The curtain will be raised on this season of the Italian F.4 Championship powered by Abarth at the Temple of Speed, the legendary Monza circuit. A total of 35 Tatuus cars powered by the Abarth T-Jet engine will battle it out at one of the most historic venues in motorsport. The Abarth power unit, which according to F.4 regulations delivers 160 horsepower, is the same that powers the brand's production models, the 595 and 695 series, with power outputs ranging from 145 to 180 horsepower. This year was one of the most successful in the event, with an average of 32 entries per race. Among them is the Greek Tzortzis Markogiannis, who races in the colours of CRAM Motorsport, impressing with his maturity despite his young age.
The battle for the title may have already been decided by the previous race, where Oliver Bearman (GBR - Van Amersfoort Racing) was crowned the 2021 Champion, but in Monza a tough battle will be fought for 2nd place.η Tim Tramnitz (GER - US Racing) and Leonardo Fornaroli (ITA - Iron Lynx). On the other hand, all is open in the rookie drivers' standings, where Nikita Bedrin (RUS - Van Amersfoort Racing) maintains a gap of just 14 points from Conrad Laursen (DEN - Prema Powerteam) and 25 points from Lorenzo Patrese (ITA - AKM Motorsport), son of the former Formula 1 driver. The Italian championship has a close relationship with the pinnacle of motorsport, having been the starting point for drivers such as Lance Stroll and Mick Schumacher, among others.
The schedule for the final round of the Italian F.4 Championship powered by Abarth is quite full, with testing on Thursday and Friday 28 and 29 October, while on Friday afternoon the qualifying sessions will take place. The first two races are scheduled for Saturday 30 October at 12:30 and 18:20 GMT, while on Sunday 31 October, at 11:05, the green lights will come on for the last time this year on the grid.
