From Great Britain to Spain, from Australia to the Netherlands, another race weekend brought 89 Tatuus cars to the track, delivering victories, new championship dynamics and increasingly close battles across the series featuring Tatuus single-seaters.




The weekend just concluded brought new developments across the main F4 championships, with British F4, Spanish F4 and the AU4 Championship racing across Europe and Australia, alongside F1 ACADEMY at Zandvoort. Between new winners, decisive results and reduced gaps in the standings, the events at Donington Park, Jarama, The Bend and Zandvoort added new elements to the race for the season titles. On track, Tatuus single-seaters continued to be protagonists throughout a weekend that once again highlighted the balance and competitiveness of the junior single-seater categories. Between new winners, close battles and changes at the top, the weekend added further twists to the race for the season titles.




F1 ACADEMY

Weekend Preview: Tatuus Single-Seaters in Action Across Four Championships Between Australia and Europe
F1 Academy, British F4, Spanish F4 and AU4 take to the track in a weekend packed with excitement
The unmistakable roar of the ATM-Abarth-powered Tatuus T-421 will be the common theme throughout a new exciting weekend, as both the standard and F1 Academy-spec versions take to the track in a busy schedule stretching from Australia to Europe.

F1 Academy The end of Formula 1's summer break also marks the return of F1 Academy, which visits Zandvoort for the fourth consecutive year. The Dutch venue remains the only circuit to have featured on the calendar every season since the championship was founded.
The series resumes exactly at its halfway point, with seven races already completed and seven still to come. Current championship leader Alisha Palmowski (Campos Racing, racing in Red Bull colours) will look to maintain her advantage over Emma Felbermayr (Rodin Motorsport, racing in Audi colours) and Nina Gademan (MP Motorsport, racing in Alpine colours) . The Alpine-backed Dutch driver is set to enjoy her home event alongside fellow Dutch competitor Esmee Kosterman , with both having already raced at Zandvoort in 2025 and delivered strong performances, including Gademan's victory in Race 1.
The weekend schedule begins with free practice on Friday (2:00 pm local time), followed on Saturday by qualifying (9:20 am local time) and the reverse-grid Race 1 (2:35 pm local time). The event will conclude with Race 2 on Sunday at 10:30 am.
Qualifying and both races will be streamed live on the series' YouTube channel , while all sessions will also be available through the series' official broadcasting partners.

British F4 With four rounds remaining in the 2026 British F4 Championship, the decisive phase of the season gets underway at Donington Park . Dries Van Langendonck (Rodin Motorsport, racing in McLaren colours) will aim to regain the momentum that has already brought him four wins and three additional podium finishes this season. Chasing him in the standings are Lewis Wherrell (JHR Developments) and Theo Palmer (Hitech) , trailing by 41 and 48.5 points respectively.
The weekend opens with Friday's practice sessions, before official action starts on Saturday with qualifying (9:40 am local time) and Race 1 (3:35 pm local time).
The programme concludes on Sunday with two races scheduled for 10:20 am and 3:25 pm local time.

Weekend Debrief: An Action-Packed Weekend at Snetterton and Markham
Weekend Debrief: An Action-Packed Weekend at Snetterton and Markham
Overtakes, battles and incidents defined an exciting weekend for the GB4 and USF Pro Championships.
It was a busy and eventful weekend for the 65 Tatuus single-seaters competing at Snetterton (GB4) and Markham (USF Pro 2000 and USF2000) . The Canadian venue made its debut on the IndyCar Series and USF Pro Championships calendar, replacing the historic Toronto street circuit, and delivered plenty of action and unexpected twists.

GB4 It was an almost perfect weekend for Alex O'Grady (KMR Sport) , who extended his championship lead with two victories. In Race 1, the Irishman capitalized on the retirement of pole-sitter and closest rival Fred Green (Elite Motorsport) to secure the win. O'Grady then repeated the feat in Race 2 thanks to a flawless start.
The third race of the weekend, traditionally run with a reversed grid, also marked the 100th race in GB4 Championship history and provided no shortage of drama. Multiple incidents and race interruptions culminated in a red flag that brought proceedings to an early end, handing Josh McLean (Pace Performance) his third victory of the season ahead of Enzo Hallman (Hillspeed) and Emmilio Valentino Del Grosso (Elite Motorsport) .
O'Grady therefore strengthens his championship advantage to 70 points over Green and 80 over Dayton Coulthard. The GB4 Championship will next head to the historic Donington Park circuit on September 5-6.

USF Pro Championships Markham's inaugural race weekend began with an organizational setback that forced all categories to cancel their Friday track sessions, allowing the completion of several safety-related operations around the circuit.
As a result, the weekend schedule was significantly revised. The two Road to Indy series involved were forced to reduce their race mileage and, most notably, abandon qualifying sessions altogether. Starting grids were therefore determined by the championship standings for Race 1 and by the fastest lap times recorded in Race 1 for Race 2.
Once the first green flag waved, however, the circuit proved its worth, delivering plenty of excitement and entertainment.
USF Pro 2000 The headline story in the premier USF Pro Championships category was the absence of Leonardo Escorpioni (Turn 3 Motorsport) . The championship leader coming into the round was unable to travel to Canada, opening the door for his closest challenger, Jack Jeffers (Exclusive Autosport) , to take advantage. A victory in Race 1 followed by a second-place finish allowed Jeffers to move to the top of the standings.
Race 2 victory went to Andres Cardenas (Jay Howard Driver Development) , who secured the first USF Pro 2000 win of his career in North America after already claiming five podium finishes this season. G3 Argyros (Pabst Racing) and Thomas Schrage (TJ Speed) also celebrated podium finishes over the course of the weekend.
The USF Pro 2000 field will now enjoy a single weekend break before returning on August 29-30 for the season's second oval event at the Milwaukee Mile.
USF 2000 USF2000 produced the most dramatic races of the weekend, with numerous contacts and incidents, some of which had a significant impact on the championship battle.
The first chaotic moment in Race 1 involved Eddie Beswick (Pabst Racing) , who arrived in Canada third in the championship standings and therefore started near the front of the grid. After contact with Joao Vergara (VRD Racing) , Beswick dropped to the back of the field but mounted an impressive recovery to finish seventh. The victory in the opening race of the weekend went to championship leader Sebastian Garzon (DEForce Racing) , ahead of his closest challenger Brad Majman (Pabst Racing) .
Majman then struck back in Race 2, claiming victory and gaining valuable points in the standings. The race proved even more difficult and chaotic than the first, with numerous incidents throughout the field, including one involving Garzon.
With just one round remaining, the championship is set for a thrilling finale. Garzon continues to lead the standings with 338 points, while Majman is close behind on 325. Their decisive showdown will take place on September 24 at Road America. [...]

“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.

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 .
