The British Formula 4 Championship , also known as MSA Formula (officially MSA Formula certified by FIA powered by Ford EcoBoost ) is an automobile racing series after the FIA - Formula 4 -Reglement in the UK . The British Formula 4 Championship was held for the first time in 2015 .
The British Formula 4 Championship is organized by the Motor Sports Association (MSA).
The British Formula 4 championship of the MSA is not to be confused with the BRDC Formula 4 championship of the BRDC , which is not certified by the FIA. Since the naming rights for the use of the term Formula 4 in the United Kingdom lie with the BRDC, the FIA-certified British Formula 4 Championship is marketed under the name MSA Formula and does not use the Formula 4 term in its own publications.
history
After the FIA decided to introduce Formula 4 regulations in 2013, the Motor Sports Association (MSA) decided to discontinue British Formula Ford in favor of an FIA Formula 4 championship. Since the MSA had no naming rights for the term Formula 4 , MSA Formula was chosen as the name . The British Formula 4 Championship was held for the first time in 2015 . Like the British Formula Ford, the British Formula 4 Championship is also part of the ToCA Tour event package , which includes the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
