2019 F4 British Championship
Multi-event motor racing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2019 F4 British Championship was a multi-event, Formula 4 open-wheel single seater motor racing championship held across United Kingdom. The championship featured a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers, competing in Formula 4 cars that conform to the technical regulations for the championship. This, the fifth season, following on from the British Formula Ford Championship, was the fifth 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 BTCC centrepiece.
The season commenced on 6 April at Brands Hatch – on the circuit's Indy configuration – and concluded on 13 October at the same venue, utilising the Grand Prix circuit, after thirty races held at ten meetings, all in support of the 2019 British Touring Car Championship.[2]
The rookie cup continued with the top prize being free entry into the 2020 season.[3]
Zane Maloney won both the overall and rookie championship, coming out victorious ten times out of 30 races. His closest title challenger Sebastián Álvarez won five races, one win fewer than third-placed Louis Foster. Carter Williams triumphed thrice, Josh Skelton and Luke Browning won twice respectively, and Bart Horsten and Tommy Foster got one victory each.
