ADAC to stage Formula 4 in Germany in 2015

The ADAC plans to introduce Formula 4 in Germany in 2015. The low-cost, entry-level series into single-seat junior motor racing will replace Formel ADAC. ADAC Sports President Hermann Tomczyk said: “We are providing a modern platform for junior open-wheel racing in Germany with the introduction of ADAC Formula 4. Consequently, there will be a seamless path for trainees up from Formula 4 to Formula 1 via Formula 3, while complying with the most advanced safety standards throughout. There are still some organisational issues that need to be clarified with the FIA, but I am confident that ADAC Formula 4 will become a reality in Germany next year.”

President of the FIA Single-Seat Comission Gerhard Berger commented: “Germany sets an example and is a key market for motor racing trainees throughout the world, so I am very pleased that the ADAC is planning to introduce the FIA F4 Championship in 2015. I am certain that this championship will provide a stepping stone for many future F1 drivers.”

The FIA World Motor Sport Council agreed in 2013 to introduce this new single-seat category that can be run in affiliated countries.
