May has arrived, and for the USF Pro Championships, it’s time to hit the track in the Racing Capital of the World!



There are unique moments on the global motorsport and sporting calendar—and the month of May in Indianapolis is undoubtedly one of them.



A true celebration of speed, the month will once again feature a double-header event, with the IndyCar Series taking center stage and the Tatuus cars of the USF Pro Championships right alongside.



It all kicks off this weekend with the Indy GP, held on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course. The Tatuus IP-20 (USF Pro 2000) and USF-22 (USF 2000) cars have already completed qualifying and are set to race on Friday, May 9 and Saturday, May 10.



Ariel Elkin will start from pole position in Race 1 for USF Pro 2000, while Teddy Musella claimed the top spot on the grid in USF 2000.



L’Indy GP sarà però solamente il primo atto per le monoposto delle due categorie della “Road to Indy”. Dopo una sola settimana di pausa sarà But the Indy GP is just the opening act for the single-seaters in the “Road to Indy.” After just a short break, it will be time to return to the track for the only oval round of the season. While the IndyCar Series takes on the legendary oval layout of the Speedway, the young talents of the USF will race under the lights at the nearby 0.686-mile Lucas Oil Raceway on May 22–23, in the Freedom 75 (USF 2000) and Freedom 90 (USF Pro 2000).



The Month of May is underway—and it’s packed with must-see racing action!

9 Championships and 195 Cars on Track This Weekend: A New Record for Tatuus!
9 Championships and 195 Cars on Track This Weekend: A New Record for Tatuus!

New record for Tatuus cars competing in a single weekend: the 2024 milestone surpassed

It’s a clear sign of the incredible global growth achieved by the Tatuus brand: 9 championships taking place across 8 different countries spanning Asia, Europe, and the Americas, with 195 cars on track and just as many female and male drivers chasing their dreams of reaching the highest levels of global motorsport.
This will be an historic weekend for the Tatuus brand and for ATM, which will be present in 7 of the 9 championships.
Formula 4 SEA - Sepang F4 Italia - Misano FR European Championship by Alpine - Misano British F4 - Silverstone Spanish F4 - Navarra Formula 1 Academy - Miami USF Juniors - Barber F4 Nacam - Mexico City F4 Brasileira - Interlagos
This global presence has been made possible thanks to the excellence of the championships, promoters, federations, teams, and drivers involved — as well as the outstanding logistical planning and coordination of the entire group: Tatuus, ATM, and Breda Racing, from the three Italian headquarters to race tracks on every continent.
The previous record dated back to less than a year ago: in June 2024, 8 championships featured a total of 180 cars on track. [...]

Recap and best shots from Tatuus’ record-breaking weekend
Recap and best shots from Tatuus’ record-breaking weekend

195 cars, 9 championships, 25 races, more than 50 on-track sessions, and a non-stop flow of excitement!

Race 4 of the Italian Formula 4 Championship wrapped up the week at 8:00 PM (CET) on Sunday, closing out what will go down as a historic chapter in the Tatuus story. The 195 cars that set the all-time record put on a show across 25 races, run in everything from summer heat to torrential rain — the latter even forcing the cancellation of Race 2 in the Formula 1 Academy.
For many categories, it was the season opener. For others, it was a prestigious round at an iconic venue. For all, it was a great success.

Formula 1 Academy As mentioned, F1 Academy had to cancel Sunday’s race due to a heavy storm that hit the Miami circuit just minutes before lights out. On Saturday, however, the field delivered a fiercely competitive race full of wheel-to-wheel action, won by Doriane Pin (Prema Racing, Mercedes livery) ahead of Alisha Palmowski and Chloe Chambers (both Campos Racing, racing in Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Ford liveries respectively). Maya Weug (MP Motorsport, Ferrari livery) finished fourth, keeping her lead in the standings by a single point.
Next up: Montreal, June 13–15, the midway point of the season.

Formula 4 Italia The season kicked off in Misano with an incredible 41 drivers and cars on the grid. Prema Racing dominated, with Kean Nakamura-Berta taking three wins out of four, and Sebastian Wheldon winning Race 1. Over the course of the weekend, podium finishes also went to Maksimilian Popov (Van Amersfoort Racing), Salim Hanna (Prema), Emanuele Olivieri (R-Ace GP), and Gabriel Gomez (US Racing).
After a two-week break, Italian F4 will return to the track in Vallelunga (May 23–25).

Formula Regional EU Championship by Alpine Just like F4 Italia, FRECA also kicked off its 2025 campaign at Misano. Race 1 on Saturday saw Matteo De Palo (Trident) take the win ahead of Evan Giltaire (ART Grand Prix) and Rashid Al Dhaheri (Prema). Giltaire responded by winning Race 2 on Sunday, followed by Freddie Slater (Prema) and De Palo.
FRECA takes just one week off before heading to the legendary corners of Spa.

British F4 It was back-to-back weekends for the Wera Tools British F4 Championship: after opening at Donington (April 26–27), the action moved to Silverstone, where Rodin Motorsport dominated. James Piszcyk won Races 1 and 3, while Adam Al Azhari claimed Race 2. Other podium finishers included Fionn McLaughlin (Hitech TGR), Martin Molnar (Virtuosi Racing), Tommy Harfield (Chris Dittmann Racing), and Rowan Campbell-Pilling (JHR Developments).
Only 8 points separate Australian Piszcyk (79) from Irishman McLaughlin (71). They and a tightly packed field will go head-to-head again at Snetterton, May 24–25.

Spanish F4 The second round of the Spanish F4 season took place at Navarra under ever-changing weather conditions — but that didn’t faze René Lammers (MP Motorsport), who claimed two wins and a second-place finish. Thomas Strauven (Campos) was a regular on the podium, and his teammate Jan Przyrowski won Race 1 and finished third in Race 2. Ean Eyckmans (MP Motorsport) took the final remaining podium finish.
The series now pauses for a month before heading to Portimão on June 6–8.

USF Juniors The youngest drivers in the USF ladder raced alongside the IndyCar Series at the “Alabama Roller Coaster” Barber Motorsports Park. Leonardo Escorpioni (Zanella Racing), starting from pole in all three races, won Races 1 and 2. His teammate Ty Fisher took victory in Race 3 and narrowly holds the championship lead — by a single point — over the Brazilian. Oliver Wheldon (VRD Racing) earned a pair of podiums — on the same day his older brother Sebastian won in Italian F4 at Misano.
While USF2000 and USF Pro 2000 prepare for May at Indianapolis starting this weekend with the Indy GP, the USF Juniors return to the track on June 6–8 in Lexington, Ohio.

F4 Brasil Three races, three winners, three different teams — that’s how the 2025 season opened at Interlagos. Ciro Sobral (TMG Racing), Murilo Rocha (Starrett Bassani), and Ethan Nobels (Cavaleiro Sports) each took one win. Nobels currently leads the standings with 52 points, ahead of Heitor Dell’Agnol and Pietro Mesquita (both TMG Racing) with 37 and 31 points respectively.
The next round takes place June 27–28 at Autodromo Velo Città in Mogi Guaçu.

Formula 4 NACAM Zaky Ibrahim (Ram Racing) continued his dominant run in Mexico City, winning all three races. Fernando Luque (Alessandros) was a consistent podium finisher, while Alex Popow Jr (Alessandros) and Marco Alquicira (Santinel Racing Team) split the remaining top-three finishes.
The championship returns to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on June 20–21.

Formula 4 SEA After a year-long break, Formula 4 Southeast Asia returned to Sepang. Alex Sawer and Evans GP swept the weekend with three wins. Rishon Rajeev (BlackArts Racing Team) and Seth Gilmore (Evans GP) each earned two podiums, while Iñigo Anton and Ben Ana Nguyen (both BlackArts) took one apiece.
F4 SEA looks ahead to May 24–25 for its next round at Thailand’s Buriram International Circuit. [...]

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:

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.
