The 16-year-old quickly established himself as a front-runner, including podiums at Snetterton, Croft and Silverstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Australian has raced a part-season in the GB3 Championship this season, including a breakthrough win at Silverstone in the summer, plus appearances state-side in the Indy Pro 2000 series and out on the continent in the Italian, Spanish and German F4 championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He will partner series newcomer James Higgins at Daventry-based Fortec, who fittingly also make their return to ROKiT British F4 this weekend at Silverstone [23-25 Sep] to gather experience ahead of a full-time presence on the grid in 2023. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to being back in ROKiT British F4, and to partner up with Fortec Motorsport,\u201d said Flack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a championship that I learnt a lot in last season, and I\u2019ve got experience with the new Gen-2 car from racing in Italy and Germany this year. Fortec are a great team, and I\u2019ve always run well at Silverstone, so the ingredients are there for us to have a good weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Oliver Dutton, Fortec\u2019s Team Manager, the deal with Flack represents a chance for the team to compete at the front from the get-go on their return to the championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMarcos is a talented driver, and already a proven quantity at both this level, and the level above,\u201d says Dutton. \u201cSo, we\u2019ve no concerns he will be able to extract the most from the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also important for James\u2019 development to have an experienced driver in alongside him, and Marcos\u2019 experience will be equally valuable to our team at the track as we begin our programme for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to working with him, and to be back out racing in F4 this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortec Motorsport has made a late addition to its driver line-up for this weekend\u2019s ROKiT British F4 Championship certified by FIA meeting at Silverstone, by announcing Marcos Flack will join the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
