Race calendar and results

[edit]

The provisional calendar featuring 5 rounds and 18 races was announced in February 2023.[5] On 9 April 2023, the calendar was officially updated, Zhuhai International Circuit would host the first race instead of Zhengzhou International Circuit, and the second round in Ningbo International Circuit would be shifted one week backward.[6] The round at Pingtan Ruyi Lake International Circuit was postponed by one week to 25–27 August.[7] The round at Tianfu International Circuit was cancelled, and moved to Zhuhai International Circuit on the same date.[8] The final round was supposed to take place during the 2023 edition of Macau Grand Prix, but the organisers of the Macanese event decided to replace the F4 Chinese round with a non-championship, invitation-only event within the revived 2023 Formula 4 South East Asia Championship season.[9] The final round of the championship was moved to Ningbo International Circuit at 17-19 November.
