167 Tatuus Cars in Action This Weekend: Racing Passion Across the Globe
167 Tatuus Cars in Action This Weekend: Racing Passion Across the Globe

Speed, talent, and competition: a weekend shaped by Tatuus Tatuus cars once again took the spotlight this past weekend, competing in six championships across Europe, America, and Asia. A dynamic mosaic of legendary circuits, rising stars, and intense racing — all behind the wheel of single-seaters born at the Tatuus HQ.

British F4 During the Formula 1 weekend at Silverstone, British F4 had the honor of racing on some of the most prestigious days of the global Motorsport season. Though the event didn’t award points for the championship standings, it offered an incredible platform for young drivers to shine — and with 26 entries, it was a strong showcase. Salim Hanna (Virtuosi Racing) stole the spotlight with two brilliant wins, racing in front of the F1 crowd and key motorsport stakeholders.
Next round: July 26–27 at Zandvoort, where championship points will be back in play.

USF Pro Championships Mid-Ohio hosted the traditional Independence Day round of the USF Pro Championships, where all three categories of the American ladder series delivered high-octane racing and patriotic celebrations. The trio of Tatuus models brought excitement in testing, qualifying, and tightly contested races. Liam Loiacono (JAY Howard Driver Development) took victory in USF Juniors Race 2, while Leonardo Escorpioni (Zanella Racing) extended his championship lead with a win in Race 1 and P3 in Race 2. In USF2000, Caleb Gafrarar (Pabst Racing) kicked off with a win before Jack Jeffers (Exclusive Autosport) dominated the next two races. In USF Pro 2000, Max Garcia (Pabst Racing) delivered back-to-back wins, building a 100-point lead over Ariel Elkin (TJ Speed Motorsport) in the championship.
A two-week break now follows: USF2000 and Pro 2000 return on July 18 in Toronto, while USF Juniors head to Road America on July 24. All three categories will then head to the season finale in Portland in early August.

GB3 The GB3 Championship visited the updated Hungaroring for another thrilling weekend of European competition. Three different winners in three races — Gianmarco Pradel (Rodin Motorsport) , Alex Ninovic (Rodin Motorsport) , and Reza Seewooruthun (Prema) — highlighted the competitive depth of the field. Championship leader Alex Ninovic now holds 233 points, ahead of Patrick Heuzenroeder (Xcel Motorsport) with 199.
The GB3 series now takes a break before resuming August 1 at Silverstone, followed by a UK-based stretch at Brands Hatch and Donington, leading up to the October finale in Monza.

FRECA Also racing at the Hungaroring, FRECA held its fourth round of the season. The intense title fight between Matteo De Palo (Trident) and Freddie Slater (Prema Racing) added another chapter as both drivers shared the wins in Race 1 and Race 2.
The championship remains tight and promises fireworks going forward — starting with Le Castellet on July 20.

Eurocup-3 The legendary Monza circuit marked the return of Eurocup-3 to Italian soil after a one-year absence. The Tatuus T-318s thrilled fans on Monza’s high-speed straights and heavy braking zones in two action-packed races. Ernesto Rivera (Campos Racing) claimed Race 1, while Mattia Colnaghi (MP Motorsport) took victory in Race 2, closing the gap in the title race — now trailing Rivera by just 4 points.
Monza also marked the mid-season point. The series will return after a long break on August 8 at Assen.

F4 Southeast Asia In Asia, F4 Southeast Asia took on the streets of Bangsaen , one of the most scenic and challenging venues of the season. The Tatuus T-421 cars roared through narrow barriers and tight corners in a weekend full of adrenaline. For the first time this season, Alex Sawer (Evans GP) did not win every race, settling for victory in Race 2. Race 1 saw Seth Gilmore take his maiden win. The Australian now sits second in the standings with six podium finishes.
The F4 SEA title will be decided in September, with a double-header at Sepang scheduled for September 5–7 and 19–21. [...]

Tatuus Single-Seaters and Formula 1 Weekends: Never-Ending Excitement
Tatuus Single-Seaters and Formula 1 Weekends: Never-Ending Excitement

Tatuus cars in the Formula 1 paddock: a winning tradition repeated throughout the year

British F4 was just the latest series to bring Tatuus single-seaters into the Formula 1 paddock, a recurring tradition that delivers unforgettable emotions for drivers, teams, and fans alike.
While the spotlight of every Formula 1 weekend understandably falls on the premier-class sessions, for the rising stars of the junior categories, entering an F1 pit lane, often for the very first time, is a unique and highly formative experience.

F1 Academy Since 2024, the Formula 1 Academy has shared the paddock with F1 at every event, and the drivers consistently highlight how important this is for their growth, adrenaline management, and increased visibility. But there’s more: the track itself changes depending on the categories running over the weekend. Going out just before or after the F1 cars can make a world of difference in terms of grip and performance — it’s night and day for any driver.
In 2025, the F1 Academy will run seven rounds: Shanghai, Jeddah, Miami, and Montreal have already taken place, while Zandvoort, Singapore, and Las Vegas are still to come. These events have offered countless opportunities for the young women to interact with Formula 1 stars, who continue to support the series' inclusive mission for female drivers aged 16 to 25.

British F4, F4 Nacam and Brazilian F4 In addition to the F1 Academy, British F4 became the first series in 2025 to access the F1 paddock, doing so at none other than the iconic Silverstone Circuit. Although the round didn’t count toward the championship standings, it drew an impressive 26 young talents — a clear sign of its prestige — and provided unforgettable moments in one of the rare occasions where the entire single-seater pyramid (F4, F3, F2, and F1) ran together on the same track.
The 2025 calendar features two more occasions for Tatuus cars to line up alongside their F1 counterparts, bringing the season’s total to ten. On October 24–26, F4 Nacam returns to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez as a support race to the Mexican Grand Prix, followed two weeks later by F4 Brazil at Interlagos — one of the most thrilling and emotional races on the F1 calendar.
In 2024, Tatuus cars supported nine F1 Grands Prix, with the season finale in Abu Dhabi featuring both the F1 Academy and the F4 UAE Trophy Round. Going further back, the list of events becomes nearly endless, including prestigious moments like the Formula Regional European Championship and Formula Renault competing on the legendary streets of Monte Carlo.

Beyond Formula 1 Formula 1 isn’t the only top-tier series to share the paddock with Tatuus single-seaters. The USF Pro Championships spend much of their season alongside the IndyCar Series, providing drivers with a well-structured development path toward the summit of American motorsport. The traditional season opener on the Streets of St. Petersburg is a fan favorite for both IndyCar and USF, and a proud moment for the Tatuus brand. Other key events include the season finale in Portland and the legendary month of May, when the Indy GP allows Tatuus cars to race at the famed Speedway, followed by Carb Night at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, the Friday night event of the Indy 500 weekend.
And that’s not all: Tatuus cars are active each year in top-level paddocks such as DTM, the European and Asian Le Mans Series, 24H Series, and GT World Challenge. They compete on the world’s most iconic and challenging circuits, the kind every driver dreams of racing and winning on. [...]

New Partnership between Tatuus, ATM, and Sparco
New Partnership between Tatuus, ATM, and Sparco

Tatuus, ATM, and Sparco: a new partnership rooted in shared heritage
The passion for motorsport and racing comes together in a new partnership between the two companies of the Group led by the TEC Racing fund and Sparco , a global leader in technical motorsport equipment, which becomes the official supplier of all workwear and corporate apparel for both brands.
A partnership rooted in a shared heritage , deeply embedded in the finest Italian motorsport tradition , yet with a clear vision toward the global stage — every weekend, this passion comes to life on racing circuits around the world, where it is transformed into competition and an unwavering attention to detail . Both organizations have long been key players on some of the most prestigious tracks — from the F1 Academy to the E4 Championship , the Formula Regional European Championship , British F4 , Eurocup-3 , and Italian Formula 4 , to name just a few. Their work is defined by a relentless focus on performance, safety, and innovation. Years of collaboration in paddocks and pit lanes have forged a strong bond, which now takes shape as a structured and strategic partnership, with the goal of further strengthening their joint presence on the international racing scene.
Driven by the same meticulous attention to detail, two dedicated apparel collections have been developed. Designed by Sparco to deliver both comfort and versatility, each garment has been carefully customized to reflect the distinctive colors and branding of Tatuus and ATM. Crafted with a focus on maximum efficiency and the highest safety standards , these pieces are made for those who bring cars and engines to life every day — and who go on to support teams and championships on the track. The collections capture the essence of racing style , adapted for a range of uses — from everyday work at headquarters to pit lane operations and official team representation.
Designs and colors that blend the heritage of both companies with their unmistakable racing spirit: Tatuus’ signature blue and green are paired with bold use of black to create a collection of garments that are both sleek and striking — much like the single-seaters crafted daily at the Tatuus headquarters. Meanwhile, ATM’s iconic palette of white, red, and black is brought to life through bold, dynamic designs, perfectly capturing the essence of the engine builder from Casalmaggiore and its enduring presence on the track alongside teams and championships across every motorsport category.
The launch campaign for the two new collections — captured through the lens of photographer Mattia Negrini — features the employees and headquarters of Tatuus and ATM as both protagonists and the perfect stage to showcase every detail of the garments. From the durability and flexibility of the technical materials worn by engine builders and mechanics to the refined shirts worn by the men and women who represent the two brands in the office or on the road, each piece highlights the unique blend of function and style tailored to every role within the motorsport world.
“This collaboration is a natural meeting point between organizations united by the same passion for motorsport and a deep attention to detail,” said Niccolò Bellazzini, Brand Manager at Sparco . “We believe that apparel should reflect and express a company’s identity through the people who represent it every day. These two collections were created to meet the practical needs of day-to-day work, while maintaining high quality standards and offering a level of customization that seamlessly adapts to any operational context — all without ever compromising on racing style.”
“Our partnership with Sparco is one we have strongly pursued,” said Giovanni Delfino, CEO of Tatuus and ATM . “It is a collaboration founded on shared values that will enhance both our image and daily operations. It aligns with one of the core pillars of our Group culture: continuous attention to our people, ensuring that every man and woman can perform under the best possible conditions of comfort. Sparco’s ability to listen to — and even anticipate — the needs of motorsport organizations like ours has already proven to be a major asset. We are confident that our shared vision for the future of racing will fuel a highly successful partnership.”

CEO Giovanni Delfino at Motor Valley Fest 2025: “Tatuus and the Group are working to build a Motorsport ecosystem in Italy”
CEO Giovanni Delfino at Motor Valley Fest 2025: “Tatuus and the Group are working to build a Motorsport ecosystem in Italy”

The words of CEO Giovanni Delfino during the “Racing & Innovation” panel
Among the most anticipated events on the Italian motorsport and automotive calendar, the 2025 edition of the Motor Valley Fest officially kicked off on the morning of Thursday, June 5th, in Modena. Exhibitions, events, and a series of talks and insights brought four days of racing passion to the heart of the city, away from the track.
Just after the opening conference, it was already time to dive into passion, racing, and competition with the panel “Racing & Innovation”, which featured Tatuus Group CEO Giovanni Delfino among its key speakers.

Tatuus and the Group’s key role in the racing landscape “We are a Group aiming to create an ecosystem in Italy, bringing together various niches of the Italian motorsport world in order to produce a complete and integrated product. This synergy allows us to achieve efficiency right from the start, when a product is being conceived. Pairing chassis, engine, safety devices and everything else needed from the very first moment—when a new set of regulations is released—is, for us, a major advantage in terms of efficiency. 
Thanks to these processes Tatuus has become a global reference point in the design, production and sale of race cars that guide drivers through the upper tiers of the motorsport ladder.
I often remind those who work with and for us how challenging it is to design and build a car that includes all the safety systems of top-tier championships—particularly in terms of loads and homologation processes—at a cost and price that we cannot freely set as they follow precise international regulations.
This is a technological challenge: for us, sustainability means building this kind of car using cutting-edge technologies and processes, meeting homologation requirements, in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost.
We must bring to the track everything needed to protect and nurture drivers in a highly competitive environment. The design phase is crucial to ensuring optimal safety and performance."

The Group and the financial environment “The Group’s integration strategy was originally envisioned by Tatuus President Gianfranco De Bellis. Thanks to his vision, several key partners have joined a far-reaching project. The entrepreneur’s true insight lies in understanding the right moment to bring in capital to support the growth of new projects.
You have to learn to speak a common language with the financial world and be structurally prepared for growth, while also developing long-term business strategies.
The COVID pandemic brought everything to a halt and forced us to choose between stopping or boosting on our investment. That moment of potential crisis, however, gave birth to major innovations—such as the ATM V6 engine. It was a financial risk, but pure R&D: a leap of faith that led to something new."
F1 Academy “This represents a major visibility boost for us: I’ll never stop thanking Susie Wolff and Stefano Domenicali for believing in us. This is a championship that supports Formula 1 at seven events, and in this era of communication, it has given us presence on countless platforms where we were not previously visible. Being side by side with the top tier of motorsport is a source of pride for an Italian Group that now travels the world with F1."

Other panel participants Joining the CEO of Tatuus and the Group on stage at the Complesso San Paolo in Modena were Rodi Basso (CEO E1 Series), Roberto Dalla (Formula 1 Chief Technical and Engineering Officer), Paul Mitchell (Indy Autonomous Challenge Chairman & President), Fabrizio Medea (Senior Partner at Wise Equity), Massimiliano Marsiaj (Executive Vice President of Sabelt), Cristiana Pace (Founder & CEO of Enovation Consulting Ltd), Maria Conti (Head of Maserati Corse), Marco Zambenedetti (Technical Coordinator, Ducati SBK Team), and Roberto Fedeli (CTO Aston Martin Group).

Gallery: A Successful Debut for the MSV-GB3-025!

The MSV-GB3-025 has already proven capable of delivering thrilling racing, impressing both teams and drivers!
“What a car” – that was the message Freddie Slater shared on his social channels after a weekend in which he claimed two victories out of three and took the early lead in the GB3 Championship standings.
It was a hugely successful debut , packed with exciting races through the corners of Silverstone and widespread enthusiasm across the paddock, setting the stage for what promises to be a captivating season. 25 cars lined up on the grid , with Slater dominating Race 1 and Race 2, consistently chased by Noah Lisle. Gianmarco Pradel and Nikita Johnson took turns stepping onto the third step of the podium in the opening two races.
Race 3, run with a reversed grid for the top 12 qualifiers, brought no shortage of drama, contact and wheel-to-wheel battles. At the end of it all, Will Macintyre emerged victorious, ahead of Patrick Heuzenroeder and Kai Daryanani.
One of the standout performers of the weekend was Deagen Fairclough : starting from the pit lane in Race 1 and from the back of the grid in both Race 2 and 3, the British talent fully exploited the new car’s characteristics—especially the DRS—to deliver a flurry of overtakes. His charge through the field in Race 3, gaining 18 positions to finish seventh, was particularly impressive.
After a two-week break, the GB3 Championship will return for its first race outside the UK, scheduled for May 16–18 at Zandvoort.

The time has come: the MSV-GB3-025 is ready for its debut!
The time has come: the MSV-GB3-025 is ready for its debut!

The wait is finally over: the GB3 Championship and the all-new MSV-GB3-025 are ready to hit the track!

From the moment the first sketches of the MSV-GB3-025 were drawn, the countdown began. A process that evolved through multiple project stages, accelerating with excitement in October 2024 when the very first car rolled out of the Tatuus HQ. From then on, the wait took on a new form — a countdown to the first official sessions, marked by test days, driver announcements, and livery reveals. Now, just a few steps remain before the anticipation gives way to the thrill of the first qualifying session and the season’s opening three races.
Silverstone will serve as the perfect stage for the new model’s debut this weekend, featuring 25 cars on the grid, a roster of top-tier talent, and many new highlights for the series.

A new DRS challenge The opening races of the new car will also mark a historic first : the competitive debut of Drag Reduction System (DRS) on a Tatuus single-seater.
During qualifying, drivers will be allowed unlimited DRS use within the permitted zones. In races, however, DRS activation will be restricted to instances when the gap to the car ahead is less than one second, as measured at specific detection points. At Silverstone, those detection zones will be placed at Maggotts and Village, activating DRS on the Hangar and Wellington straights respectively.

10 teams, plenty of talent Two new teams join an already elite paddock, forming a highly competitive grid set to battle it out on some of Europe’s most iconic circuits.
Here are all the teams and confirmed entries for Round 1:
Argenti with Prema Reza Seewooruthun Yuanpu Cui Lucas Fluxá

The calendar The schedule and venues are another major novelty of the upcoming season. The 2025 GB3 Championship will feature 8 rounds and 24 races: half on Britain’s legendary circuits , the other half on some of Europe’s most prestigious tracks . The grand finale, set for October 18-19 at Autodromo di Monza , promises a unique and symbolic close to the season.
Here are all the 2025 dates:

Weekend Format Each race weekend will begin with testing or free practice , followed by a qualifying session split into two 15-minute segments, separated by a 5-minute break. These will determine the grids for Race 1 and Race 2 respectively. Race 3 will once again feature the popular reverse-grid format: the top 12 from Qualifying 2 will be reversed, while positions 13 onward remain unchanged.
All three races will run for 25 minutes.

The Prizes The top five drivers in the final championship standings will receive FIA Super Licence points — with 10 points going to the champion.
The Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup returns once again: every pole will earn £300, with an additional £2,000 and a trophy awarded to the driver with the most poles over the season.
Finally, the Omologato "One to Watch Award" will reward the driver who scores the most points across Races 1 and 2 each weekend.

How to follow the Silverstone weekend
 The Silverstone races – and indeed all races throughout the season – will be streamed live on MotorSport Vision’s YouTube channel: MSV TV .
