Formula Abarth was an open wheel racing series based in Italy and Europe aimed at karting graduates. The inaugural season was in 2010, effectively replacing the Formula Azzurra.
Abarth have taken over the supporting Project Youth initiative, that started in 2005.'[1]
After the success of 2010 season, in which competed international drivers and teams, a new European series has been created with a prize offered in collaboration with Ferrari Driver Academy.
Following a restructure of the FIA single-seater ladder, Formula Abarth was renamed the Italian Formula 4 Championship, retaining the Abarth engines.
