The time has come: the MSV-GB3-025 is ready for its debut!
The wait is finally over: the GB3 Championship and the all-new MSV-GB3-025 are ready to hit the track!
From the moment the first sketches of the MSV-GB3-025 were drawn, the countdown began. A process that evolved through multiple project stages, accelerating with excitement in October 2024 when the very first car rolled out of the Tatuus HQ. From then on, the wait took on a new form — a countdown to the first official sessions, marked by test days, driver announcements, and livery reveals. Now, just a few steps remain before the anticipation gives way to the thrill of the first qualifying session and the season’s opening three races.
Silverstone will serve as the perfect stage for the new model’s debut this weekend, featuring 25 cars on the grid, a roster of top-tier talent, and many new highlights for the series.
A new DRS challenge The opening races of the new car will also mark a historic first : the competitive debut of Drag Reduction System (DRS) on a Tatuus single-seater.
During qualifying, drivers will be allowed unlimited DRS use within the permitted zones. In races, however, DRS activation will be restricted to instances when the gap to the car ahead is less than one second, as measured at specific detection points. At Silverstone, those detection zones will be placed at Maggotts and Village, activating DRS on the Hangar and Wellington straights respectively.
10 teams, plenty of talent Two new teams join an already elite paddock, forming a highly competitive grid set to battle it out on some of Europe’s most iconic circuits.

New Tatuus T-326 Unveiled: The Second-Generation Formula Regional Car
As part of the announcement of the 2026 Formula Regional Middle East Championship, the Lainate-based manufacturer and promoter Top Speed have revealed the first images of the new car.
The announcement of the 2026 edition of the Formula Regional Middle East Championship provided the perfect opportunity for a major new launch by Tatuus and ATM-Autotecnica Motori. The championship, promoted and organized by Top Speed, has established itself over the years as a key early-season event for drivers from all over the world. Now, it has confirmed that starting from next year and following the FIA validation and homologation process, it will adopt the new Tatuus T-326, the second-generation Formula Regional car, equipped with a specially adapted and prepared Toyota 3-cylinder engine by ATM .
The T-326 represents a natural evolution of the T-318 model, the Tatuus single-seater that first defined the majority of Formula Regional championships worldwide. The category was introduced alongside the car in 2018 as an intermediate step between Formula 4 and international Formula 3. With its homologation cycle and transitional period coming to an end, the T-318 is set to pass the baton to a new generation of cars at the conclusion of the current season. These new models will feature enhanced performance, higher safety standards, and technical solutions designed to improve and refine the driving experience , ultimately aiding young drivers in their journey up the single-seater pyramid.
Aerodynamics & Performance The car features a completely redesigned aerodynamic profile, shaped by the new FIA technical regulations for the category and inspired by the latest trends from the highest levels of Formula racing. The result is an overall performance boost, improved aerodynamic efficiency, and a reduction in wake effect, facilitating better overtaking conditions .
Engine, Technical and Mechanical solutions As mentioned, the car will be powered by the new Toyota-ATM 1.6-liter three-cylinder engin e, delivering 270 HP and 360 Nm of torque.
From a technical and mechanical standpoint, the T-326 introduces innovative and effective solutions aimed at improving drivability, enhancing the driver’s experience, and increasing the car’s educational value within the category . Key advancements include weight reduction, an optimized steering rack, and a revised suspension setup that provides a greater sense of lightness and ease of handling.
Safety & Driver Comfort Safety has always been a cornerstone of every Tatuus project, and this car is no exception . The chassis has been developed in accordance with the new FIA technical regulations to further enhance crash resistance. Additionally, key components such as the front and rear crash boxes, anti-intrusion panels, and roll bar have been updated to meet the latest safety standards.
Beyond safety, the cockpit has been designed to maximize driver comfort and ergonomics, accommodating both men and women across a wider height range, ensuring optimal conditions for competing on track .
The Formula Regional Middle East Championship is the first series to confirm the adoption of the new car, which now sets to undergo the FIA validation process before being fully unveiled in 2025. This marks another milestone in the longstanding collaboration between Top Speed and Tatuus, now in its 20th year.
First miles for the new Tatuus MSV-GB3-025
After its presentation, the new Tatuus MSV-GB3-025 completed its first laps on the track.
While the presentation showcased its pure carbon fiber structure to the world, the first laps on the track provided the opportunity to see the first livery applied to the new Tatuus MSV-GB3-025 .
On the “La Pista” circuit, located just a few steps from the Tatuus HQ on the border between Lainate and Arese, where the historic Alfa Romeo test track once stood, the new single-seater completed 25 shakedown laps , entrusted to Lorenzo Colombo. This first outing marks the start of an intense testing phase that will continue throughout the final months of 2024, taking place on the circuits of Vallelunga, Cremona, Vairano, and Navarra.
“It was wonderful to get into the cockpit today," said driver Lorenzo Colombo after the track session . "I'm sure this car will be perfect for developing young drivers who will have the chance to race it, and I can’t wait for the upcoming test sessions.”
Unveiling the new Tatuus, Autotecnica Motori, and Breda Racing logos
The three companies announced their new crests on December 18, 19, and 20, 2024, as part of their ongoing growth process and positioning within the motorsport landscape.
On December 18, 2024, Breda Racing kicked off a three-day series of special announcements , followed by Autotecnica Motori and Tatuus Racing. The three companies, along with YCOM, are part of a single Group, and chose the holiday season to unveil their new logos to the motorsport world, marking a tangible symbol of the extensive growth and positioning process that has been underway for several years.
Tatuus Racing underwent a restyling that preserves and enhances iconic elements such as the letter T and the maple leaf, adding racing-inspired lettering and logo elements. The blue and green colors remain a distinctive mark of the brand, brightened to better serve all digital platforms.
Autotecnica Motori one is a proper rebranding, while still retaining iconic elements of its tradition such as the red, white, and black colors, as well as the historic AM monogram, now placed inside a composition of red and black crescents. The brand itself is fully renewed, becoming “ATM ” — the acronym that has long been used in paddocks around the world to identify the Casalmaggiore-based company. The legal name “Autotecnica Motori” remains, replacing the previous payoff. Similar to Tatuus' logo, the letters A, T, and M in the new lettering are "cut," symbolizing the union of the two founding companies of the Group in 2017.
Breda Racing brand evolution is a blend of tradition and innovation. The initials BR remain largely unchanged but are placed within a pattern of crescents similar to the ATM design. The lettering and logo remain the same, while the payoff has been simplified.
This marks the beginning of a new era for the three companies, with the immediate update of all digital identity elements, alongside the first physical branding items. This initial step marks the start of a period of coexistence and transition between the old and new logos, which will allow for the full update of all company assets by June 2025.
“This is a crucial moment in the history of the three companies that, between 2017 and 2018, were the first to shape our Group,” said CEO Giovanni Delfino . “From that initial union, a wonderful growth journey began, which has already enabled us to achieve significant results and global coverage, deserving of a visual identity that reflects its stature. A new path begins today for our brands and the story of the values connected to them, marked by the union of tradition and innovation that has always defined us, and we are confident this will allow us to achieve even more ambitious goals on and off the track.”

New Tatuus MSV-GB3-025 unveiled
The first unit of the car, announced by Tatuus and MSV in June 2024, has come to life at the Tatuus HQ in Lainate.
The first MSV-GB3-025 has rolled off the stands at Tatuus’ production facility, marking the completion of its design and manufacturing phase, which took place throughout the spring and summer. During this period, Tatuus and MSV had already shared the first renders of the car with the public.
With the production of the first unit, both companies have now released the first images of the fully assembled car. No longer limited to digital renderings, the MSV-GB3-025 can now be seen in every detail—from the carbon fiber weave to the contours of the front and rear wings, as well as the floor and DRS. The result is a unique design that harmonizes the latest technical and regulatory trends in formula racing with iconic elements of tradition.
The MSV-GB3-025 is the first Tatuus car ever to be equipped with both DRS and Rim Covers—key elements of its cutting-edge aerodynamic package, setting a new benchmark in its category. These technical choices have been defined by Tatuus and MSV to meet the objectives of the GB3 Championship.
Alongside its aerodynamic advancements, the car features numerous innovative technical solutions, making it a significant evolutionary step forward from the Tatuus MSV-022—a car highly appreciated by drivers and a defining presence in the championship over the past three seasons. Key improvements include new, wider-section tires (with Pirelli remaining the exclusive supplier for the GB3 Championship) and the new naturally aspirated 2.0L Mountune engine, delivering 280 horsepower. Additionally, safety has been further enhanced with new front and rear crash boxes, improved anti-intrusion panels, and a titanium Halo.
The new single-seater will take center stage in the GB3 Championship, which has already announced its 2025 calendar. The season will kick off at Silverstone on April 25-27, 2025, and conclude at Monza on October 17-19. However, preparation for the debut season of the new car will first go through an intensive autumn testing phase, which has already begun and will involve extensive work by both Tatuus and MSV.
