What Tatuus does

Tatuus Racing S.p.A. is an Italian designer and manufacturer of single-seater racing cars for the FIA-sanctioned junior motorsport ladder. The company produces the T-326 Gen 2 Formula Regional platform, the T-421 Formula 4 platform (the world's most widely used F4 car with 500+ units built and adoption across 16 F4 championships), and the IP-20, USF-22, and JR-23 chassis for the USF Pro Championships ladder in North America. Cars are supplied as complete vehicles with engines from sister company Autotecnica Motori (ATM), components from Breda Racing, and electronics from Next Solution Technologies, reflecting full vertical integration inside the eight-company Korus Group.

Tatuus operates a B2B direct-sales model, selling complete single-seaters, spare parts, and on-site technical support to racing teams and championship organizers. Production volumes exceed 140 cars per year at the purpose-built Lainate HQ (commissioned 2023, capacity for 40 simultaneous assemblies), with cumulative F4 output approaching 800 units. Customers span more than 29 championships across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania, including the Formula Regional European Championship, F1 Academy, Italian/British F4, USF Pro, GB3, GB4, the Formula Regional Middle East Trophy, and the Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Trophy. Named team customers include MP Motorsport, Prema Racing, Campos Racing, Rodin Motorsport, R-ace GP, Pabst Racing, Exclusive Autosport, Mumbai Falcons, and Jenzer Motorsport.

The company is a subsidiary of Korus Group, an Italian motorsport conglomerate that grew from a €13-14 million standalone Tatuus operation in 2017 to €150 million consolidated revenue and 300+ employees in 2026 after acquiring ATM, Breda Racing, Next Solution Technologies, YCOM, and (in 2025) the karting brands Birelart, Kart Republic, and IAME. Private equity firm The Equity Club is the Group's institutional owner. Gianfranco De Bellis serves as President and Giovanni Delfino as CEO of both Tatuus and Korus Group. The Tatuus chassis has developed 20 of the 22 drivers on the current Formula 1 grid, providing a credential that anchors its position as the de facto junior single-seater supplier.
