British Formula 4 has revealed its calendar for the 2027 season, which includes races at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium for the first time.
The championship raced only in England and Scotland from its inaugural season in 2015 through to 2023, then two years ago an overseas trip was undertaken with a round at Zandvoort.
That proved to be a success, attracting the season’s largest grid by far, and remained on the calendar for the next two years. The Dutch Grand Prix venue featured British F4’s largest grids again in 2025, and the joint largest in 2026.
It will drop off the schedule next year though, with the championship instead supporting Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix at Spa on July 23-25.
“Competing at the Belgian GP is without a doubt one of the standout events,” said British F4’s championship manager Eve Lake-Grange of Spa’s inclusion in the 2027 calendar.
“However we are equally as enthusiastic about travelling the length and breadth of the UK and putting on a show at many of the iconic circuits we have on our doorstep.”
British F4 will primarily support the British Touring Car Championship, with racing getting underway at Donington Park’s National layout on April 10/11.
Brands Hatch’s shorter Indy layout is used for round two on May 8/9, then drivers not only get to tackle Silverstone’s current Grand Prix layout on May 14-16 but also get to contend for the BRDC International Trophy.
The following rounds are at Snetterton (May 29/30) and Oulton Park (June 12/13), before teams head abroad to Belgium.
After visiting Croft (August 14/15), teams revisit circuits for the last three rounds as Donington’s Grand Prix layout is used (September 11/12), Silverstone’s shorter National layout is raced on (September 25/26) and then Brands Hatch hosts the season finale on its full Grand Prix loop (October 8/9).
“Maintaining our longstanding association with TOCA on the BTCC package, and the unparalleled exposure that it brings, is also a huge positive,” added Lake-Grange. “Next year is already shaping up to be one of the biggest and best years yet for British F4 and we can’t wait to get going.”
