About the Car
Tatuus MSV CB4-025
The car, which has raced in GB3 as the Tatuus MSV-022 since 2022, will be a significant upgrade on the F4-T014 package currently used in GB4, introducing key safety features such as the halo into the championship for the first time.
Modified to become an entry-level machine, the Tatuus MSV GB4-025 chassis will retain all the updated safety features utilised in the current GB3 specification, including stronger side-impact and rollover protection qualities.
A lower downforce single-plane front and rear wing setup with a shortened diffuser will be introduced. In another visual change to the current GB3 model, the conventional overhead airbox will remain a feature in GB4, with a new engine cover to be produced as a result.
The aerodynamic performance will be improved over the current GB4 car.
Race Weekend Format
Each GB4 Championship race weekend includes a 15-minute qualifying session and three 18-minute races. The grid for the first two races is determined in qualifying, with each driver’s quickest lap forming the race one grid, and their second quickest laps establishing the starting order for race two.
The third race will be a full grid reversal with extra points awarded for positions gained as well as for each driver’s finishing position. All scores count towards a driver’s end-of-championship position.
- Thursday: 4 practice sessions
- Friday: 3 practice sessions
- Saturday: 15 minute qualifying & 18 minute race
- Sunday: 2 x 18 minute races
