Pirelli is the official tyre supplier to both the FIA FR World Cup and FIA F4 World Cup.
FIA Single-Seater Commission President Emanuele Pirro said: “Thanks to the work of the FIA Single-Seater Department and the Macau Grand Prix Organising Committee during an exhaustive selection process, the FIA FR World Cup and FIA F4 World Cup will both feature highly competitive grids formed by leading teams from across the globe. These teams not only continue to achieve considerable success at national and international level, they also operate to extremely high standards and reflect strong sporting values. We are still more than four months from the 73rd Macau Grand Prix week, but the expectations have been raised considerably with the confirmation of the competing teams.”
