F4 FRENCH
CHAMPIONSHIP
The FFSA and Renault work together to provide drivers a new Championship: the winner of the season will be integrated into the Renault Sport Academy in order to one day access the Formula 1 Championship. Meanwhile, the drivers will compete with a new generation of Formula 4.
A 100% FRENCH CAR
The French F4 Championship will be run on brand new 100% French cars that meet the latest safety and performance standards in line with the FIA F4 specifications.
Among the many advantages of this FIA F4, the drivers of the French F4 Championship will be able to score points towards the super license for F1. The FFSA Academy has chosen to trust the French manufacturer Mygale, one of the market’s world leaders for nearly 30 years.
“The French F4 Championship is a key element of our high-level circuit policy. Organised through our federal training centre based in Le Mans, this championship benefits from the loyal support of Renault and has seen the evolution of many famous drivers today racing internationally. Unique of its kind, combining financial accessibility and sporting equality, our French F4 Championship continues its momentum with the FIA F4.”
Nicolas Deschaux,
President of the French Federation of Motor Sport
