British-UAE talent Theo Palmer joins Hitech for British F4 2026
British F4 Driver Signing
Hitech is pleased to announce that Theo Palmer will race for the team in the 2026 British F4 Championship, in what will be his second season in the UK single-seater category.
Theo began his motorsport journey at the age of nine at the Dubai Autodrome Karting Academy, rapidly advancing through the junior IAME and Rotax categories. His talent was evident early on as he claimed multiple race wins in regional UAE championships.
The 15-year-old then expanded into Europe, competing in the X30 Senior and Rotax Max Challenge event, with notable successes including a top-eight finish at the 2024 Kartmasters Grand Prix (Junior X30) and consistent performance in European Open competitions. These results demonstrated his ability to compete at a high level against some of the continent’s best young drivers.
In 2025, Palmer stepped up to British F4 mid-season, adapting quickly to single-seater machinery and showing maturity on the UK circuits. His first experience in F4 laid a solid foundation, and now, joining Hitech, he is looking to build on the learnings and target strong championship results in 2026.
Theo Palmer:
“I’m really excited to be joining Hitech for this next step in my single-seater career. They’re a really professional team and have either won or been in the fight for the title every year. I can’t wait to learn from them and fight for strong results throughout the season.”
Dominic Stott, Hitech’s British F4 Team Manager:
“We have kept a close eye on Theo in his British F4 debut season and have been impressed to see the same pace and adaptability that he consistently demonstrated in karting. We are confident he has all the tools to make an immediate impact this season and will continue to develop.”
