British F4 is designed to give young drivers their first experience of single-seater racing and a clear route towards the higher levels of motorsport.

With a capacity 30-car grid and eight teams competing in 2026, British F4 brings together some of the most promising young drivers in international motorsport.

Open to drivers aged 15 and over, British F4 offers a competitive environment to develop racecraft, gain experience and take the next step up the single-seater ladder.
British F4 was introduced in 2015 as MSA Formula, replacing the Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain and becoming the UK's official FIA Formula 4 championship. Designed as the first step on the single-seater ladder, it gave young drivers a clear route from karting towards professional racing.
The championship's inaugural title was won by a 15-year-old Lando Norris, setting the tone for a series that has helped develop some of motorsport's brightest young talents. Oscar Piastri, Zane Maloney, Luke Browning, Alex Dunne and Louis Sharp are among the drivers who have progressed through British F4 on their way up the single-seater ranks.
