Formula Regional Oceania status confirmed for Castrol TRS

The Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship - certified by FIA will become the most important single seater championship in New Zealand, Australia and beyond and will reward its champion with a signifcantly increased haul of 18 Super Licence points, up from 10. Super Licence points will be awarded all the way down to the ninth place overall finisher.

The Oceania region covers a significant geographical area which includes Australia and New Zealand as well as the Pacific Islands.

The convenient scheduling of the New Zealand championship over five weekends in New Zealand's summer time - offering perfect timing for drivers looking for a competitive and relevant career championship before the Northern hemisphere summer season begins - means it is likely to become a very popular addition to the international roster of FIA-certified FR championships.

It will also be an extremely cost effective FR championship with drivers getting 3,500km of testing, practice, qualifying and race time on five of New Zealand's best and most challenging tracks.
