History

Gerhard Berger and the FIA Single Seater Commission launched the FIA Formula 4 in March 2013.[1] The goal of 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 a price of €30,000. A single season in Formula 4 may not exceed €100,000 in costs. ADAC F4 will be the one of the second phase Formula 4 championships to be launched. The first phase championships were the Italian F4 Championship and Formula 4 Sudamericana which started in 2014. The ADAC championship was launched by the ADAC on 16 July 2014.[2] Italian race car constructor Tatuus was contracted to design and build all the cars.
