The F4 Spanish Championship (Spanish: Campeonato de España de Fórmula 4) is a planned FIA Formula 4 racing series. The championship was planned to launch in 2015, though the inaugural season was cancelled and delayed until 2016. On 30 September 2015 was confirmed that Koiranen GP will be a promoter of the championship.
Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched the FIA Formula 4 in March 2013. The goal of the Formula 4 is to make the ladder to Formula 1 more transparent. Besides sporting and technical regulations, costs are regulated too. A car to compete in this category may not exceed €30.000 in purchase. A single season in Formula 4 may not exceed €100.000 in costs. The Spanish F4 will be the one of the second phase Formula 4 championship to be launched. The first phase championships was the Italian F4 Championship and the Formula 4 Sudamericana which started in 2014. The Spanish championship was launched by the RFEDA on 14 November 2014. French race car constructor Mygale was contracted to design and build all the cars. Ultimately the whole idea was abandoned.
With the announcement that Koiranen will be a promoter of the championship, the Spanish F4 championship will be scheduled to start in 2016. As a result of the partnership with Koiranen, the championship will make use of Tatuus cars, Abarth turbocharged engines and Hankook tyres, employing the same technical regulations as the SMP F4 Championship, which Koiranen also promotes.
The championship features Tatuus designed and built cars. The cars will be constructed out of carbon fibre and feature a monocoque chassis. The engine is a 1.4 turbo Abarth. This is the same engine as in the SMP F4 Championship.
