FIA Formula 2 Unveils Evolved Car for 2027–2029 Seasons

Keeping the Dallara chassis, the car adds redesigned wings plus an on-board starter to improve racing, safety, driver preparation for Formula 1 and sustainability

Overview

  • The new F2 car was unveiled Saturday at Monza and will be used across the 2027–2029 seasons while retaining the 2026 Dallara chassis to limit costs.
  • Redesigned front and rear wings have been developed to reduce aerodynamic wake and help cars follow more closely, a change intended to produce tighter on-track racing.
  • Powertrain and systems continuity was confirmed with Mecachrome’s 3.4-litre turbo V6 engine running on Aramco sustainable fuel plus Marelli electronics and Pirelli tyres staying in place.
  • An on-board starter has been added via an evolution of Hewland’s gearbox so drivers can restart after stalls or spins, which should cut down race stoppages and ease team operations.
  • The car completed development testing at Barcelona and in wind tunnels and the FIA will deliver the first team kit in December 2026 with a second kit in January 2027; reports that the proposed LN4 Fusion entry would use the car remain unconfirmed.
