## Race calendar and results

An updated race calendar was released on 1 June 2016, which cancelled the round at Kuala Lumpur City Grand Prix. An updated race calendar was released on 28 June 2016, which cancelled the round at Penbay International Circuit.
After the previously scheduled second round in support of the Sepang 1000 km was cancelled, a new revised calendar was released by Formula 4 SEA through their Facebook website, which expanded the calendar to 36 races to be held until January 2017 and added rounds in both the Philippines and Indonesia.
The Clark International Speedway round initially consisted of six-races. However, due to Typhoon Sarika, the final race was abandoned. For the Chang International Circuit, an additional race was run as a compromise.
