F4 Brazilian Championship
F4 Brazilian Championship is a racing series regulated according to FIA Formula 4. The category, ladder for F1, will be approved by the FIA (International Automobile Federation) and will follow the international regulation, earning points to obtain the super license points. Originally, the agreement was signed between CBA (Confederação Brasileira de Automobilismo) and F / Promo Racing, the company that already organizes Formula Vee competitions in Brazil.[1] The latter was replaced by Vicar, the organizator of Stock Car Brasil, before the inaugural season in 2022.[2][3]

History
Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched Formula 4 in March 2013.[4] 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.
Car
Italian race car constructor Tatuus' F4-T014 was chosen as the official series car.[5] Due to delay of the inauguration, the series will use newer F4-T021 model.[2]
