Superlicense Points

Superlicense Points are a qualification system used by the FIA to determine which drivers are eligible to compete in Formula 1 racing, motorsport's highest level of competition.

Drivers earn these points by achieving strong results in recognized junior racing championships over a three-year period. To qualify for a Formula 1 Superlicense, drivers typically need to accumulate 40 points, with different championships awarding varying point values based on their competitiveness and prestige.

For example, winning the Formula 2 championship awards the full 40 points needed, while success in series like Formula 3 or IndyCar also contributes significantly to a driver's total. This system ensures that only drivers with proven track records can reach Formula 1.
