If you love fast cars and want to know what’s happening on the Israeli racing scene, you’re in the right place. From street circuits in Tel Aviv to rally stages in the desert, Israel has a mix of events that keep fans on edge. Below you’ll find a quick look at the main series, the tracks you can visit, and the drivers who are making a name for themselves.
The most popular series is the Israel Touring Car Championship (ITCC). It runs on a handful of circuits each year, with cars that look like the ones you see on the road but are tuned for speed. Races are usually held at the Autodromo Tel Aviv and the Kiryat Shmona Circuit, both of which offer tight corners and long straights that test driver skill.
Another big draw is the Israeli Rally Championship. This series takes drivers through the Negev desert, the hills of Galilee, and the coastal roads near Haifa. The varied terrain makes for exciting stages where car control is everything. If you enjoy watching rally cars jump over dunes or skid through mud, this is the series to follow.
For fans of open‑wheel racing, the Israel Formula 4 Cup gives young talent a chance to race on a European‑style grid. Races are held on temporary street tracks in Jerusalem and on the permanent circuit in Ramat Gan. The cup is a stepping stone for drivers aiming to reach Formula 3 or even Formula 1.
One name you’ll hear a lot is Yair Eli. He’s a former ITCC champion who now competes in the European GT series, bringing his experience back to local fans during off‑season events. Another rising star is Maya Tal, a 19‑year‑old rally driver who stunned the crowd by winning a stage in the Negev Rally last month. Her aggressive driving style and calm under pressure have made her a fan favorite.
Don’t overlook the younger drivers in the Formula 4 Cup. Amir Cohen, who just turned 18, has already posted three podium finishes and is being talked about by several European junior teams. Watching these drivers develop gives a glimpse of the future of Israeli motorsports.
