- To capture the imagination of motorsports fans, IRF offers two championships: Indian Racing League (IRL) and FIA Formula 4 Indian Championship (F4IC).
- This groundbreaking event marks the first night race on a street circuit in India. Over three days, eight teams will light up the track with their high-speed machines.
- A 3.5-kilometre stretch, the Chennai Formula Racing Circuit was made by RPPL in collaboration with the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT).
- Termed as Detroit of Southern Asia, Chennai is the country's motorsports hub. While the metropolis boasts other race tracks and has held multiple race events in past, this race will add glory to its rich heritage.
- The track commences at Island Grounds and weaves past several key landmarks. Nineteen turns, multiple chicanes, and tricky elevations punctuate long stretches of tarmac, keeping both drivers and fans on their toes.
- The six-franchise team league is approved by FMSCI (Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India), making it the most trusted and authentic race destination in the country.
- Meanwhile, the FIA-certified Formula 4 Indian Championship is an open-wheel, single-seater racing event that has begun attracting young, talented, and aspiring drivers from across the country, as well as the world.
- The latest, adrenaline-fueled season of the IRF gets underway with pre-season testing on August 22 and 23, followed by the opening round on August 24 and 25 at the Madras International Circuit.
