The BRDC Formula 4 Championship was created by MSV Chief Executive Jonathan Palmer in 2013 to provide a much needed modern low cost series for those starting single-seater racing and aiming for the highest rungs of the motorsport ladder.
The British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) partnered series promoter MSV to develop and support the championship and continues to do so to this day.
