F4 Brazilian Championship is a racing series regulated according to FIA Formula 4 regulations. Originally, the agreement was signed between CBA (Confederação Brasileira de Automobilismo) and F / Promo Racing, the company that already organized Formula Vee competitions in Brazil.[1] The latter was replaced by Vicar, the organizer of Stock Car Brasil, before the inaugural season in 2022.[2][3]

History
editGerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched Formula 4 in March 2013.[4] The goal of the Formula 4 was to make the ladder to Formula 1 more transparent. Besides sporting and technical regulations, costs are also regulated. A car to compete in this category may not exceed €30,000 and a single season in Formula 4 may not exceed €100,000.
Car
editItalian race car constructor Tatuus F4-T014 was planned to be chosen as the official series car.[5] Due to delay of the inauguration, the series used newer Tatuus F4-T421 models.[2]
