digital Motorsport Championship (MPDM).

The season launched this month with a new format that offers drivers the opportunity to compete for championship titles, major prizes and a development pathway supporting progression onto the track.

The opening round of the championship was held at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben on the iRacing platform, the official technology partner of the championship.

After a hiatus, MPDM returns in 2026 as a nationwide digital motorsport series organized together with the Polish Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (PZM), aligned with the FIA vision for the future of sim racing and digital motor sport competition.

MPDM 2026 is the first stage of a three-year development program designed to create a professional pathway for sim racing drivers and build a real bridge between virtual racing and on-track motorsports.

Drivers compete in FIA F4 cars across four championship rounds, with up to 120 competitors divided into four splits. In addition to the official Polish Championship titles, prizes include Formula Renault 2.0 test sessions from Formula Drive, gift cards and DriveLab Coaching sim racing training.

Every MPDM round (Split 1 and Split 2) is broadcast live on MPDM-Polska channel on YouTube and features full commentary, stewarding and race control.

Further information about the season, registration, and schedule is available on the MPDM platform and on fia.com.
