The 2024 Giti Australian Formula Open is a multi-event open-wheel single seater motor racing championship. This is the second season of the championship, founded by two-time Australian Gold Star winner Tim Macrow in 2023 as a direct successor to the Australian Formula 3 championship .[1]
The championship is structured in four classes. AFO1 encompasses all Formula 3 machinery, with several chassis and engine manufacturers represented. AFO2 caters to Toyota Racing Series , Formula Renault and older F3 cars. AFO3 serves all other invitational entries, while AFO4 is reserved for Formula 4 cars.[2] [3] All cars run on Giti tires, and all drivers and teams are Australian-registered.[4]
The 2024 calendar was first announced on 23 November 2023. It is planned to consist of seven rounds across six circuits mainly situated in southeast Australia, one more than in 2023 as a second round at Sydney Motorsport Park was added.[9]
