We have finally reached the first stage of the new women's category, in its second year of life. The F1 Academy flies to Jeddah to hold the first race weekend of the 2024 season: Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. In fact, it joins Formula 1 and the categories minor F2 and F3. Let's see the session times and where to see the F1 Academy.

Unlike Formula 1, as we saw in guide to the new category, the F1 Academy Free Practice only includes a 40-minute session.
Thursday 7 March, the drivers of the 5 F1 Academy teams – Prema, Art Grand Prix, Rodin, Campos Racing and MP Motorsport – reunite 12: 00 – Italian time – to compete on the Jeddah circuit Free tests.
Everlasting Thursday March 7 at 19pm they will begin qualifications which will determine the grid for the 2 races foreseen by the new regulation which came into force for the 2024 season. Last year there were 3 races and 2 qualifying.
From this year the qualifying session will only be one which will serve for both races, one of which will have the grid reversed.
For the two F1 Academy races we will have to wait for Friday 8 March and Saturday 9 March. Friday the first race is at 13:05 while, Saturday the second race is 13: 00.
One of the many new features of 2024 brings the F1 Academy broadcast on Sky Sport F1 and streaming up NOW, just like Formula 1 and the preparatory categories F2 and F3. The press conferences of the pilots are not yet available for now.
Furthermore, for this race we will see a sixteenth driver on track thanks to the entry into force of the Wild Card which is assigned by the reigning champion team: Prema.
All you have to do is follow the races and stay updated with YawClub to find out more about the women's category directed by Susie Wolff and find out, at the end of the championship, which points were awarded in the Superlicence.
