Ronco Scrivia (Genova, Italy), April 8th, 2026 – Racing Force Group, the global leader in motorsport safety equipment, is proud to announce a multi-year partnership between its Bell Racing brand and the Wera Tools British F4 Championship certified by FIA, a benchmark series for young drivers transitioning from karting to single-seater racing.
Since 1954, Bell Racing has been a worldwide reference for auto-racing helmets, and will now support the stars of tomorrow competing in the British F4 through the introduction of the “Bell Overtake Award”. At the end of each race weekend, the driver achieving the highest number of overtakes will receive a large-size trolley from Bell’s official luggage line – ideal for travelling from one circuit to another. The driver with the most overtakes across the entire season will be awarded a top-of-the-range HP77 helmet, certified to the stringent FIA 8860-2018 ABP standard and homologated for use in the higher steps of the single-seater ladder on the road to Formula 1, now integrating the SmartLock™ visor locking mechanism.
In addition, all drivers registered from the opening round will receive a Bell Racing-branded backpack, while the British F4 championship staff working in the paddock will also be equipped with a medium-size trolley for their travel needs.
The 2026 Wera Tools British F4 Championship certified by FIA will feature ten rounds, starting at Donington Park on April 18-19, and continuing across renowned circuits including Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Silverstone, Zandvoort, Thruxton, and Croft.
Established in 2015, the British F4 has been a crucial stepping stone for several drivers who have reached the highest levels of motorsport – among them Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, both currently racing in Formula 1 with Bell Racing helmets. Fionn McLaughlin also wore a Bell Racing helmet during his successful run to the 2025 title.
