Analysis

The key early victory that could challenge UK junior racing's hegemony

The decision to allow 15-year-olds to race in MSV's new low-cost GB4 championship in 2022 poses a challenge to the position of British F4 - previously the only UK-based series where drivers below the age of 16 could compete. Whether the two can co-exist is the next pertinent question...

Last week’s decision by Motorsport UK to grant approval for the GB4 Championship to go ahead next season didn’t come as much of a surprise – why should it?

The new-for-2022 series is being run by MotorSport Vision, no stranger when it comes to operating successful single-seater categories, while the Tatuus F4-T014 chassis may be a bit long in the tooth, but it’s a proven entity. And that’s before delving into the finances, which promise to make it a much-needed entry-level single-seater series for those with grand aspirations without huge budgets.
