Current season

Formula 4 CEZ Championship is a formula racing series regulated according to FIA Formula 4 regulations. The championship is organized and promoted by the Automobile Club of the Czech Republic (ACCR; Czech: Autoklub České republiky (AČR)) and Krenek Motorsport. The championship was started in 2022 as a trophy, and gained championship status in 2023.[1][2]

History

The championship was planned to be inaugurated in 2022, however it was held as a trophy due to the massive delivery delays of cars.[3][4] For 2023, the championship was firstly named as ACCR Czech Formula, then it was named as Formula 4 CEZ Championship after the FIA certification.[1][2]

Cars

Italian race car constructor Tatuus is contracted to design and build all the cars.[5] The chassis is a monocoque made of carbon fibre. In the 2022 season, older generation Tatuus F4-T014 could participate in the championship due to the delays of newer generation Tatuus F4-T421 cars; however older generation cars wer nor allowed to participate in the 2023 season due to the FIA certification process.[6]
