Announced in conjunction with news of the CAMS Payce Australian Formula 4 Championship’s AGP debut, the F4 Asian-Pacific cup will pit ‘Team Australia’ against drivers from Japan, Malaysia, and China.
Australia will be represented by the top three drivers from the CAMS Payce Australian Formula 4 Championship plus one wildcard when the new event is held at China’s Ningbo International SpeedPark on October 17-19.
“We’re really excited to confirm that we will be supporting a ‘Team Australia’ at the first ever F4 Asian-Pacific Cup later this year,” said CAMS Director of Motor Sport and Commercial Operations, Michael Smith.
“This is yet another opportunity that Formula 4 is providing to aid the development of our future stars. This is in addition to the many opportunities the CAMS Payce Formula 4 Championship has provided to our drivers, including tests with Porsche Payce Carrera Cup teams and test days for our recent champions in a Supercar with Brad Jones Racing.
“Formula 4 is giving young drivers the chance to showcase their skills to high profile industry stakeholders and that is what the category is all about.
