GB4 champion Bansal secures Italian F4 seat in 2026

22 December 2025

Reigning GB4 champion Ary Bansal will compete in the Italian F4 Championship in 2026, as well as two other F4 categories during the year.

The 16-year-old Indian has signed for US Racing, a squad he raced with at times in 2025, as he ventured into European competition when his GB4 commitments allowed.

Bansal was crowned GB4 champion at Donington Park after a superb campaign that featured four wins, including a crucial triumph during the season final weekend.

As well as his GB4 title, Bansal also won the British F4 Challenge Cup this year, and made entries into Italian F4 and the Euro 4 categories.

He will now race in the full campaigns for both series, while also taking part in the Formula Winter Series at the start of the year.

Gerhard Ungar – Team Manager, US Racing: “I am very happy that Ary will continue racing with US Racing in 2026 for a full F4 campaign across FWS, E4 and Italian F4. Ary is a very talented race driver with big potential. He has improved and developed a lot over the last year, and I am sure he will have a strong season in 2026.”

Ary Bansal: “I am looking forward to hitting the ground running with US Racing in 2026. The momentum from last season gives us a strong platform to build on as we head into a full European campaign. Together, our aim is to maximise the package across each round and push hard to fight at the front consistently.”
