The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine fired into life at Circuit Paul Ricard this morning with the opening Collective Test of the weekend, held under dry and warm conditions. It was Enzo Deligny (R-ace GP) who set the pace, clocking a best time of 1:58.862, leading a tightly packed field with 12 drivers covered by less than a second.

Following an action-packed weekend at the Hungaroring, the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine now moves to the iconic Circuit Paul Ricard for Round 5 of the 2025 season. The title fight remains wide open, with Matteo De Palo (Trident Motorsport) and Freddie Slater (Prema Racing) separated by just four points at the top of the standings: 122 to 118.
 

Fred Green (Elite Motorsport) produced a blistering pace in the summer heatwave on his way to a double pole position in qualifying. The 2025 Ginetta Junior Scholarship winner lapped seven tenths of a second faster than anyone else, the biggest pole margin of the season to date. Behind, Alfie Slater edged out his R Racing team-mate Rocco Coronel by just five thousandths of a second to secure a front-row slot for race one. Max Cuthbert (R Racing) and Elite Motorsport duo Ethan Carney and Joseph Smith rounded out the top six overall in the session.

The fourth round of the Italian F.4 Championship came to a close with a standout weekend for Alex Powell. The American-Jamaican driver from R-ace GP, part of the Mercedes junior program, had already impressed in qualifying by securing two pole positions. In Race 1, he climbed to the podium from fourth on the grid, finishing third, and then capped off the weekend with a double win in Race 2 and Race 3. The final race saw him cross the line with over five seconds of margin on his closest rival.

Alex Powell claimed victory in Race 2 at Mugello, securing his first-ever win in the Italian F.4 Championship. In a weekend that is rewarding the hard work put in since the start of the season, Powell added to his third place in Race 1 by taking the win in the second race of the weekend, making the most of the first of his two pole positions earned in qualifying. He will start from pole again tomorrow in the final race of Round 4 of the Championship, promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion.

Elite Motorsport’s Ary Bansal enjoyed his best day of the GB4 Championship season so far as he claimed both pole positions on offer in qualifying, and then led every lap of race one to clinch his second win of the campaign. The Indian driver held off teammate Isaac Phelps during the 10 lap contest on Saturday afternoon, with championship leader Dan Guinchard finishing third to maintain his standings lead. 

Kean Nakamura-Berta claimed victory in Race 1 of Round 4 of the Italian F.4 Championship, promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion. The Prema Racing driver delivered a commanding lights-to-flag performance from pole position, managing two race restarts following safety car interventions. With 190 points collected so far, Nakamura-Berta further extends his lead in the overall standings, now holding a 48-point advantage over teammate Sebastian Wheldon, who finished seventh today.

Scarperia e San Piero (FI) - At the Mugello Circuit, 38 drivers competing in the Italian F.4 Championship took to the track for official qualifying, pushing against the clock to secure the best possible starting position for the weekend’s races.
