MARTA GARCIA & VICKY PIRIA Help Develop Game-Changing Tatuus T-326 FRegional

December 19, 2025

• MARTA GARCIA and VICKY PIRIA played crucial roles in developing Tatuus’s new T-326 FRegional car, providing feedback that helped address the previous generation’s notorious heaviness and unresponsiveness. Both drivers, with extensive experience on the outgoing T-318 chassis, confirmed the new car delivers a “totally different” driving experience with significantly improved steering feel and overall responsiveness.
• The development process specifically targeted accessibility for female drivers, with Tatuus making deliberate adjustments to suspension geometry after the T-318 was criticized for requiring excessive steering effort. The company’s focus on driver feedback from experienced women racers like GARCIA and PIRIA demonstrates a commitment to creating machinery that works for all competitors, not just those with maximum physical strength.
• Both drivers contributed to extensive testing across European circuits including Cremona, Cervesina, Vallelunga, Mugello, Paul Ricard, and Magny-Cours, working alongside former Minardi F1 test driver Matteo Bobbi and Le Mans podium finisher Lorenzo Colombo. Their input helped validate Tatuus’s simulation work and provided real-world confirmation that the engineering changes successfully addressed the previous car’s shortcomings in wheel-to-wheel racing scenarios.
