From Sydney to iconic European circuits such as Silverstone and Spa: Tatuus single-seaters take center stage



A new racing weekend is underway across circuits around the globe, and for Tatuus single-seaters, the busiest period of the season shows no signs of slowing down. Just five days after the record-breaking weekend for the number of cars on track, another 148 Tatuus formula cars are set to battle it out, driven by an equal number of future stars, on some of the most prestigious and beloved venues in world motorsport. From Spa-Francorchamps and Silverstone all the way to Sydney, four different Tatuus models will once again take center stage.



FIA FREC

Barely enough time to switch off the engines at Zandvoort, and the FIA Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine is already back in action at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit.


Championship leader Sebastian Wheldon (MP Motorsport) arrives in Belgium riding the momentum of a dominant double victory at Zandvoort. Chasing him are Reno Francot (CL Motorsport), 12 points adrift, and Rashid Al Dhaheri (R-ace GP, running under the Yas Heat banner), who trails by 22 points.


The weekend has already kicked off with Friday’s free practice sessions, but the action will intensify with Saturday morning qualifying (10:05 local time) followed by Race 1 in the afternoon (14:15 local time). Sunday will mirror the schedule, with qualifying at 09:55 and the second and final race at 14:20.


All qualifying sessions and races will be streamed live on the championship’s YouTube channel.



GB3 Championship

Sharing the Spa paddock with the FIA FREC T-326 cars are the MSV-GB3-025 machines competing in the GB3 Championship.


Three races are scheduled, with Nikita Bedrin (VRD Racing) looking to defend the championship lead he consolidated at Silverstone against the challenges of Maxim Rehm (Rodin Motorsport), Jin Nakamura (Hitech TGR), and the rest of the chasing pack.


Friday already featured qualifying, but Saturday promises to be the key day, with Race 1 at 10:55 and Race 2 at 15:50 local time. The third and final race will take place on Sunday at 11:30.


All races will be broadcast live on Motorsport Vision’s official YouTube channel.



British F4

It is another back-to-back event for the 32-car British F4 grid, as the paddock has moved from Snetterton to Silverstone in just a few days. The home of British motorsport remains one of the most iconic and beloved circuits among drivers.


The championship battle also resumes between points leader Dries Van Langendonck (Rodin Motorsport) and Lewis Wherrell (JHR Developments), who claimed two victories during last weekend’s event.


Following testing and free practice sessions, qualifying is scheduled for Saturday at 11:00. Race 1 will start at 13:55, while Sunday’s programme features Race 2 at 10:10 and Race 3 at 15:15 local time.


All races will be streamed live on the championship’s YouTube channel.



F4 CEZ

The Formula 4 CEZ Championship returns to Salzburgring for the third time, and this weekend it will feature the largest grid among all Tatuus-powered series, with 40 T-421 cars entered.


David Walther (Maffi Racing) will aim to defend the slim championship lead he established during the opening round against Elia Weiss (Jenzer Motorsport) and teammate Max Karhan.


Friday’s schedule was dedicated to testing and free practice, but serious business begins on Saturday with Qualifying 1 at 08:00, followed later in the morning by Qualifying 2. Race 1 will start at 15:50 on Saturday, while Sunday will feature Race 2 (09:00), Race 3 (12:25), and Race 4 (16:20).


All official sessions will be streamed live on the championship’s YouTube channel.



AU4

The Australian series also returns for its second round of the season, featuring both first-generation and second-generation Formula 4 cars on the same grid.


In the T-421 class, Jensen Marold and Marco Manson currently occupy first and second place in the standings after sharing the three victories available during the opening round.


Friday testing has already concluded, and attention now turns to qualifying (11:00 local time) and Race 1 (14:45 local time). The weekend will conclude on Sunday with Race 2 at 10:35 and Race 3 at 14:20 local time.



Ultimate Cup Series - Hoosier Cup

The Hoosier Formula Cup, the single-seater category of the Ultimate Cup Series, returns to Magny-Cours for its second round of the season.


The T-318 once again takes center stage, along with championship leader Stepan Suslov (Winfield Racing), winner of all three races during the opening round, and his closest rival and teammate Martin Stoyanov, who finished runner-up in each race of the season opener.


Official sessions are already underway, with Race 1 scheduled for Friday afternoon, followed by Race 2 at 18:45. Race 3 will take place on Saturday at 11:50.


The entire race programme of the Ultimate Cup Series will be streamed live on the championship’s YouTube channel.

“Motorsport works like magic, capable of inspiring that uniquely Italian determination to keep believing in something even when the numbers don’t add up.”
“Motorsport works like magic, capable of inspiring that uniquely Italian determination to keep believing in something even when the numbers don’t add up.”
The words of CEO Giovanni Delfino in an interview with la Repubblica.

The CEO of Tatuus, ATM – Autotecnica Motori, and the Korus Group was featured in an interview published today in la Repubblica and written by Irene Saderini. During the conversation, he reflected on some of the most important and defining moments of his career, while also sharing his views on several aspects of the global motorsport industry.
The full interview is available on repubblica.it .

A Personal Journey A central theme of the interview is the CEO’s personal story, which began with his decision to pursue engineering studies and continued through a career marked by bold choices and decisive moments: “I don’t believe in luck; I believe in being able to seize it. When an opportunity comes your way, you have to recognize it. That said, it would be unfair to claim I wasn’t fortunate. I joined the company when I had virtually nothing. The founder allowed me to repay my debt over time, and I only finished paying the last installments two or three years ago.”
Delfino also spoke about his early years at Alfa Corse, where he developed his passion for experimentation and performance engineering: “At heart, I am a track engineer. I worked in the testing departments, where our job was to find that extra half horsepower from a finished product. My first experiences came in Alfa Romeo Touring Cars, with drivers such as Giovanardi, Tarquini and Larini competing against BMW and Mercedes. Sometimes those extra two horsepower were what won you the race.”

Formula 4 and Driver Development Among the key topics discussed was the production of Formula racing cars and engines, today one of the cornerstones of the Korus Group: “Everything starts with studying the regulations, which always leave room for interpretation—and success comes from finding the right one.” Speaking about Formula 4 engines, Delfino explained: “It all starts with a four-cylinder Fiat 500 Abarth unit. It must cost less than €16,500 due to the price cap and last 10,000 kilometres. My objective is to ensure that every engine performs the same.” The reward is seeing young talents progress step by step through the motorsport ladder and ultimately reach the highest levels of the sport: “It was particularly rewarding to see Andrea Kimi Antonelli begin his career in one of our cars.”

The Motorsport Industry The interview also included a broader reflection on the remarkable momentum motorsport is experiencing worldwide: “Motorsport sometimes works like a kind of magic, capable of overcoming marketing logic and keeping alive that uniquely Italian determination to believe in something even when the numbers don’t add up.”
Particularly representative of the Korus Group’s vision was Delfino’s perspective on internal combustion and electric powertrains: “For me, the smell of a winning engine is the smell of gasoline, hard work and sacrifice. A twelve-cylinder engine on track is like a violin—actually, an entire orchestra of violins. Racing is my world, and I find it difficult to see any of that emotion in batteries alone. Hybrid technology, however, is a different story. We are part of the FIA working group on the new regulations, and I find the hybrid approach very compelling.”

Tatuus Celebrates the 500th T-421, the World’s Most Widely Used Formula 4 Car
Tatuus Celebrates the 500th T-421, the World’s Most Widely Used Formula 4 Car
The Lainate-based manufacturer has celebrated the production and delivery of the 500th chassis of the single-seater on which Kimi Antonelli and Arvid Lindblad developed their careers.

Born in 2021, the Tatuus T-421 reached its 500th unit produced and delivered in May 2026, once again confirming its status as one of the most manufactured and successful racing single-seaters worldwide. The milestone was celebrated by the Lainate-based brand together with all its employees and the sister companies of the Korus group, which contribute daily to the T-421 project: ATM–Autotecnica Motori, Breda Racing, and Next Solution Technologies.
Today, the T-421 is the most widely used Formula 4 car in the world, competing across 16 championships spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania. Behind its wheel, some of the most exciting talents in contemporary motorsport have developed, including Kimi Antonelli and Arvid Lindblad , who built the first steps of their single-seater careers in the second-generation Tatuus F4 before progressing all the way to the pinnacle of Formula 1.
“The 500th T-421 is not only a major milestone for Tatuus, but also an important achievement for the entire international motorsport ecosystem,” said Giovanni Delfino, CEO of Tatuus and the Korus Group. “With the introduction of Formula 4 in 2014, the FIA created a new pathway between karting and single-seaters, enabling drivers to arrive better prepared for higher categories. This model has established itself through years of significant growth in motorsport, during which many championships were launched and expanded, now reaching grids of nearly 50 cars per round with the second generation we celebrate today. These are figures that were difficult to imagine at the beginning of this journey, but which now define the everyday reality of many of the companies within the Korus Group.”
“Throughout Tatuus’ history, many of our models have achieved widespread adoption across global championships and have demonstrated unparalleled driver development capabilities,” added Gianfranco De Bellis, President of Tatuus and the Korus group. “The T-421 is writing an important chapter in the history of our brand and, together with the first-generation car, is now approaching 800 units produced. These volumes allow us to aim toward the milestone of 1,000 F4 single-seaters, a figure previously approached by the various Formula Renault models that marked a turning point in our history and in the development path of many drivers.”
As the second generation of Formula 4 single-seaters, the T-421 succeeded the T-014, which from 2014—the year Formula 4 was introduced—through 2021 was produced in just under 300 units. It represented the ideal platform for drivers transitioning from karting to single-seaters, and helped develop talents such as Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen, Isack Hadjar, Liam Lawson, Lance Stroll, Oliver Bearman, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Franco Colapinto.
The T-421 is just one of many examples of the cooperation that makes the Korus group one of the leading global ecosystems in motorsport engineering. The companies within the Group involved in the celebration have contributed to the project from day one, within a consolidated model of synergies that each year gives rise to new cars, powertrains, and solutions for motorsport.
Specifically, ATM–Autotecnica Motori developed and supplies the Abarth-derived inline four-cylinder engine that powers the car, while Breda Racing is responsible for a large portion of the components—such as the halo and suspension arms—as well as instrumentation required for managing the cars both on track and at HQ. Next Solution Technologies provides a significant part of the car’s electronic and electromechanical systems, in addition to supplying steering wheels and rain lights.
However, the milestone of 500 cars does not represent a finishing point for Tatuus. Production of the current model will continue through 2028 , when FIA regulations foresee the introduction of the third-generation car , on which the brands of the Korus Group are already actively working.
