History

In September 2016, the Dansk Automobil Sports Union (DASU) announced that it would introduce the FIA Formula 4 category in Denmark. This was followed on 6 November 2016 by the official launch of the F4 Danish Championship. Danish F4 cars were to use the French Mygale chassis and the 2.0-litre Renault engine. [1] The series will comprise seven rounds, supporting the Danish Thundersport Championship, Danish Endurance Championship and Danish Supertourisme Turbo at their events. [2]

F4 cars will share the track with the F5 cars (previously called Formula Ford), but will receive separate classifications. From 2019 F5 cars are classified with-in the F4 results, as well as a separate cup.

In late 2023, the championship announced a new name for 2024. [3]

Car

The championship features Mygale designed and built cars constructed of carbon fibre and featuring a monocoque chassis. Power is provided by a 2.0-litre Renault engine. [1]
