The Car

Concept

The British F4 Championship uses the Tatuus T-421 chassis, powered by a 1.4 litre, turbocharged Abarth engine and was introduced as the latest generation of F4 car in 2022.

All cars run Pirelli control tyres and are performance-equalised by Neil Brown Engineering to ensure fairness across all cars, thus putting driver talent front and centre.

  • ⁠ ⁠Homologated car weight: 555kg (w/out driver and fuel)
  • ⁠ ⁠Wheelbase 2800 mm
  • ⁠ ⁠FIA defined Weight-to-Power ratio  3,6 kg/bhp
Engine and Gearbox
  • ⁠ ⁠Abarth ATM 414-F4 gen 2
  • ⁠ ⁠1370 cc turbocharged
  • ⁠ ⁠4 cylinders in line
  • ⁠ ⁠6300 rpm max rev
  • ⁠ ⁠270 Nm @ 4000rpm
  • ⁠ ⁠175bhp @ 5500 rpm (subject to car weight)
  • ⁠ ⁠140mm 2-disc sintered clutch
  • ⁠ ⁠Full stress dry-sump and chassis bracket designed by Autotecnica Motori

Survival Cell, Safety Cell & Safety Structures

The Halo-style cockpit protection device affords heightened cockpit safety and the car also benefits from strengthened anti-intrusion panels. Complemented with on-board in-car signalling and marshalling systems, the British F4 car can lay claim to being the safest of its kind worldwide.

 

Tyres

British F4 uses Pirelli P Zero racing slick tyres in line with the rest of the single-seater pathway, ensuring a relevant education for drivers before they graduate to other Pirelli-shod categories further up the ladder to Formula 1.
