Formula Regional is the second rung on the FIA's single-seater ladder towards the top levels of racing competition. Over the past decade, the FIA has made great efforts to correctly balance the steps, young competitors make as they climb the racing ladder and Formula Regional provides these drivers with an exceptional environment in which to take the lessons learned in Formula 4 to find new levels of performance before accessing global series like FIA Formula 3, FIA Formula 2 and finally FIA Formula 1.
