The 1998 FF1M Season was the 11th season of FF1M. It commenced on 30th July 2009 and is currently ongoing.
The season contained seventeen races in fifteen countries including the series first night race at the Marina Bay circuit in Singapore and the series first racing visit to the Laguna Seca circuit. This was notable as it marked a distinct change in the series organisers policy to follow the Formula One calender from the season year as much as possible.
The 1998 Season was also notable as the first season to run on a structured timetable with qualifying taking place on a Tuesday aor Saturday and Races taking place on Wednesday's and Sunday's. This season the series was once again supported on weekend races by its feeder series FF1M-3000.
