2022 GB4 Championship
The 2022 GB4 Championship partnered by the BRDC[1] is the first season of a new motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars in Britain. The 2022 season is the first for the championship, which has been organised by MotorSport Vision. The season is scheduled to be run over eight triple-header rounds and will start on 2 April at Snetterton Circuit.[2]
GB4 will act as a direct feeder series to higher open-wheel categories, including the existing GB3 Championship partnered by the BRDC. GB4 will run primarily on the same British GT race programme as GB3, and retain many of the same championship partners.[3] Teams will use the Tatuus F4-T014 chassis in the 2022 championship.[4]
GB4 will offer its inaugural champion a £50,000 prize towards their next season of single-seater racing as part of the overall prize package.[5] Other prizes include the George Russell Pole Position Cup with a prize fund of £4,000[6] and a £20,000 shoot out prize for teenage drivers in the BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship.[7]
All 24 races in the debut season will be shown live online.[8]
