Season summary

Opening Rounds

The first official season of Formula Micras starts in Vegno, where the official headquarters of the MFM is located. In Cossa, in the first qualifying of the season, there is an Enigma Motorsports front row lockout with George Hunt and Florian Schaffnaust in first and second position; in the race, however, the music changes and Harwic Gywion, who started from fifth place, immediately climbs back to the top positions and does not leave the leadership of the grand prix until its conclusion, also scoring the fastest lap. Second position for Samira Khan who comes up from the eighth of the start and completes the podium Hunt, who however started from pole position. Only eight points for the home team Sburo Deliziosa FM Team, with Francesco Giocatore sixth and Michele Spettacolo out of the points.

The situation changes, however, already in Floria, where this time to win in qualifying are both the two cars of the CräiteAuto Grand Prix team, which also in this case occupy the entire front row, while both Sburo Deliziosa FM Team start behind them. In the race, however, everything happens and both Brolt and Herbertson-Panner lose many positions at the start to the advantage of an incredible Max Treuenfeld who begins his climb from sixth position and goes to win the first edition of the Florian Grand Prix accompanied on the podium by Samira Khan, on the second consecutive podium in his career, and Toshio Soma. Only sixth position also in this case for the Titan Motorsports home team.

At Hjardef for the Craitish GP, Treuenfeld gets his second consecutive victory, moving just a few points away from championship leader Khan and directly proposing himself as the first rival of the driver from the Benacian Union. At the next race in Senya however, Trent Cooper triumphed, conquering the first success of his career and entering the fight for the championship, while Treuenfel, thanks to a mistake in the early stages of the race, finished out of the points and lost a gap from the leader . However, the situation changes again in Benacia, where Khan, in his home race, ends up outside the points despite the fastest lap of the race, and the winner for the first time is the Vegnese Spettacolo and immediately behind him complete the podium Cooper and Treuenfeld , who conquers the top of the drivers' championship for the first time this season. The first third of the championship ends in Calbion, where Trent Cooper wins again, overtaking Treuenfeld in the standings, who however ends up on the lowest step of the podium, and takes the lead in the championship standings by just one point. while Khan remains 10 points behind in third place.

Mid-season

Samira Khan's real comeback begins in Mercury who, starting from second place in qualifying, conquers her first victory of the season and returns to the top of the drivers' standings thanks to a serious mistake by Treuenfeld who goes off the track in the first laps and an uphill race for Cooper who has to settle for just one point. In the Thraci Grand Prix, thanks to the second victory of the season, Michele Spettacolo moved into third position in the world standings, overtaking an almost unrecognizable Treuenfeld who only finished fifth, while Cooper, thanks to second place, closed the distances from Khan. In Krasnovlac Cooper takes home his third victory of the season and regains the lead in the drivers' championship, while a bad race in Spettacolo now takes him almost out and far from the fight for the title; Khan, with third place in Novuksola still remains attached to the top. In Etzeland Cooper and Khan close each other and finish first in 4th place and second on the lowest step of the podium, causing only a small change in the world rankings; the winner of the race for the first time in his career is the Tellian Poempresario who, after three pole positions in his curriculum vitae, also gets his first victory of the season. In the two GPs of Phinbella and Forajasaki Samira Khan gets full booty, winning both races with a margin, while Cooper manages to limit the damage in third position in the first GP and is however forced to retire after a bad mistake that leads him to crash into the barriers in the second GP and therefore lose the championship lead with a good 30 points disadvantage.

In Hurmu, after the umpteenth pole position of Scuderia DaeZoom in great strength on the flying lap with Qualcompresario, Vorgen Brolt of CraitAuto takes center stage, who after a complicated start to the season, thanks to the developments brought to the track, manages to conquer the first win for the Craitish team. The two contenders for the world title are only fifth and sixth with cooper recovering only two points from the lead. The last race before the winter break was held in Nouvelle Alexandrie and saw a bad performance from the two protagonists of the world struggle, who both finished outside the points, approached by Qualchempresario and Treuenfeld in the drivers' standings; the winner in this chaotic race is Korespo, the first exciting victory in his career and for the Krasno team Waxhai.

Final rounds

From the Tellian Grand Prix, the race for the championship took a clear and decisive direction towards Trent Cooper. The victory of Max Treuenfeld, who started only from the eighth place, brought him back in the heat of the fight for the title, while Khan takes home the second consecutive "zero"; Cooper limited the damage by bringing home an excellent fourth position and recovering 12 points from the championship leader. In Sanama, it was definitely Vorgen Brolt's day who, thanks to an extraordinary strategy at one stop compared to the two of the other drivers, managed to bring home the victory starting from 9th position on the grid, with Max Treuenfeld once again on the podium in second position which brings the gap from the top of the championship to less than twenty points.

However, the real turning point of the season took place at the Northbloom Grand Prix, the home of the Mondozoom driver, where, after the umpteenth pole season Qualchempresario (later disqualified on Sunday for a rear wing that did not comply with the regulations), the championship leader Samira Khan crashed in the first laps, easily leaving first and second place to his two pursuers in the world championship: Trent Cooper and Max Treuenfeld. Both climb the two highest steps of the podium and this allows the first to take the top of the drivers' standings which he hadn't had since the Etzeland Grand Prix and which had been in Khan's hands for 7 uninterrupted races; Treunfeld on the other hand sees his gap from second place narrow to just one point and just twelve off the pace.

At the Victorian Grand Prix, however, the scene was taken by Maddox Islwyn who brought home the first victory of his career and the second for a Calbain driver; the hopes of Max Treuenfeld on Saturday, who started from pole position, are thwarted by an engine failure just 3 laps from the end, which forces the Mondozoom driver to retire, while Cooper manages, in fifth place, to then slightly extend his lead . In Lamantia, Cooper almost definitively repeated his leadership with a fantastic weekend to say the least: first in free practice on Friday, pole position on Saturday and victory on Sunday. Max Treuenfeld comes home in second place, keeping his title hopes alive and overtaking an unrecognizable Khan in the standings, once again off the podium for the sixth consecutive race.

On the eve of the Northcliff Grand Prix, the situation in the championship is very rosy for Cooper, who can hope to win the championship right at his home grand prix: in fact, he just needs not to lose more than four points against Treuenfeld and only 1 against Khan. In fact, Northcliff is sold out, with a record number of tickets sold, especially among Florian fans, aware that it takes very little for the Titan driver to win the title. On Saturday, however, Samira Khanshowed her qualities and took home the pole position, while Cooper, just over two tenths away, finished second; only eighth Max Treuenfeld. The race is totally another story because Samira Khan has a strong spin at the start and is overtaken by both Cooper and Korespo, who manages to keep the lead until the end and bring home his second success in his career. Cooper never attacks Korespo during the race, aware that he doesn't need it to win, and takes home a second place that earns him the first title of Formula Micras World Champion, amidst an incredible crowd of Florian fans; bottom step of the podium for Treuenfeld who brings home another solid result, but not enough for the title.

The last Grand Prix of the season is held again in Vegno, on the Autodromo Nazionale di Mhazar, for the Campoasciutto Grand Prix: a pure formality for the drivers' championship, already decided last weekend, but still valid for the constructors' championship, where at the Typhon Group, in the lead for almost the entire season, takes very little to repeat the success and their first title. Samira Khan took pole on Saturday and also kept the lead throughout the GP on Sunday, taking the fourth victory in his career and in the season, giving his team the constructors' title, despite the disappointment of the drivers' championship, where he finished in second position bypassing Treuenfeld. Cooper, already champion with one race to spare, took to the track during free practice with the number 1 to celebrate his victory, and climbed the podium once again on Sunday, demonstrating great consistency also in the last few races.
