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.

“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.

The First Korus Values Day Hosted at Tatuus HQ
For the first time, representatives from across the Korus companies came together for a day dedicated to the Group’s shared values.
A day of networking and shared culture marked the first true moment of connection and interaction among employees from all Korus companies . The Korus Values Day took place on Tuesday, March 3, at the Tatuus HQ.
More than 60 employees attended, representing Tatuus, ATM, Breda Racing, YCOM, Next Solution Technologies, Birelart, Kart Republic and IAME .

Among the distinctive characteristics of the Group, the CEO underlined its customer-centric approach:“A shared trait across all our companies, a true added value and winning factor, reflected in our practical ability to solve problems with openness and a spirit of service, both toward our end customers and toward our colleagues .” He also emphasised the Group’s “unique capability to create projects from scratch, transforming a blank sheet of paper into a finished product through coordinated, collective efforts across multiple companies .”
Another key pillar of the Korus culture is its focus on employee well-being :
“We place great importance on ensuring that every talent can thrive in the best possible environment and with the best tools, while also nurturing the values and personal relationships outside professional life that contribute to happiness and positively influence our approach to work. ”
Throughout the day, employees from the eight companies took part in workshops and discussion sessions alongside Group management, exploring the practical meaning of Korus’ three core values and reflecting on how they permeate daily operations across different business areas and roles, all equally represented during the event.
The Tatuus HQ showroom provided the ideal setting for a business lunch, with tables arranged among the Group’s cars and products. The focus then shifted to karting, a sector that, from 2025 onward, uniquely characterises the Korus Group. An in-depth session explored the distinctive features of the karting world and the “Korus Kart ” companies, before the day concluded with a special hands-on experience aboard Birel karts.
The first edition of the Korus Values Day once again demonstrated the strong team spirit that defines the Korus Group , as well as the uniqueness of eight elite Italian motorsport companies united by a shared vision and passion, a commitment that takes them to racetracks around the world every single day .
