The official ADAC F4 entry list for the forthcoming inaugural season has been revealed by the organizers.
15 teams with a total of 36 drivers and further three privateers have signed up for the German entry-level series.
Among the new additions to the grid is Ferrari junior Guanyu Zhou who will tackle ADAC F4 events alongside Prema teammate Ralf Aron in addition to an Italian F4 campaign.
Sportscar team HTP will be delving into single-seaters this year with a two-car line-up and Marvin Dienst as one of their drivers. The 2012 Formula BMW Talent Cup champion has been racing in ADAC Formel Masters in the past two seasons, ending up fifth and fourth respectively. His teammate is yet to be named by the team.
Mucke Motorsport added a fifth name to their ADAC F4 squad as Austrian karting star Thomas Preining will make his car racing debut in the series. Preining found a lot of success on the Rotax scene in the past, including the 2014 Junior Euro Challenge title and third in this year’s Senior Winter Cup.
The fourth driver of Jenzer Motorsport’s line-up is Swiss driver Ricardo Feller, while Luca Engstler, son of well-known touring car racing Franz, will also take part in the series in the family-run Engstler Motorsport team.
Lechner Racing, who have enjoyed a great return to single-seaters last year by dominating the Formula Renault 1.6 NEC, will move to ADAC F4 with two entries. One of their cars will be raced by Florian Janits, who will continue representing the team after taking third in FR1.6 NEC in his maiden racing campaign.
The second Lechner driver as well as a fourth Van Amersfoort Racing entrant are expected to be unveiled at a later date.
