A single season in Formula 4 may not exceed € 100.000 in costs. The Spanish F4 will be the one of the second phase Formula 4 championship to be launched. The first phase championships was the Italian F4 Championship and the Formula 4 Sudamericana which started in 2014. The Spanish championship was launched by the RFEDA on 14 November 2014.[2] French race car constructor Mygale was contracted to design and build all the cars.[2]
