Frequently asked questions
Do I need an international race licence?
Yes for sanctioned championships. Most formula cars require at least a national-A grade licence, and FIA single-seater training is recommended.
What does it cost to run a formula car?
Budget depends on class. F4 budgets start around €80k/season for a full national championship. Historic Formula 3 or club single-seaters can run for €20-40k/season.
