This is the second season of the championship restarted in 2022 without support of the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] and simply called MRF Formula 2000, with the field consisting of domestic drivers rather than foreign racers competing over the European and Northern American off-season.<ref>{{Cite web |last=FMSCI India |date=7 October 2022 |title=MRF MMSC #FMSCI Indian National Car Racing Championship 2022 - Round 1 |url=https://www.facebook.com/thefmsci/posts/pfbid02hhGzYK2N56Daf6bquMWtvgfr3aN7MRqR17DTWPaPSMRByQa9REwnhkgELCxp4ajBl |access-date=8 October 2022 |website=[[Facebook]]}}</ref>
