The FIA has released its Formula 4 UAE Championship powered by Abarth official racing calendar for 2017/18, with more races and track time confirmed across a condensed six-round Championship.

With four 30-minute races at every event during the upcoming season—which equates to 40 minutes of additional competitive racing at each round compared to last season—the 2017/18 Championship will begin in mid-December at Yas Marina Circuit and run through March 2018, along with additional pre-season test days that will be confirmed in the coming months.

With a total 24 races across the season, four rounds will be run at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi—the Home of F4UAE—while two will be run on the international circuit configuration at the Dubai Autodrome.

However, one of the biggest developments for what is the second season of F4UAE features three events that will be held back-to-back early in 2018, which is aimed to be a cost-effective and time efficient solution for international teams.

The schedule is detailed below. For more information, visit the FIA website.
