2019 North American Formula 4 Championship
Notable changes will be described in this font
Cars
Chassis (Crawford Composites) and Engines (Honda KA20C2) Will remain the same as last season. The Engine has received a few small improvements in the off-season, providing slightly more power compared to last season to make up for the increased race distance. Thank you to This Could be You for providing an F4 chassis for Grand Prix 2.
Drivers
Real life and fictional drivers are allowed. I would like at least some real-life drivers in the series, but I will
not be putting any restrictions on the use of fictional drivers. Real-life drivers will be chosen through an RNG to see if they accept an offer or not. For fictional drivers please put the DEC of the owner and any background in regards to previous series.
North and Central American drivers will take first priority, though drivers from the Caribbean and the rest of the Americas are welcome more often than not. Drivers from any other region must have a pretty good story reason to race in this, otherwise they will be rejected. This series is meant for drivers in the Americas to start their careers, so please be reasonable with driver choices.
As with Simtek's F4 series, any driver that races in more senior categories will likely NOT be accepted. F4 is designed to be a first taste of motorsport for drivers leaving karting. Drivers are likely to be between 15 and 20 years old, but I will take them case-by-case.
Teams
Current team owners will need to renew their commitment to 2019, then I will allow new entry lists
The series will have 26 drivers spread through 13 teams. If 26 drivers and teams cannot be reached then I will allow 3-car teams. Teams should be based in North America, Central America, or the Caribbean, and those nationalities will get first priority over teams from any other region of the world.
No constructors championship will be held for this series, only one for drivers.
Race Weekend
Race length will be extended to 30 miles each. Each weekend will still have 2 races per weekend
Points will follow the F4 standard set by the Anglo-Irish championship:
1st: 15
2nd: 12
3rd: 10
4th: 8
5th: 6
6th: 5
7th: 4
8th: 3
9th: 2
10th: 1
Pole Position: 2
Penalties
Drivers that perform infractions on track, mainly regarding reckless driving and causing collisions, will receive time penalties based on the severity of the infraction. Severe enough infractions, or repeated accumulation of infractions, will result in a suspended race ban or full race ban. Two suspended race bans add up to one full race ban.
Calendar
The calendar for the 2018 season will be largely following the Indycar calendar in order to reduce costs of transport. There are 8 weekends in the season.
