The Formula 4 South East Asia Championship is a formula racing series run to FIA Formula 4 regulations. The inaugural season was held over 2016 and 2017. The COVID-19 Pandemic put a momentary stop to the championship in 2020, but in 2023, the championship was revived under a new promoter.

History

Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched Formula 4 in March 2013. [1] 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. South East Asian Formula 4 was the third series to start in 2016 and the eleventh Formula 4 category overall.

The championship was cancelled for the 2024 season. It is set to return in 2025. [2]

Car

The South East Asian Formula 4 car used the Mygale M14-F4 car found in the Australian and the British championships and running Renault 1.6L engines similar to those used in the Danish and French series. All cars were prepared by Malaysian team Meritus GP.

In 2023, the series switched to the Tatuus F4-T421 car, the Abarth engine and the Giti tires.
