He's been the driver to beat in BritishF4 so far this year as he follows in his father’s racing footsteps. 🏎 That's despite alexdunneracing's participation only being confirmed days beforehand. sdlickorish explains his journey so far. ⬇️
Alex Dunne certainly knows how to make an impact. The Irishman has impressed ever since he swapped karts for cars at the start of last year, brilliantly taking pole for his very first race in Spanish Formula 4 at Spa. And that continued when Dunne progressed into British F4 this season, securing two wins and a second at the Donington Park opener despite his participation only being officially confirmed days beforehand.
Getting behind the wheel of a kart for the first time confirmed that he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, and Dunne has not looked back. But things did not go quite as planned after that promising Spanish F4 debut in 2021. He failed to score another podium over the first three events, split with Pinnacle Motorsport and was forced onto the sidelines.
“You have more horsepower and a halo so the centre of gravity is a lot different,” he explains. “It’s a much heavier car and the driving style is quite different.” He is also third in the Italian standings, the only driver not from the all-conquering Prema squad in the top five. But there is a clash between the Brands Hatch British finale and the penultimate Italian round at Monza, with Dunne saying he will decide which one to prioritise nearer the time.
“The way he goes through data and feedback and the way he listens with the engineers, I’m very impressed by that,” he says.
