F4 class changes

British Formula 4 has decided to ditch its Challenge Cup concept after just one season with the Rookie Cup returning for this year. The Challenge Cup was for drivers contesting no more than seven of the 10 events and aimed at those without the budget for a full season. But only six different drivers entered it in 2017 – with one of those, Oliver York, opting to do the full season instead – and now the Rookie Cup will return with the winner receiving free entry to the championship for 2019.
