A single season in Formula 4 may not exceed €100,000 in costs. The SMP 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 SMP championship was launched by SMP Racing, the Russian Automobile Federation, Koiranen GP and AKK-Motorsport on 22 July 2014.[3] Italian race car constructor Tatuus was contracted to design and build all the cars.
The championship expanded out of the FIA North European Zone for its second season. Following the failure to establish a separate Formula 4 championship in the Benelux region, it will incorporate two rounds in the Netherlands, and will award a Dutch Formula 4 Trophy for these two rounds plus a standalone Formula 4 Festival.[4]MP Motorsport will also operate cars alongside Koiranen GP, which ran all drivers in the inaugural season.
