LN4 Fusion announces that the team will compete in the British Formula 4 Championship from the 2027 season.
After launching its multi-championship programme in early September, the team has acquired a majority stake in Chris Dittmann Racing and secured entries to field four cars in the Wera Tools British F4 Championship, certified by FIA from the 2027 season.
In addition, Chris Dittmann will become Team Principal of the operation, which has already begun testing and will ramp up preparations for the upcoming season.
Using the same car, engine and tyre specifications as the Italian F4 Championship, the 2027 series will feature a 10-round calendar, which includes an overseas round, with a trip to Spa Francorchamps to support Formula 1 at the Belgian Grand Prix. The Championship kicks off on 10–11 April at Donington Park.
Dan Richards – Chief Executive Officer, LN4 Fusion
“Adding the F4 British Championship to our programme is an important step for LN4 Fusion. It is one of the most competitive Formula 4 series in the world and has a proven track record of developing future stars, so it was a natural place for us to be.
“Chris Dittmann brings years of experience and success in British motorsport, and with Chris leading the operation, we are confident we can make a strong start.
“We would like to thank the British F4 Championship and Motorsport UK for supporting us throughout the process, and we are looking forward to the start of the season.”
Dan Hazlewood – Managing Director UK Operations, LN4 Fusion
“Bringing this project together has been a real team effort, and I’m proud to see LN4 Fusion on the grid in British F4 from 2027. The UK is the heart of motorsport, and this championship is where so many careers take off.
“With Chris and his team on board, we have the experience and the structure to compete at the front, and everyone is working hard to be ready for Donington.”
Chris Dittmann – Team Principal British F4, LN4 Fusion
“I’m hugely excited to be joining forces with LN4 Fusion and continuing as Team Principal in British F4. As an ex-racer myself, I have always worked with a race-winning mentality and that aligns perfectly with LN4 Fusion’s ambitions. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity and their trust in me.
“I’ve had many years of success in Motorsport, but the time was right to take things to the next level. Bringing together my experience along with the support of the entire LN4 Fusion operation is going to create a formidable package. Our goal is to win from the outset, so we’ll be working tirelessly over the winter to achieve that. I can’t wait to get started!”
