TheF4 British Championship, officially known as theWera Tools F4 British Championship certified by FIA for sponsorship reasons and formerly known asMSA Formula in2015, is asingle-seater motorsport series based in theUnited Kingdom. The series is run toFIA Formula 4 regulations and is administered byMotorsport UK. The championship is designed as a low-cost entrance to car racing, and is aimed at young racing drivers moving up fromkarting.
The championship replaces theBritish Formula Ford Championship, and used a chassis produced byMygale and engines fromFord for seven seasons from2015 to2021. With Motorsport UK taking over the organization of the championship from 2022 to 2024, as Ford concluded their involvement, the championship switched to aTatuus chassis andAbarth engines.[1][2]
The series is part of theTOCA tour, a series of events run alongside theBritish Touring Car Championship.
Each championship event consists of three races. The series is run in support of the BTCC.
Fifteen-year-olds are eligible to compete in the series, after the MSA lowered the age limit for single-seater championships.[3] The winner of the championship will be named the FIA Formula 4 champion, and will be rewarded a test with a top-level regionalFormula Three team.[4]
Mygale M14-F4 provided a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis. The engine was aFord 1.6LEcoBoost engine as used in the more modernFormula Ford cars, tuned to a maximum of 160 PS. All engines were prepared and tuned by Neil Brown Engineering, to lower costs and ensure engine equalisation.[4]Hankook was the sole tyre supplier, with the cars running on the same compound and construction rubber as used in Formula Three.Sadev provided the sequential paddle shift transmission. The engine control unit was an F88GDI4 fromLife Racing which featured integrated paddle shift control, GPS track mapping and also functions as the complete data acquisition system.
The total price of purchasing the car is capped at £36,000.[4]
Starting from the 2022 season, teams have started using the combination ofTatuus F4-T421 chassis and the engines supplied byAbarth.[5]
