The 2025 F1600 Championship Series season was the fourteenth season of the F1600 Championship Series.

The prior year's winner was Mateo Naranjo from Team Pelfrey.

The 2025 F1600 Championship had the tightest title race to date as Ayrton Cahan narrowly surpassed his brother and teammate, Gabriel Cahan, and Wesley Gundler by only 2 points.[1]

David Adorno dominated the F1600 Masters class to claim the season title; his fifth-place finish in the general standings marked the highest rank for a Masters competitor in over ten years.[1][2]

Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top twenty-five classified drivers, and the top drivers who are able to achieve the Pole Position or the Fastest Lap during the qualify session are awarded with corresponding +3 and +2 bonus points.

The Season Championship will recognize only each driver's best 18 of 21 race results including all bonus points earned.[19]

Points are awarded using the following system:

Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   11th   12th   13th   14th   15th   16th   17th   18th   19th   20th   21st   22nd   23rd   24th   25th+   DNF 
Points 50 42 37 34 31 29 27 25 23 21 19 17 15 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1

Guest drivers are ineligible to score points.

If a guest driver finishes in first position, the second-placed finisher will receive 50 points. The same goes for every other points scoring position. Thus, if three guest drivers place fourth, fifth and sixth, the seventh-placed finisher will receive 34 points and so forth – until the twenty-eighth-placed finisher receives the final point.
