2020 F4 British Championship
The 2020 F4 British Championship certified by FIA – powered by Ford EcoBoost is a multi-event, Formula 4 open-wheel single seater motor racing championship held across United Kingdom. The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers, competing in Formula 4 cars that conform to the technical regulations for the championship. This, the sixth season, following on from the British Formula Ford Championship, will also be the sixth year that the cars conform to the FIA's Formula 4 regulations.[1] Part of the TOCA tour, it forms part of the extensive program of support categories built up around the BTCC centrepiece.
