Current season |
The Formula 4 United States Championship is an
spec series
, with all competitors using the same chassis and engine.
The championship is designed to support North American drivers entering international
karting.[2]
Championship format
Each event of the championship consists of three races, which are run on the support package of other motorsport events in the United States and starting in 2017, Canada. The inaugural season consisted of five events, and expanded to additional rounds in the following seasons.[2] Initially only run at race tracks on the East Coast of the United States, the championship will expand to separate East and West Coast series in the future with Canadian rounds in association with United States-based series.[2]
The chassis is provided by
Hankook since 2019, and are similarly price capped. The total cost for a driver to compete in a full season of the 2016 championship is estimated at $115,000.[1][3]
