FIA-certified championship with DMSB support

F4 Germany is a German championship, for which GEDLICH Racing and the DMSB have secured licensing from the international motorsport authority, the FIA. Consequently, Super Licence points will be awarded to the series frontrunners, to aid their journey towards Formula One. “We are grateful for the excellent support from the German Motor Sport Federation (DMSB), which worked with us – and in cooperation with the FIA – over a long period to bring this arrangement to fruition,” said Robin Selbach, Managing Director of GEDLICH Racing.

“With the FIA-certified F4 Germany, we are strengthening formula racing in Germany. Formula 4 represents a crucial step in the development of young drivers on their journey to the highest level of motorsport. We are delighted to support this process together with GEDLICH Racing, the FIA and all other partners, and look forward with great anticipation to the debut season of this new junior championship,” said Robin Strycek, DMSB Board Member for Sport.
