F4 Argentina Championship was a racing series regulated according to FIA Formula 4.
History
Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched Formula 4 in March 2013. 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.
The 2019 F4 Argentina Championship season was originally slated to begin at Buenos Aires in July and conclude at the same circuit on December 1. The start of the season was postponed to October 18-19, then delayed again before being completely cancelled. The new Argentinian Formula 4 Championship has had its first season delayed once again, with a start date planned for 2020, however the season was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic. The series started in 2021.
Format
Each round consisted of two practice sessions, one qualifying session that determines the grid for Race 1. The grid for Race 2 was set by the fastest lap in the first race.
Car
The championship featured cars that were designed and built by French race car constructor Mygale. The cars were made up of carbon fiber and had monocoque chassis. The engine was made up of 2.0 Geely G-Power JLD-4G20.
