F2

F2, Formula 2 or Formula Two is a single-seater Amatuer (AM) series put in place as a feeder series to F1, for unexperienced and rookie drivers to prove themselves worthy of operating Formula 1 machinery. Most teams are essentially driver academies, such as Soviet Star F2, junior team for Russian Power F1, Toyota Zekko Racing, Audi, ERT (Ferrari's jr team), Shocks Racing (Airbone Motorsports) and a long etc.

The cars
The cars are essentially scaled down F1 cars, although they lack features such as ERS and DRS, they still are reasonably quick in terms of lap times. They resemble the Dallara F2 car, although never officially stated as such. They also have the now mandated halo protection device, situated in the cockpit of the car and shaped like a flip-flop restraint, designed to protect the head from debris injuring the driver, the halo is seen in every modern single-seater race car.

The Races
Modern Formula 2 races are formatted similarly to Formula 1, with a practice session to start the race weekend, but diffirent because it has two races in one race weekend, with the latter being a reverse grid race, with the top 10 finishers starting in the reverse grid order.

The Tracks
All F2 circuits are shared with the F1 ones, meaning they are ION Grade 1, which is the equivalent to Grade 1 FIA.

The Equipment
All race series in ION Racing use the standard SHOEI Race Helmets Model SPH20, being specially developed for use both in single-seaters and Grand Touring cars, these helmets aren't customizable like in F1.

Modern kevlar reinforced nomex suits are also mandated to use by the drivers and team staff, being supplied by companies such as Puma, Alpinestars and Adidas. All teams are supplied 10 Race suits and 10 helmets per driver for each season should a helmet or suit be damaged, these suits are optional.
