2015 MSA Formula Championship

The 2015 MSA Formula Championship was a multi-event, Formula 4 open-wheel single seater motor racing championship held across England and Scotland. The championship featured a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers, competing in Formula 4 cars that conformed to the technical regulations for the championship. This, the inaugural season, following on from the British Formula Ford Championship, was the first year that the cars conformed to the FIA's Formula 4 regulations.^[1] Part of the TOCA tour, it formed part of the extensive program of support categories built up around the British Touring Car Championship centrepiece.^[2]

The season commenced on 5 April at Brands Hatch – on the circuit's Indy configuration – and concluded on 11 October at the same venue, utilising the Grand Prix circuit, after thirty races held at ten meetings, all in support of the 2015 British Touring Car Championship.

Lando Norris won the championship with eight victories, 42 points ahead of Ricky Collard, who won six races. Third-placed Colton Herta came out victorious four times, Sennan Fielding and second-highest placed rookie Dan Ticktum won three races each, Matheus Leist and Sandy Mitchell won twice respectively, and Josh Smith and top rookie Enaam Ahmed both triumphed just once.
