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.
