As one chapter in Formula 2’s history closes, with the retirement of its 2018 car, another begins in 2024 with the introduction of its new model. The new Dallara-built F2 2024, which will be raced for at least the next three seasons, features the latest FIA safety innovations, and aspires to be as close as possible to the latest Formula 1 machinery to help prepare young drivers for the final step on the single-seater ladder.
The radically redesigned car, unveiled over the Italian Grand Prix weekend at Monza in September, has several features that move it more towards F1’s current generation. It features ground effects and similar wing concepts, with a rear wing not dissimilar from that used in Japan’s Super Formula championship, for which Dallara is also the constructor. Powered by a 3.4-litre turbocharged Mecachrome engine, it will continue to run on Aramco 55% bio-sourced sustainable fuel for 2024 before moving to synthetic sustainable fuel in 2025.
