After the success of 2010 season, in which competed international drivers and teams, a new European series has been created with a prize offered in collaboration with Ferrari Driver Academy.

Following a restructure of the FIA single-seater ladder, Formula Abarth was renamed the Italian Formula 4 Championship, retaining the Abarth engines.
