| Current season | NACAM Formula 4 Championship |
The North and Central American (NACAM) Formula 4 Championship is a formula racing series run to FIA Formula 4 regulations. The inaugural season was held over 2015 and 2016.
History
Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched Formula 4 in March 2013.[1] The goal of the Formula 4 was to make the ladder to Formula 1 more transparent. Besides sporting and technical regulations, costs were 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. NACAM Formula 4 was the last series to start in 2015 and the eighth Formula 4 category overall.
Alexandra Mohnhaupt made history in 2018 as the first female driver to win a race to Formula 4 regulations, the Mexican driver winning the first and second races at the fourth round of the 2017–18 season.[2]
Car
Similarly to other Formula 4 championships, NACAM F4 uses the Tatuus F4-T421 chassis. They are powered by inline 4, 1.4 litre turbocharged engines provided by Abarth. Tyres are supplied by Pirelli.
