Alphabet Racing Italia S.R.L.,[1] competing as LN4 Fusion, is an auto racing team based in Italy and the United Kingdom.[2] Co-founded by Lando Norris, it plans to start racing in 2027, having acquired selected assets of AIX Racing. Currently, LN4 Fusion is scheduled to compete in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, Formula Regional European Championship and Italian F4 Championship.[3][4][5]
History
[edit]LN4 Fusion traces its origins back to the registration of Alphabet Racing Limited in Jersey on 28 January 2026,[4][6] and Alphabet Racing Italia S.R.L. in Milan in March 2026.[7][8] The former, which named Chris Phillips and Dan Richards as directors, purchased 50% of British karting team Fusion Motorsport, owned by Dan Hazlewood, on 31 January 2026.[4][9] The latter was linked to a potential buyout of AIX Racing by former Prema Racing executives René Rosin and Guillaume Capietto in August 2026.[7][10]
On 2 September 2026, Lando Norris co-founded LN4 Fusion together with Richards (CEO), Rosin (Team Principal), Hazlewood (Team Principal of UK Operations) and Capietto (Racing Director).[3][5][11] The group acquired selected assets of AIX Racing and announced plans to compete in Formula 3, FREC and Italian F4, in addition to entering the Formula 2 team selection process for 2027.[4][12] The team also has intentions to join British F4.[4]
Along with the announcement, Norris also launched the LN4 Legacy Programme, a driver development programme operated by ADD Management and aimed at helping young drivers financially on their way to Formula One.[3][13]
