Twins Take on British F4: Cash and Roman Felber Join Fortec Motorsport for 2026

A transatlantic move with big hopes

American twins Cash and Roman Felber have announced they will race for Fortec Motorsport in the 2026 British F4 championship. The move shifts the brothers from U.S. junior single-seaters to one of Europe’s most watched junior series. For the drivers, it’s a chance to race on classic British circuits and measure themselves against a deeper field. For Fortec, signing the Felbers adds two hungry, developing drivers to a program that has a clear record of turning young talent into championship contenders.

The change matters beyond a new livery. British F4 has become a proving ground for drivers who want to climb the ladder in Europe. The Felbers’ decision to relocate to the UK signals a long-term push to be noticed by bigger teams and development programs. It’s a competitive, high-visibility next step, and how quickly they adapt will tell you a lot about their long-term prospects.

How the twins got here

Cash and Roman Felber grew up racing in the United States and have moved steadily through entry-level single-seaters. Both have shown steady improvement in recent seasons, with results that pointed to the need for a tougher test of speed and consistency. That push for faster competition helped drive the decision to switch continents.

The brothers have been training together since karting days and have a similar driving style shaped by the same coaching and environment. Even so, each has carved a slightly different path on track: one tends to be sharper over a single lap, the other more consistent across a race. That mix could be an asset at Fortec, where racecraft and set-up feedback are both prized.

Moving to the UK means new circuits, new tyre routines and denser competition. It also means living and working away from home — a non-racing challenge that often separates good juniors from great ones.

Fortec’s edge and why they signed the Felbers

Fortec Motorsport is a familiar name in British junior racing. The team runs full programs in national single-seater categories and has a history of getting drivers into higher levels of the sport. Fortec brings experienced engineers, robust testing programs and a stable race-team structure — everything young drivers need to develop fast.

For Fortec, signing the Felber twins fits a two-pronged goal: add drivers with room to grow, and gain value from a pair who come as a package — twice the data, twice the feedback, and a shared work ethic. From a sporting standpoint, Fortec will expect both drivers to learn quickly and aim for top finishes; from a commercial view, twins with a U.S. background can broaden the team’s appeal overseas.

What a competitive 2026 looks like for the Felbers

Realistic short-term goals for the Felbers are to score regular points, fight for podiums at their stronger tracks, and steadily close the gap to the front-runners. British F4 fields usually include a handful of highly experienced teams and several standout drivers; the twins will likely find themselves swapping laps with rival youngsters from established programs.

Key circuits to watch are the season’s classic stops — tracks where car setup and racecraft matter most. If the brothers can show pace in qualifying and maintain composure in mixed-weather races, they should be in the conversation for rookie-of-the-year honours and, before long, full podiums.

Voices on the announcement

Fortec’s team principal praised the signing, calling the twins “talented, hungry and ready for a tougher challenge.” The Felbers said the move was about testing themselves in Europe and getting closer to long-term goals in single-seaters. Commentators and fans on social channels welcomed the move as a smart career step — many noting that the UK’s compact calendar and high-profile tracks offer better chances to be noticed.

What comes next

Look for the Felbers to appear at preseason testing in early 2026 and on the official entry list when it’s released. Their progress through winter testing, plus any sponsorship announcements, will be the clearest short-term signs of how quickly they can adapt to British F4. Either way, the move puts them on a busier, tougher stage — and that’s exactly where ambitions either grow or fade.
