The Indian Racing Festival (IRF) 2026 season will conclude with a night race in Navi Mumbai on December 5-6. The finale will be held at the new 3.69-km Navi Mumbai Street Circuit near Palm Beach Road.
The street circuit will bring the Indian Racing Festival to Navi Mumbai for the first time, giving motorsport fans an urban racing experience under floodlights.
Buddh International Circuit to Host Two Rounds
Before the season finale, the Indian Racing Festival will make its debut at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) in Greater Noida.
Two rounds are scheduled at the circuit:
- October 31-November 1
- November 28-29
The return to Buddh International Circuit is significant as the venue has not hosted top-level international racing since its Formula 1 era.
Navi Mumbai Night Race
The Navi Mumbai finale is scheduled to take place at night, making it one of the major attractions of the 2026 IRF calendar.
The event will feature the Indian Racing League and F4 Indian Championship, with drivers competing for the final championship positions of the season.
The Navi Mumbai street circuit is expected to provide a different challenge compared with permanent racing tracks, with the city setting adding another dimension to the event.
With two rounds at Buddh International Circuit followed by the Navi Mumbai finale, the final phase of the 2026 Indian Racing Festival is set to bring several high-profile motorsport events to fans across India.
