ARA F4 Championship
Saturday night F4 action is back! Beginning on the 3rd of February, the ARA F4 Championship is set to crown 3 new driver division champions at the conclusion of 10 rounds of racing!
Our elimination heat format, featuring 2x heats, a B final and an A final, makes a popular return, tasking drivers to advance through to the all important A final by finishing high enough in either their heat or B final. This format allows us to limit our grids to just 35 cars even when 60 drivers are registered, ensuring driving standards remain high
Every driver receives a free 1 month subscription to Apex Racing Academy just for registering to the series granting access to datapacks designed by 2 time British F4 Esports champion Luke McKeown. Competitors can ask Luke questions in the ARA discord, compare his telemetry to theirs and use his track-specific setups for each round.
The series follows iRacing’s F4 official series schedule, visiting slip-stream-fests like Silverstone, Bathurst and Spa along with the more complex circuits of Jerez, Okayama and Nurburgring. The final 4 rounds of the season are yet to be decided but will follow the first 4 weeks of the 2024 season 2 F4 official series. Whatever circuit we visit, we will likely witness similar racing to what we got on the final lap in heat 1 back at Montreal in season 2 of the season (check out the clip)
Returning to Saturday nights means we should have one of our most geographically diverse fields of the season with those in the Americas and Australia better able to take part. As with all ARL series, anyone with an iRacing D road license is encouraged to register. Every round is broadcast on Apex Racing TV, featuring their 3D track maps, F1-style overlay, custom camera packs and professional commentators.
£650 worth of Apex Racing Academy subscriptions are up for grabs across the pro, pro am and am driver divisions, as well as the teams championship, with each driver champion also receiving a trophy!
