Previous: 2006	Next: 2008

The 2007 GP4 Offline Championship was the second official season of the championship. It was contested on Grand Prix 4 which used the F1 2007 mod. The series was hosted by Azrul Zafri aka azschmy.

Jyri Määttä, the flying Finn came to the season finale at Interlagos as the underdog with a 6 point deficit from Joseph Willows and a 3 point deficit to Will Neller, who was leading most of the championship until Japan. He managed to take the championship after finishing 2nd in the race with Joesph Willows and Will Neller both crashing out of the race at the Senna S. They finished with 98, 96 and 93 points respectively. George Roke managed to win the same race, which was enough to take 4th in the standings from Sonntag who had a poor end to the season after his win at home at the Nürburgring. They scored 61 and 55 points respectively. McKenzie secured 6th, despite being faster than Roke but inconsistency played a part. James Willows took 7th after a close battle with the Renault's, Williams' and the Toyota of Paige Knight.

Mótyán led home the guys with less than 10 points from the unreliable Hondas, the Super Aguris and all 4 Red Bull drivers with Strachan getting the most with 7 after a poor start, finishing no lower than 9th at the end, with the Toro Rossos not scoring a single point. Sin Cara who finished every race last season, suffered reliability issues all season long. He retired from 6 races, however had some good results. Mogyorósi Dániel was another one having issues in 2007, only managing 2 10th places at Spa and Fuji.
