From Macau to Barcelona, via Jeddah: 114 Tatuus cars on track

The past weekend was a special and symbolic one for the many Tatuus single-seaters competing worldwide. The strongest emotions came from the legendary Guia Circuit in Macau, where the ATM–Alfa Romeo-powered T-318 contested the final chapter of its official competitive history. The model will see its definitive last outings in January and February, when the Toyota-powered version will take part in the CT-FROT in New Zealand.

But the weekend was only the conclusion of a full week spent on track — from Monday through Sunday — as always, all around the world.

FIA FR World Cup – Macau GP

For the second consecutive year, the Macau GP hosted the FIA Formula Regional World Cup, delivering plenty of action across six sessions held from Thursday to Sunday. Fighting at the top throughout the weekend were the drivers from Pinnacle, Prema, ART and R-ace, with Théophile Naël (Pinnacle) showing strong pace as early as Friday and securing pole position in qualifying.
Saturday’s Qualification Race instead went the way of Freddie Slater (Prema), ahead of the two Pinnacle cars of Boya and Naël, followed by ART’s Giltaire and Kato.

All efforts in qualifying were aimed at securing the best possible starting spot for Sunday’s main race, which began with immediate overtakes and intense action. Slater managed to retake the lead from Mari Boya after a few laps, building a gap of around three seconds before a safety car — triggered by Oscar Wurz (Evans GP) — neutralised the race.
The restart favoured Mari Boya, who reclaimed the lead from Slater. In an attempt to stay close, Slater hit the barrier on exit of R Bend, causing another safety-car intervention and a second restart. At that point, Théophile Naël made a brilliant move, overtaking both Enzo Deligny (R-ace) in second and race leader Boya in one single attack.
Helped by an additional safety-car phase, the Frenchman went on to win the race and claim the Formula Regional World Cup title.

Naël will also remain the final driver to secure a FIA Formula Regional victory with the ATM–Alfa Romeo-powered T-318.

EuroCup-3

Barcelona also marked the end of the competitive cycle of the T-318-EC3, the model introduced in 2023 and derived from the T-318 chassis.

With champion Mattia Colnaghi competing at Macau, the rest of the grid battled for the final two races of the season.
Kacper Sztuka (Campos) won Race 1, while Andres Cardenas (MP Motorsport) secured victory in Race 2. Valerio Rinicella (MP Motorsport) finished second in both races and ultimately claimed P2 in the overall standings.

Spanish F4

As tradition dictates, Barcelona also hosted the final round of the Spanish F4 Championship.

Title winner Thomas Strauven (Campos) took his tenth win of the season in Race 1.
Reno Francot (MP Motorsport) claimed his first victory of the year in Race 2, while the final race went to Ean Eyckmans (MP Motorsport), who also secured second place in the championship standings.

F4 Saudi

The week also featured two rounds of the F4 Saudi Championship, both held at the Jeddah circuit — the first between Monday and Tuesday, the second between Friday and Saturday.

Across the four races, Kit Belofsky (Peax) collected one win and two second places, maintaining the championship lead over Adam Al Azhari (Valvoline), who also stood on the podium in three out of four races, as did Scott Lindblom (Red Bull).
Two race victories went to series newcomer Lewis Wherrell (Caraagy), who impressed in his debut.

The title battle between Belofsky, Al Azhari and Lindblom will now go down to the final round, scheduled for 5–6 December, once again at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
