Current season

French F4 Championship,[2] formerly known as Formula Renault Campus France, Formula Campus, Formul'Academy Euro Series, F4 Eurocup 1.6 is a form of open wheel racing founded in 1993 by Louis Drouet. It is based in France and aims at karting graduates. The series currently organized by the Fédération Française du Sport Automobile (FFSA). Formerly, the champion receives support to continue in one of the Formula Renault 2.0 championships.[2] In 2010, the re-branded series was made part of the World Series by Renault, but was then dropped for 2011.[3] Since 2018, the series runs under FIA moniker.[4]

The car

[edit]

The car was originally built by Signatech. The chassis and survival cell had a carbon fibre composite monocoque construction. The car was designed to comply with the 2008 FIA F3 standards. The 1600cc Renault K4MRS engine produced about 140 bhp. The transmission had five forward speeds with sequential shift mechanism.

The championship adopted FIA Formula 4 regulations in 2018, with Mygale M14-F4 chassis and naturally-aspirated 160 bhp Renault 2.0L engines.[5] In 2020, the engine was changed to the new turbo charged Renault Sport 1.3-liter one.[6] Since the 2022 season, the new Mygale M21-F4 chassis has been used.
