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 are 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
The NACAM Formula 4 car is similar to the cars used in Australia and the United Kingdom utilising Mygale monocoque and carbon fibre frames running Ford 1.6L EcoBoost engines.
