The 2023 F4 Brazilian Championship was the second season of the F4 Brazilian Championship. It was a multi-event motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars regulated according to FIA Formula 4 regulations. The championship used Tatuus F4-T421 chassis.[1]
Teams and drivers
All pre-selected teams were Brazilian-registered. Unlike the previous year, there was no draw allocating the drivers to the teams.
Full Time Sports' Formula 4 operation were moved under its subsidiary Bassani Racing.[2] KTF Sports was not replaced.
Race calendar
The schedule was revealed on 1 February 2023. All rounds were held in Brazil and all but one supported the 2023 Stock Car Pro Series events. One round supported the 2023 São Paulo Grand Prix.[13] In April 2023, the round at Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet in Brasília on 16–18 June was replaced by the round at Interlagos Circuit three weeks later.[14] Likewise in September 2023, the round at Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet on 24–26 November was replaced by the round at Interlagos Circuit three weeks later.[15]
Championship standings
Points were awarded to the top ten classified finishers in 25-minute races and for the top eight classified finishers in 18-minute races. The final individual classifications were obtained by dropping two worst results from the first five rounds of the championship.
