The F18 European Tour is a new continental circuit created to structure and strengthen the Formula 18 racing season across Europe.
Launched in 2026 under the supervision of the International F18 Class Association, the Tour brings together four major regattas hosted in four different European countries. Each event remains organized by its local organizing authority, while the overall circuit is coordinated by the European Tour Organizing Authority (AOET).
The objective is clear: build a calendar based on fewer but stronger events, better coordinated and spaced throughout the season in order to maximise participation and sporting visibility.
Teams compete across the four Acts of the Tour, with the three best results counting toward the final ranking. Points are awarded at each event according to the official results, combining a performance score and a participation bonus. At the end of the season, the team with the highest total is crowned F18 European Tour Champion.
When the F18 World Championship takes place in Europe, it automatically becomes one of the Tour’s Acts. When it is hosted outside Europe, the European Championship becomes the central event of the circuit, gathering the strongest teams of the season.
The ambition of the class is for the European Tour to become a long-term annual fixture, providing a clear backbone to the European calendar and bringing together the entire F18 community around a structured and attractive circuit.
