What is the Tatuus F4-T421?

The Tatuus F4-T421 is an open-wheel race car designed specifically for the FIA Formula 4 category. As a developmental car, the F4-T421 strikes the perfect balance between performance, safety and learning opportunities, making it as essential part of our development programmes.

Key Features of the Tatuus F4-T421

‍

Aerodynamics:

The Tatuus F4-T421 is equipped with a highly efficient aerodynamic package that helps drivers understand the dynamics of downforce. It features a large front and rear wing, along with carefully designed diffusers that optimise airflow around the car. This allows the car to achieve greater stability, especially when cornering at high speeds.

‍

For drivers, understanding aerodynamics is crucial in developing the skills needed for more advanced racing series. The F4-T421 provides a valuable learning opportunity, teaching drivers how to utilise downforce effectively and adapt to changing track conditions.

Engine: The Abarth 1.4L Turbocharged Engine

Under the hood of the Tatuus F4-T421 lies an Abarth 1.4L turbocharged engine with a 6-speed sequential gearbox, producing approximately 160 horsepower. The engine is designed to be powerful enough to give drivers a true feel of speed while still being manageable for those in the early stages of their open-wheel racing careers.

Safety Features: Built to Protect

Safety is at the forefront of motorsport, and the Tatuus F4-T421 is equipped with several advanced features to key drivers safe while they develop their skills. Some of the key safety elements include:

‍

·       The Halo Device: This is an integral part of the car’s safety system, providing protection to the driver’s head in case of an accident.

·       Safety Cell: The monocoque design is a strong, rigid structure that absorbs impact, ensuring driver safety.

·       FIA-Approved Safety Gear: The Tatuus F4-T421 is fitted with all required FIA safety standards, including a fire suppression system, racing seat, and harnesses that provide secure support.
