2024 Formula 4 Australian Championship

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 Formula 4 Australian Championship is the sixth season of the Formula 4 Australian Championship and the first one since 2019. Top Speed was appointed as the new organizer and promoter as the series switched to the Tatuus F4-T421 car and the Abarth engine.[1]

The category gives drivers a way to compete and contest in an FIA-certified open wheel category in Australia, with four rounds in the country and a season finale at Sepang International Circuit, a Category 1 former Formula 1 track. This also allows racers the chance to earn FIA super license points and have an even easier way to transition to competition overseas in a most cost-effective manner, with the same Tatuus F4 T421 GEN2 used internationally.

For the first time, the top five drivers after the third round of the Top Speed-run 2024 Formula 4 Australian Championship will be invited to attend Sepang for the five-day Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy Asia Pacific and Oceania Selection Program event, provided they meet the selection criteria.
