From the developer

I've followed Formula 1 since I was a kid, through driver eras, team mergers, regulation changes, all of it. When F1 Academy launched in 2023, I tuned in from the start. It felt overdue: a structured single seater championship dedicated to bringing more women into the sport, with proper seats, sponsorship, and serious racing.

A few seasons in, the grid is deeper, the racing is sharper, and graduates are starting to find places in feeder championships. The series doesn't need defending — the results do that on their own.

Academy Fantasy started as a question I couldn't stop turning over: every major motorsport series has a fantasy game. F1 Academy didn't. So I built one — partly because I'm a fan, partly because I'm a developer looking to ship something I'd actually use myself, and partly because anything that puts more eyes on the series is a good thing.

It's free to play. No money, no ads, no upsells. Race results come from Wikipedia. Pick four drivers under a budget, score across the weekend, climb the leaderboard with friends.

Thanks for trying it out. If it adds a little something to your race weekends, that's the whole point.
