2022 F4 British Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2022 F4 British Championship will be a multi-event, Formula 4 open-wheel single seater motor racing championship held across United Kingdom. The championship will feature a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers, competing in Formula 4 cars that conform to the technical regulations for the championship. This, the eighth season, following on from the British Formula Ford Championship, is the eighth year that the cars conform to the FIA's Formula 4 regulations.[1] Part of the TOCA tour, it forms part of the extensive program of support categories built up around the BTCC centrepiece.

The season will commence on 23 April at Donington Park and will conclude on 9 October at Brands Hatch, utilising the Grand Prix circuit, after thirty races to be held at ten meetings, all in the support of the 2022 British Touring Car Championship.

This will be the first season of the championship using the combination of Tatuus chassis and the engines supplied by Abarth.[2]
