The F4 Championship Story

​

In 2013, the The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) saw the need for an entry into open-wheel racing.  Thus creating the new category, Formula 4.  Since that announcement, officially sanctioned F4 Championships have appeared throughout the world, including the F4 United States Championship certified by FIA.

​

SCCA Pro Racing contracted with the FIA to sanction the F4 Championship in the United States, and earlier this year, the SCCA solicited proposals for engine, tire, and chassis partners. The SCCA’s goal was to create a competitive, exciting, and affordable series for participants.

​

After a thorough review, the chosen partners are: Honda (engines), Pirelli (tires), and Onroak Automotive/Crawford Composites (chassis). The  F4 United States Championship commenced in 2016.

​

Each partner has committed to the F4 concept, the production and supply of homologated equipment, field support, competitive pricing, and marketing and media support.
