F1 ACADEMY drivers to get super licence points and wild card entries introduced for 2024 season
F1 ACADEMY has announced three important developments ahead of the 2024 season, with the series’ second campaign set to get under way in support of Formula 1 at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in March.
If this can get super licence points (and for the record, I think it's great that it does), why not IndyCar or similarly situated series? I'd love to see drivers like Colton Herta on the grid.
I think you're under a misconception. A lot of series give super license points, full overview here:

This is a stark over-preferation of F1 Academy over other F4 series though.
You're correct re: my mistakes. Thanks for correcting me!
Sounds like some good changes are being made. Hopefully this endeavour will prove more useful than Formula W.
Indeed. It would be great to have a female driver make it onto the grid, so long as they're being set up for success and not just pushed on to the grid to be a back marker. At that point, in my opinion it'd be a lose-lose for the driver and the FIA.
The wild card idea sounds great in order to get drivers in for a weekend who arent interested in doing a full season.
Though I wonder: obviously those points cant count for the teams championship?
Anyone know if it is being properly televised this year? Enjoyed w series but predictably the first f1 academy season passed me by largely
It should be aired on F1TV like other support series. I cannot find the article ATM
Oh that will be great if so!
