Championship Overview

The 2017 Formula B season is the current season of Formula B, a league designated as the premier feeder series for the Formula A World Championship.

The season will be contested over the course of 12 events, 11 of which will serve as support races for Formula A Grands Prix. The opening race will take place at Shanghai International Circuit in China, while the finale will take place at Yas Marina Circuit in the United Arab Emirates. The single standalone date on the calendar is the seventh round of the championship; the Finnish Grand Prix, which will take place at Karjala Raceway.

These drivers include three from Australia, three from Japan, two from Italy, and one each from Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, England, France, Ireland, Latvia, Germany, Greece, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United States, and Venezuela.
