Formula 4 does not need a long introduction, as the internationally recognised and FIA-sanctioned entry into single seater racing. Unfortunately, as we're sure you will be aware if you are reading this, the price for seats in national championships has steadily risen in most countries; with up to £300,000 now being quoted for competitive drives. It is our opinion that this is way too much for a junior formula class, particularly one that positions itself as the first rung of the single seater ladder.
