F4 Indian Championship is a single-seater motorsport series based in India. The series is run to the FIA'sFormula 4 regulations and organized by Racing Promotions Pvt Ltd. The inaugural season was held in 2023.
Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched Formula 4 in March 2013.[2] 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.
The weekend's format is set to have three races per weekend with one single qualifying session. The fastest lap will award pole position for Race 1, while Race 3's grid will be set according to the 2nd fastest lap of every driver at the qualifying session. Race 2's grid will be a reverse grid from Race 1's results.[5]
Initially, the championship was set to feature Tatuus F4-T421 chassis, Abarth as the engine supplier and Prema Powerteam responsible for the technical side of things to ensure parity among all competitors.[4] After failing to run in 2022, the championship switched for the 2023 season to Mygale M21-F4 chassis, Alpine as the engine supplier and MP Motorsport for the technical support.[6]
Broadcasting
As with Formula Regional India, Indian F4's organizers are having discussions with international TV channels to broadcast the championship in several countries. For the other countries, the championship will be available on YouTube.[5]
