The 2015 Duo BRDC Formula 4 Autumn Trophy^[1] was a two-event motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars held across England, as an off-season trophy to the BRDC Formula 4 Championship. The trophy featured a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers, and also featured the debut of the new 2-litre 230-bhp Tatuus-Cosworth single seat race car that will be used from the 2016 BRDC Formula 4 Championship season onwards.^[2] The season was run at Snetterton 300 on November 7–8 and at Brands Hatch Indy on November 14–15, in two quadruple-header events.

The Autumn Trophy Champion will receive free entry for the entire 2016 main season, a prize with a monetary value of over £5,000. The runner-up in the championship will be rewarded with 50 per cent off their entry fees for next year, with the third placed overall driver receiving a discount of 25 per cent on their respective entry fees for the 2016 season. The total value of this prize package is worth more than £10,000.^[3]
