Preparations for the 2026 Wera Tools F4 British Championship certified by FIA are on the home straight. While drivers have been racking up crucial pre-season mileage, the championship’s high-profile partners have been working just as hard behind the scenes with the British F4 team to help set the stage for what promises to be a record-breaking campaign.
As the UK’s premier single-seater series, British F4 continues to align itself with an impressive roster of global brands, all benefiting from unrivalled exposure across race weekends, digital platforms, and free-to-air television.
Organised by governing body Motorsport UK, the championship is primed to deliver edge-of-your-seat action from lights out to the chequered flag at the season finale
Wera Tools returns as headline sponsor for a second consecutive season, reinforcing its commitment to the series and helping to develop young racing talent. The internationally renowned hand tool manufacturer will once again headline the British F4 Technical Centre and present the coveted Wera Tools Technicians’ Award at every round – celebrating the unsung heroes working tirelessly in the paddock.
On track, the championship’s competitive integrity remains second to none. With chassis supplied by Tatuus, equalised Autotecnica engines and tyres from Pirelli, British F4 continues to provide a true level playing field – supporting Motorsport UK’s pathway for aspiring drivers on their journey toward Formula 1.
Sustainability remains a core focus for the series too. In partnership with ETS Racing Fuels, all cars will once again run on Hiperflo® R20 fuel in 2026, delivering up to an 18% reduction in emissions compared to standard pump fuel—proof that performance and responsibility can go hand in hand.
Adding further prestige to the ever-growing series, iconic British manufacturer Lotus will build on its partnership with the championship. The stunning Lotus Emira Turbo will continue to lead the field as the official Safety Car, bringing both style and authority to every race weekend.
Safety continues to be a cornerstone of the championship, with valued partners Safety Rocks playing a key role in reshaping perceptions around health and safety. As tomorrow’s stars battle wheel-to-wheel, the importance of risk awareness and management is embedded early—both on and off the track with teams in the British F4 paddock.
New for 2026, Bell Helmets joins the British F4 family, adding an extra layer of excitement. The driver who completes the most overtakes across the season will be rewarded with a top-of-the-range HP77 helmet—certified to FIA 8860-2018 ABP standards and designed for the upper echelons of motorsport –perfect for the driver aiming to climb the single-seater ladder.
Also joining the grid is Marsh Sport, providing specialist insurance broking and risk management advice to licensed competitors throughout the season.
