The 2023 Formula Micras World Championship is a motor racing championship for single-seater cars which will be the second running of the Formula Micras World Championship. It is recognised by the Micras Federation of Motorsport (MFM), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars on Micras. The championship is contested over a number of 16 Grands Prix, which are held around the world.
After the presentation of the official calendar, the season will take place from May 2023 until December 2023, racing in 16 different Grands Prix. In contrast to the previous season, which was completed from mid-2022 through mid-2023, this one will be completed by the end of the year 2023, thus aligning for subsequent seasons to be completed within the calendar year.
Drivers and teams are competing for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion, respectively.
Official calendar
The calendar was made official during the 2022-23 season and includes 16 Grand Prixes, held in 13 countries on Micras. The current program foresees the start of the season on 5 May0 2023 with the Vegnese Grand Prix in Cossa, chosen as the inaugural venue again for the second season of Formula Micras and will close, with the Northcliff Grand Prix, on 17 December 2023.
It's confirmed the presence of one season-break in summer from 17 July to 14 September, in order to give the participating teams holidays and time to develop the cars.

Entries
The following constructors and drivers are currently under contract to compete in the 2022-23 World Championship. Each team can compete with tyres supplied by Vitesse or Bouncy Rings. Each team is required to enter two drivers, one for each of the two mandatory cars, and one reserve driver.
Team and driver changes
Compared to the 2022 season, the Mercurian team, Compton Motors, after the bad past season, decided not to re-enter for the following year, leaving a slot free on the grid. Requests to join the Formula Micras circus were, already during the previous season, very numerous and in fact there are two new teams signing up for the championship: Bintang Motorsports and Galaxical Territories FM Team, respectively from Daau and Phinbella. Both stables field two new drivers of the same nationality as the teams.
As for the drivers, most of the teams confirm the same as the previous year, continuing with the same line-up.
Scuderia DaeZoom FM announces, already during the last races of the 2022 season, the signing of Francesco Giocatore from Sburo, who finds a Tellian team again. Sburo replaces the departing Giocatore with Ben Lloyd, who was left without a seat after the depart of Compton Motors, convinced by the Mercurian driver's excellent season finale. Ddraig-Llywelyn Racing instead decides, with much media hype, to downgrade the driver Harwic Gywion, winner of the first ever Formula Micras race in Vegno, to third driver and promote the young Gareth Osian, while Titan does the same with Mark Alexander, author of a bad season 2022, without however having yet announced who will take his place.
Regulation changes
Tenical regulations
Compared to last season, where teams were free to develop and modify the car as they wished, this year there are significant changes. In fact, the regulations for the 2023 season provide for the mandatory use by all teams of certain spec components, which must be the same for all teams and cannot be developed during the season: brakes, suspension and gearbox. The projects of these 3 components are distributed before the season by MFM to all the teams, who then have to produce them autonomously in their factories, without the possibility of modifications. The engine and the front and rear wings are instead left in total freedom to the teams, who can modify and develop them autonomously throughout the season.
Sporting Regulations
The number of sets of tires available for each weekend are limited to 15 for each car, in 3 different compounds, decided in advance by the federation and which can be supplied by the teams through the two official suppliers (Vitesse or Bouncy Rings).
The additional points for Pole Position on Saturday and for the fastest lap on Sunday are maintained, which from this season are no longer worth just one point but two, as already happens for Pole Position.
As regard the race, the drivers who access the last phase of qualifying (Q3), so the first 10 drivers on the grid, are obliged to start on Sunday with the same tire with which they qualified for Q3: they will therefore have to start with the tire with which they set the fastest time during the second session. All the other drviers, therefore those qualified from 11th to 22nd position, will instead be able to freely choose the starting tire.
