During 2026 and 2027, the series aims to take its first steps, growing its aforementioned fan membership, finding team owners and progressing in other areas as well, such as design.
In 2027, they will focus on testing and pilot activity. Then, 2028/29 is the competition's target year to begin racing with 24 V10 and 24 V8 cars.
Anthony Hamilton also explained that more details will arrive through this month. He concluded: "I can build this alone, but I'd rather build it together with the fans and those who want to help shape the future of a new motorsport platform."
