Hitech has confirmed 15-year-old German driver Amin Kara Osman for the 2027 Wera Tools F4 British Championship, certified by FIA. The Silverstone-based outfit, which secured the 2026 Teams’ Championship, has announced Kara Osman as the first driver in its four-car line-up for the upcoming season.
The German will make the move to British F4 following a successful karting career and his first experience in single-seaters during the 2026 Saudi Arabian F4 Championship. Having already completed an extensive testing programme with Hitech, Kara Osman will look to build on that experience during his first British F4 campaign.
Kara Osman progresses from karting to British F4
Born in Hamburg and based in Düsseldorf, Kara Osman began karting in 2021 before progressing through national and international competitions. In 2023, he secured victories across the Mini and Junior categories, including a win in the German Junior Kart Championship at Franciacorta.
He continued his development in 2024, finishing fifth in the German Junior Kart Championship despite competing in only four of the six rounds. The following year, he stepped up to the senior OK category and secured fifth overall in the WSK Euro Series.
His performances also earned him selection for the Motorsport Team Germany junior squad, which receives support from the ADAC Stiftung Sport. Additionally, he joined Haupt Racing Team’s karting programme before turning his attention towards single-seater racing in 2026.
Following an extensive Formula 4 testing programme with Hitech, Kara Osman made his competitive single-seater debut in the Saudi Arabian F4 Championship, where he demonstrated encouraging pace and consistency.
Looking ahead to 2027, Kara Osman expressed his enthusiasm about continuing his development with Hitech.
“I’m excited to race with Hitech in British F4. Successful testing and a solid start in Saudi Arabia have given me confidence for the next step. I’m looking forward to building on that progress with the team and pushing for strong results.”
Hitech aims to build on championship-winning 2026 campaign
Kara Osman joins Hitech as the team prepares to defend its British F4 Teams’ Championship. The outfit secured its second title in 2026, ending Rodin Motorsport’s two-year reign after a campaign characterised by consistent points finishes across its four-driver line-up.
Theo Palmer, Scott Kin Lindblom, Adam Al Azhari and Chiara Bättig contributed to Hitech’s success as the team finished 125.5 points ahead of Rodin Motorsport. Hitech also claimed the British F4 Drivers’ Championship in 2022 and 2024, further establishing its record of developing young single-seater talent.
Hitech British F4 Team Manager Dominic Stott welcomed Kara Osman’s arrival, highlighting the progress the German has already demonstrated during his preparations for the championship.
“We’re delighted to welcome Amin to our 2027 British F4 line-up. He has built a strong foundation through karting at both national and international level, and his early experience in Formula 4 has shown encouraging potential.
“We’ve worked with Amin throughout his testing programme and have been impressed with his approach and willingness to learn. British F4 is an important next step in his development, and we’re looking forward to supporting him as he takes on this new challenge.
“We’re proud of our record in British F4 and look forward to welcoming Amin into the team as we aim to build on that success next season.”
With his place on the 2027 grid confirmed, Kara Osman will now focus on preparing for his first British F4 season as Hitech looks to defend its Teams’ Championship.
