F4 race cars represent the entry level of formula racing in India, providing an affordable platform for young Indian drivers to develop their skills. These single-seater vehicles feature a tubular steel chassis and are powered by 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engines producing approximately 160 horsepower.
Indian motorsport has seen growing interest in F4 racing with local manufacturers like JK Tyre supporting the championship. The cars use locally produced components where possible, including braking systems and suspension parts sourced from Indian automotive suppliers. The MRF Racing Academy has been instrumental in developing F4 racing infrastructure across major Indian circuits including Buddh International Circuit and Madras Motor Race Track.
These racing machines adhere to FIA safety standards while maintaining cost-effectiveness for Indian racing teams. The aerodynamic package includes a front wing, rear wing, and diffuser designed for balanced performance on Indian track conditions. Many Indian automotive engineering students gain practical experience working on these race cars through internship programs with racing teams. |
