history
After the FIA decided to introduce Formula 4 regulations in 2013, the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) decided to introduce an Australian Formula 4 championship for 2015 . The Formula 4 championship replaced the national Formula Ford championship. All races in the Australian Formula 4 Championship are held at racing events for the V8 Supercars . From the first season onwards, the main sponsorship was taken over by the motorhome company Jayco .
During the 2019 season, the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport announced that there would be no further season in the following year. The reason given was the low number of participants in the series.
Course of the race weekend
The race weekend comprised two free practice sessions, a qualifying and three races.
