The Dallara F2 2024 is one of the Dallara entries the open record knows by name, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable. Pierre-Alain Michot drew it.
How it came about
The Dallara F2 2024 is an open-wheel racing car developed by Italian manufacturer Dallara for use in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, a feeder-series for Formula One. The F2 2024 is the third car used by the FIA Formula 2 Championship and was introduced for the 2024 season as a replacement for the Dallara F2 2018. As Formula 2 is a spec series, the F2 2024 is used by all teams and drivers. According to Dallara, the chassis is intended for use until 2029.
The hardware
620 hp @ 8,750 rpm, 583 Nm torque is the published figure. It weighs 795 kg including driver and fuel. Work it out per tonne and you get about 780 horsepower — hypercar territory, where the limiting factor is the tyre, not the engine. The wheelbase is 3135 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Dallara F2 2018. Its Dallara stablemates include the Dallara 320 and the Dallara F191.
