Regulation changes

Technical regulations
  • The season will see the introduction of a brand new chassis and engine package. The Dallara F2 2018 chassis, which had been used by Formula 2 since 2018 season, will be replaced by a new chassis adapted to the current concept of a Formula One car. Like last season, a turbocharged 3.4-litre V6 Mecachrome engine will be used, albeit being an evolution of the previously used one.[8]
  • Formula 2 ran with 55% sustainable fuel supplied by Aramco in 2023.[9] An increase in sustainability is planned for 2024 to continue working towards usage of a 100% sustainable fuel by 2027.[10]
