British F4 - F4 British Championship

The F4 British Championship is a premier single-seater motorsport series in the United Kingdom, certified by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile). It serves as a critical step for young drivers, typically aged 15 and over, transitioning from karting to car racing. The championship is a key part of the TOCA tour, supporting the highly popular British Touring Car Championship, which ensures significant exposure and large crowds. All competitors utilize identical Tatuus chassis and Abarth engines, creating a level playing field where driver skill is paramount. This format has proven to be a successful breeding ground for future motorsport stars, with notable alumni including current Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. The series races on some of the UK's most iconic circuits, providing a challenging and diverse calendar for emerging talent. The champion is awarded 12 FIA SuperLicence points, which are crucial for drivers aiming to progress to the highest levels of international motorsport, including Formula 1. The championship is organized and promoted by Motorsport UK, the governing body for four-wheel motorsport in the UK.
