Super Final
The showpiece event. The top finishers from both Sub-20 heats go head-to-head over three blistering laps of the loop. It’s short, sharp, and all-out, a test of pure speed under pressure.
With the crowd tight around the course and a cash prize on the line, this is where Formula Run reaches full throttle. Gun time only!
