Formula Maruti was a single-seater, open-wheel class in motorsport made and raced in India.

Top Indian drivers have started their career racing in Formula Maruti, most notably Narain Karthikeyan, Parthiva Sureshwaren, Karun Chandhok and other drivers who have had quite a successful outing in this form are Ajay Kini, Mohit Aryan, Goutham Parekh, Devang Shah, Narendhran, Sudarshan Rao, Kartik Shankar.

The car was a brainchild of S. Karivardhan who wanted an affordable single seater that can be highly economical to run/own, as well as being a stepping stone to several new drivers.

Young drivers in India often begin their competitive careers in Formula Maruti, or after a few years in Karting.

This series is a regular in the Indian motorsport scene ever since its launch in 1988.
