As India’s only city-based franchise league for 4-wheel racing and the world’s gender neutral racing series, IRF is fast becoming a premier platform to redefine motorsport in the country.
The 2025 edition of IRF will span five competitive race weekends, starting with Coimbatore in August and concluding later this year in a city yet to be revealed. Each race weekend will feature teams competing with strategy, elite driver talent, and precision engineering.
The 2025 grid is expected to boast top-tier talent from the Indian subcontinent and international drivers, featuring 14 city-based teams. Eight teams will compete in Formula 4, and six will compete in the Indian Racing League. The franchise includes teams from Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, Goa, Kochi, and Ahmedabad.
