TheF4 Middle East Championship is anFIA-certifiedFormula 4 racing series, started in 2025. Previously known asFormula 4 UAE Championship, the series was renamedF4 Middle East Championship by its promoters (Top Speed China) as it expanded the calendar by adding races outside the United Arab Emirates.[1]
Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched Formula 4 in March 2013.[2] The goal of the Formula 4 was to make the ladder toFormula 1 more transparent. Besides sporting and technical regulations, costs are also regulated. A car to compete in this category may not exceed €30,000 and a single season in Formula 4 may not exceed €100,000.
The first season of theFormula 4 UAE Championship was held between2016 and 2017, and continued every year until its last season in2024.[1] Formula 4 UAE's trophy round was expanded into a separate entity asFormula Trophy UAE, with the2024 Formula Trophy UAE occurring in November and December.[3] Meanwhile, the main series was expanded and renamed to F4 Middle East, due to rounds taking place outside of just the UAE.[1]
For the inaugural2025 season, there were five rounds that took place at three different circuits:Yas Marina Circuit, theDubai Autodrome, and theLusail International Circuit. All rounds were hosted in support of the2025 Formula Regional Middle East Championship.[4]Emanuele Olivieri won the drivers' championship, whileR-ace GP won the teams' championship.[5]
The race weekends consist of two qualifying sessions, which will determine the grids for races one and three. The grid for race two is set by reversing the top 10 from race one's results.[4]
The car used in this series is theTatuus F4-T421 powered by anAbarth engine.[6]
