History

Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched the FIA Formula 4 in March 2013.[1] The goal of the Formula 4 is to make the ladder to Formula 1 more transparent. Besides sporting and technical regulations, costs are regulated too. A car to compete in this category may not exceed € 30.000 in purchase. 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]

Car

The championship features Mygale designed and built cars. The cars will be constructed out of carbon fibre and feature a monocoque chassis. The engine is a 1.6 turbo Ford. This is the same engine used in the British Formula Ford Championship between 2012 and 2014.
