Current season

The Kyojo Cup is an all-female formula racing championship held in Japan founded in 2017 by Masanori Sekiya as a support championship for the Inter Proto Series.[1]

Having run to the same specifications as the FCR Vita championship since 2017, the series switched to the KC-MG01 ahead of the 2025 season.[2][3]

Event format

In the first eight seasons of the championship, the race weekends consisted of one qualifying session and one race, held on the same day.[4]

From 2025 onwards, the series switched to a two-race format consisting of a "Sprint" race, held on Saturday, and a "Final" race, held on Sunday.[5]
