2017 F4 British Championship Calendar Announced

The provisional calendar for the 2017 F4 British Championship certified by FIA – powered by Ford has been announced. Next season’s installment of the UK’s leading junior single-seater series will once again see Ford’s EcoBoost-powered stars do battle at the UK’s finest race circuits.

Brands Hatch (Indy) on 1^st/2^nd April will be the curtain raiser, whilst Croft denotes the half-way point of the campaign in June before the traditional summer break. The season then bursts back into life at Snetterton at the end of July; ahead of what is sure to be yet another climactic title run-in, reaching fever-pitch at Brands Hatch (GP) on September 30^th/October 1^st.

The F4 British Championship certified by FIA – powered by Ford will be contested over 30 races in 2017 as the sole single-seater support series to the UK’s premier motorsport package, the live televised British Touring Car Championship.

2017 represents the 50^th year of Ford’s ongoing commitment to developing young drivers. It will see motorsport’s brightest young talents compete for the prestigious title of British F4 Champion and a host of coveted Superlicence points to enable their progression up the FIA motorsport ladder.

The 2016 season of the F4 British Championship has captured the imagination and showcased single-seater racing at its very best. Petru Florescu currently sits at the top of the standings with a 22 point lead from an array of championship challengers including Carlin team-mates Max Fewtrell, James Pull and Devlin DeFrancesco, as well as JHR’s Sennan Fielding and TRS Arden’s Luis Leeds. The wheel-to-wheel action continues at Croft this weekend where British F4 is sure to entertain once more.
