From Karting to the Tatuus F4-T421: Lowette’s technical challenge in the new era of TC Racing.

The arrival of Beau Lowette is not merely a strategic branding move for Thibaut Courtois' team; it is a true engineering challenge. After excelling in European karting, Lowette must now adapt to the Tatuus Gen2 chassis, a single-seater that has redefined safety standards with the implementation of the Halo and a reinforced survival cell capable of withstanding up to 25 tons of lateral impact.

From a dynamic perspective, the Belgian driver will have to master the engine mapping of the Abarth 1.4 Turbo (180 hp) powerplant and the high sensitivity of the Sadev sequential gearbox. All of this comes in his rookie year within the category.

The choice of Beau Lowette is proof that TC Racing has transitioned from an emerging project into a high-performance academy. By securing the young Belgian for the upcoming campaign, the team reaffirms its commitment to a comprehensive driver development process: from talent scouting to technical trackside management.

This addition is an essential element for a project aspiring to mechanical stability and consistent competitiveness. With Lowette, the team gains more than just raw speed; it establishes a development foundation to build its progression toward higher categories.

However, this move is just the tip of the iceberg of a much deeper expansion plan. The 2026 season marks a turning point for the structure led by Thibaut Courtois. It is not just about competing in the F4 Spanish Championship, but about consolidating a full 'promotion ladder.' With the recent creation of the TC Junior Team in karting and the strategic leap to Eurocup-3, the team is designing an ecosystem where engineers and drivers can evolve organically.

An impressive track record for such a young age

Beau Lowette does not land in F4 by chance; he is backed by a track record that places him among the elite of European karting. His Rotax World vice-championship (Bahrain 2023), achieved in a field of over 60 nations, demonstrates exceptional stress management and race-reading abilities.

Added to this is his dominance in the Benelux region, including titles such as the Benefit League and vice-championships in both the BNL and the Belgian National Championship. For a team like TC Racing, these credentials guarantee that Lowette possesses the mechanical foundation and maturity required to interpret F4 telemetry and optimize the set-up from the very first test sessions.
