The 2026 Aramco Formula 4 Saudi Arabia championship season began with the release of tickets for a series of racing events, including the Motor Mania festival. The season schedule was set to include six rounds across Saudi Arabia and Qatar, starting in October at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

The opening round at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit concluded with Archie Owen and Marlon Bayer securing victories.

Following these results, Owen and Bayer are tied at the top of the general standings with 40 points each. The two-race event featured 15 drivers competing for FIA-sanctioned points. Local participation included Saudi drivers such as Hamza Al-Fayez, who moved from 12th to 9th place during the second race. Prince Khalid bin Sultan Al Faisal presided over the podium ceremonies, noting the championship’s importance in developing young talent and creating pathways for national drivers. The series is scheduled to continue in Jeddah before moving to the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar in December.
