The FIA F4 World Cup will grow from 20 to 24 cars for its second edition at Macau’s November 19–22, 2026 event. The FIA’s October 16 entry announcement confirms a switch to a multi-team format: 12 teams will each run two Pirelli-equipped Tatuus F4-T421 cars.

Teams represent 10 countries, while the drivers represent 21 countries or special administrative regions. That distinction explains why the two geographical totals differ.

Champions join the entry

The selected pairings include British F4 champion Dries van Langendonck and Italian F4 champion Luka Sammalisto. This is an entry announcement, not qualifying order or a prediction of the finishing positions.

These four pairings are a selection, not the complete 12-team field. The full entry is in the FIA announcement linked above.

How to follow

The FIA says coverage will be live and free on its official YouTube channel. November 19–22 is the event window; viewers should check the final session timetable before planning around a particular race.

F4 provides a route toward Formula Regional, but an entry here is not a guarantee of promotion.
