2025 Formula Regional Oceania Championship
The 2025 Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship is scheduled to be the third season of the Formula Regional Oceania Championship, and the twentieth running of the premier open-wheel motorsport category formerly known as the Toyota Racing Series, held in New Zealand. It will be held over five consecutive weekends in January and February 2024.
Entry list
[edit]All drivers will compete with identical Tatuus FT-60 chassis cars powered by 2.0L turbocharged Toyota engines running on 100% fossil-free fuel.[1][2]
Race calendar
[edit]The 2025 race calendar was announced in July of 2024.[3] The championship will again consist of five weekends. Highlands Motorsport Park was intended to leave the calendar and was replaced by Teretonga Park, which returned after a one-year absence. However, on 2 September 2024, it was announced that the 69th running of the New Zealand Grand Prix will be held in Highlands Motorsport Park instead of Euromarque Motorsport Park, so the latter will leave the calendar.[4]
