5 the other hand, we want to help make the races more spectacular, both for drivers and the public." Let's not forget that the T‐318 chassis is also used by the W Series, which is a great showcase, supporting Formula 1, the Toyota Racing Series, now ready to restart in New Zealand, and the Ultimate Cup in France. "These are very different contexts in many respects. For example, the W Series is a centralized championship while elsewhere there are competing teams, or different powertrains and tires. In any case, all the championships are in stellar health. I am also pleased by the collaboration between the W Series and Toyota Racing Series, which, waiting to restart again after the limitations due to the pandemic, has made its fleet available for W Series in Barcelona and will do the same for Suzuka. Even with different engines, gearboxes, electronics, and service personnel, the driver talent has always emerged. This is an indication that our car always performs in line with expectations. We are proud of that." Let's open the British chapter starting with GB3, run by a longtime partner like Jonathan Palmer's MSV, which features an updated car. "Palmer is a historical and future partner for us, as we are already thinking about new possibilities, new cars and upgrades. He wanted a car that combined performance and the latest safety standards. The chassis now allows the integration of Halo and all the safety components required by the FIA. In addition, MSV invested in the creation of the GB4 championship, featuring the first‐generation Formula 4 cars, to give an extra opportunity to young drivers with small budgets, but also to gentleman drivers who want to approach single‐seaters." running, and in the UK there is growth over previous editions. That confirms the skill levels of the federations and promoters involved, as well as the validity of the product we offer." Can we say that the value of this new Formula 4 offsets the challenges that exist outside motorsport? "For sure the base has proven successful, although we want to make refinements. However, we also have to credit those who work with Tatuus. First of all, federations and promoters provide formats that allow all cars to be at the start, then teams of all dimensions that sell solid programs for the season, and drivers that compete safely. Then, there is the technical assistance we provide on track, including Autotecnica for the engines, and partner companies such as Andreani Group and TM Performance. We must not forget the network of suppliers that helped us to launch a car that gives no reliability worries. As I always say, we prefer to sacrifice a little profit on the car in favor of a quality product that can be a winner for everyone." Having entered its second technical cycle, the F4 movement is still in excellent health. Now more than ever. "Once again, it has to be reiterated how brilliant was from FIA to create this category as the first approach from karting looking forward to the transition to higher‐grade categories." Formula Regional, on the other hand, is now a mature package and is experiencing a brilliant moment between Europe and Asia. "We recorded consistently full grids as well despite it is the fifth year since the inception of this car. It is no coincidence that we are already proposing to the promoters an upgrade kit for 2023, which has a double purpose. On one hand, we want to anticipate the next generation, and on
