No championship price is quoted here. As of November 1, 2026, we have no market for the title that we can source and date to the standings above.
When the board goes up, read each price as a chance: +325 implies 23.5%, +500 implies 16.7% and +1600 implies 5.9%. A futures bet is worth making only when you rate a driver’s chance higher than the price does. With one race left, Allgaier’s lead is 22 points and the 12th driver, Rajah Caruth, is 231 back.
