The North and Central American (NACAM) Formula 4 Championship is a formula racing series run to FIA Formula 4 regulations. The inaugural season was held over 2015 and 2016.
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 were 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. NACAM Formula 4 was the last series to start in 2015 and the eighth Formula 4 category overall.
Alexandra Mohnhaupt made history in 2018 as the first female driver to win a race to Formula 4 regulations, the Mexican driver winning the first and second races at the fourth round of the 2017–18 season. [2]
The NACAM Formula 4 car is similar to the cars used in Australia and the United Kingdom utilising Mygale monocoque and carbon fibre frames running Ford 1.6L EcoBoost engines.
In 2023, the series announced its intentions to introduce Tatuus' F4-T421 chassis, starting in 2024. [3] Variants of this chassis are also used in numerous international series like Spanish F4 and F1 Academy.
In late 2023, the series announced it would be moving away from Ford power and introducing 1.4L turbocharged Fiat engines for the 2024 season.
