Euro 4 Championship, known since 2025 as the E4 Championship, is a formula racing series regulated according to FIA Formula 4 regulations. The championship was inaugurated in 2023 and was designed to provide more racing opportunities for teams and drivers in Italian F4 Championship after the folding of ADAC Formula 4.
History
The series is run by ACI and promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotions, the latter is well known for running prominent karting championships including the WSK Euro Series. The series was confirmed when the calendar for the inaugural season was announced in April 2023, with three rounds supporting the Formula Regional European Championship.
The series faced minor challenges in its first year, after results for the second race in Monza were frozen for a month due to confusion over one marshal post showing a safety car board when no safety car had officially been called. Nonetheless, the series showed close racing and a title fight with only a two-point gap going into the final race, where Ugo Ugochukwu was declared the inaugural champion.
The 2024 season saw Akshay Bohra, who won two races in the opening round, take victory after title rival Freddie Slater was affected by post-race penalties and damage in the final weekend.
Euro 4 was renamed to E4 prior to the 2025 season.
Cars
The series uses the Tatuus F4-T421, the same car as Italian F4. It is built by Italian race car constructor Tatuus. The engine is a 1.4L turbocharged Abarth engine, and the tyres are provided by Pirelli.
