Weekend Debrief: between the Misano verdicts and Suslov’s Spa triple
Sammalisto claims the Italian F4 title, while Stepan Suslov completes a hat-trick of wins in the Hoosier Formula Cup at Spa-Francorchamps.The weekend took the Tatuus to two of the most distinctive circuits on the calendar, with Misano and Spa-Francorchamps providing the backdrop for two very different events. In Italy, the first verdicts of the Italian F4 season arrived, while in Belgium the Hoosier Formula Cup delivered three races to follow closely, with several drivers keeping the action alive all the way to the chequered flag.
ITALIAN F4
The penultimate round of the Italian F4 Championship brought the series to Misano for a weekend that delivered the first verdicts of the 2026 season. Luka Sammalisto mathematically secured the Drivers’ title, while US Racing also claimed the Teams’ championship. Once again, the Tatuus T-421 was at the centre of the action across the four races held at the Romagna circuit, featuring several drivers at the front of the field.
The Italian title was secured by Luka Sammalisto at the end of Race 3. The US Racing driver added his name to the series’ roll of honour, becoming the second US Racing Drivers’ champion in Italian F4 after Kacper Sztuka in 2023 . The team then completed the weekend by securing the Teams’ title, capping off a season built on consistent results.
The most successful driver of the weekend, however, was Christian Costoya . Driving for PREMA Racing , the Spanish driver won all three races he contested, starting with Race 2 and following it up with victories in Race 3 and the Final.
The only remaining podium, in Race 1, saw Ary Bansal take the win ahead of Alp Aksoy and Ludovico Busso. In Race 2, Kenzo Craigie and Alp Aksoy completed the podium behind Costoya, while Race 3 saw the PREMA driver finish ahead of Thomas Bearman and Edward Robinson . In the Final, Costoya completed his hat-trick of victories by once again finishing ahead of Aksoy and Robinson.
The Italian F4 Championship now heads to Mugello for the final round of the season. With the Drivers’ and Teams’ titles already decided, the Women’s Championship remains to be settled, while the Tatuus T-421 prepares to close out the season at the Tuscan circuit.
HOOSIER FORMULA CUP
The fourth round of the Hoosier Formula Cup brought the championship to Spa-Francorchamps for a weekend dominated by one driver: Stepan Suslov . The Winfield Racing driver won all three races held at the Belgian circuit.
In Race 1, Suslov finished ahead of his teammate Alan Orzynsky Hemsani , while Christophe Hurny of Sports Promotion completed the podium. In Race 2, Suslov was once again first to the chequered flag, this time followed by teammate Martin Stoyanov and Eros Gioannini of DCB Novali by Formula Motors.
The third race confirmed Suslov’s dominance, with the Winfield Racing driver once again taking the win. Eros Gioannini finished second, while Martin Stoyanov completed the podium in third, securing his second top-three finish of the weekend. It was therefore a weekend entirely in Winfield Racing’s favour, with Suslov turning all three races at Spa into a perfect hat-trick.
After the visit to the legendary Belgian circuit, the Hoosier Formula Cup now moves on to its next round. The series will return to the track from 15 to 18 October at Navarra.

Weekend Preview: between Misano and Spa-Francorchamps, the Tatuus are back on track for another weekend well worth following
The penultimate round of Italian F4 brings the title fight back into focus, while the Hoosier Formula Cup heads into its fourth round of the season at the legendary Belgian circuit.Next weekend takes the Tatuus to two very different settings, from the Misano World Circuit to the iconic Spa-Francorchamps. Two events that bring together very different atmospheres, tracks and categories, but share the same desire to get back on track. From the Italian F4 title fight to the fourth round of the Ultimate Cup Series.
ITALIAN F4
The penultimate round of the Italian F4 Championship brings the Tatuus T-421 back to the Misano World Circuit, just a few months after the opening round of the season was held at the same track. The return comes at an advanced stage of the championship, with Luka Sammalisto closing in on the biggest prize: the US Racing driver leads the standings by 99 points over David Cosma Cristofor and could mathematically wrap up the championship with a win, worth 30 points.
Five drivers are still mathematically in contention for the title behind him. Alongside Cosma Cristofor, they are Ary Bansal, Alp Aksoy, Kenzo Craigie and Edward Robinson. Among them, Craigie is also the driver to watch in the Rookie standings, having recently taken the lead from Alp Aksoy.
The battle for the top spot in the women’s standings is also particularly close, with Emma Felbermayr of the Audi Driver Development Programme leading Payton Westcot by just 26 points.
Misano will therefore be the final stop before the grand finale in Monza, where the season will come to an end after seven rounds. For the T-421, it will be another encounter with the track that opened the championship, this time with the standings much closer to their final verdicts.
Weekend schedule:
Friday Qualifying 1: 16:50 Qualifying 2: 17:20
Saturday Race 1: 11:15 Race 2: 17:05
Sunday Race 3: 10:10 Final: 16:20
The races will be broadcast live on ACI Sport TV , as well as on the championship’s YouTube channel.
HOOSIER FORMULA CUP
The Ultimate Cup Series reaches its fourth round of the season, with Tatuus cars ready to return to Spa-Francorchamps. This weekend, the Belgian circuit will host another round of the Hoosier Formula Cup, bringing the category to one of the most iconic tracks in international motorsport.
Spa combines speed and technicality in a unique way, alternating challenging corners with long, high-speed sections. It will therefore be a demanding weekend for the drivers, as they take on one of the most challenging circuits on the calendar. Following Friday’s qualifying sessions, the Hoosier Formula Cup will hit the track for two races on the same day, before the final race takes place on Saturday morning.

Weekend Debrief: The roar of the Tatuus cars accompanies another action-packed weekend
Hockenheim, Brno and Puebla: three venues, with titles decided, victories celebrated and new protagonists emerging.The weekend brought together three very different racing scenarios, united by one common element: Tatuus cars once again took centre stage in Formula Regional and Formula 4. From Hockenheim to Brno and Puebla, the title battles followed different paths, with important victories, new protagonists and championships both decided and still open.
FREC
The 2026 FIA Formula Regional European Championship could hardly have produced a more closely fought finale. At Hockenheim, venue for the eighth and final round of the season, the Drivers’ Championship was still contested by four protagonists: Emanuele Olivieri (R-ace GP), Kean Nakamura-Berta (PREMA Racing), Sebastian Wheldon (MP Motorsport) and Rashid Al Dhaheri (R-ace GP).
The first verdict of the weekend came with Jan Przyrowski’s (RPM) victory in Race 1. It was the Polish driver’s first success of the season and made him the first Polish winner in the history of the category. Kean Nakamura-Berta and Rashid Al Dhaheri joined him on the podium, while Emanuele Olivieri retained the championship lead ahead of the final race.
All the pressure was therefore concentrated on Sunday. Wheldon secured pole position, with Nakamura-Berta alongside him and Olivieri starting from the second row, while Al Dhaheri lined up 13th. The MP Motorsport driver took the lead at the start and held it until the chequered flag, claiming his fourth victory of the season, more than any other driver in the championship.
Behind him, Olivieri found the pace and position needed to finish second and secure the title. At just 18 years old , the R-ace GP, and F1 Audi junior, driver completed a season already made even more significant by his Rookie Championship success at Imola. Olivieri finished ahead of Wheldon and Nakamura-Berta, becoming only the second Italian in history to win the FIA Formula Regional European Championship, following in the footsteps of Kimi Antonelli.
The result at Hockenheim meant even more for R-ace GP . The team had already secured the Teams’ Championship after the opening race of the weekend and, with Olivieri’s title, completed a historic clean sweep. For the first time in its history, the team won the Drivers’, Teams’ and Rookie Championships in the same season.
This was how the Tatuus T-326 brought its first FIA Formula Regional European Championship season to a close: 17 races, 11 different winners and a title fight that remained open until the final round, before one team ultimately claimed all three available championships.
F4 CEZ
The penultimate round of the 2026 F4 Central European Zone season, held at Autodrom Brno, further strengthened Elia Weiss’ (Jenzer Motorsport) position at the top of the standings and confirmed Jenzer Motorsport’s particularly strong form. The team won all four races of the weekend, with Weiss taking two victories, while Theo Borenstein and Georgiy Zasov added one win each.
Weiss opened and closed the weekend on the top step of the podium. In Race 1, the Jenzer driver started from third and quickly moved into the lead, finishing ahead of teammate Max Karhan (Jenzer Motorsport) and Simon Rechenmacher (Cram Motorsport) . His second victory came in Race 4, this time from pole position, with Weiss leading Borenstein and Karhan while also setting the fastest lap.
Between Weiss’ two wins came victories for Borenstein and Zasov . The Czech driver claimed Race 2 at his home circuit, holding off Karhan throughout the race and completing an all-Jenzer podium alongside teammate Markas Silkunas. For Zasov, meanwhile, Brno delivered his first F4 CEZ victory of the season . Starting from pole in Race 3, he maintained the lead to the finish despite constant pressure from Weiss, who crossed the line just 0.310 seconds behind.
Brno represented another important step towards the title for Weiss. With two victories added to his tally, the Jenzer driver moved to 299 points and extended his advantage over Borenstein to 42 points. Karhan remains third with 240 points.
The Rookie classification is also still open, with Markas Silkunas leading Rechenmacher and Zasov. With just one round remaining, Brno therefore left several important battles unresolved.
Standings:
- Elia Weiss (Jenzer Motorsport) – 299 points - Theo Borenstein (Jenzer Motorsport) – 247 points - Max Karhan (Jenzer Motorsport) – 240 points
The 2026 season will conclude at the Hungaroring at the end of October, where the final F4 CEZ titles will be decided.
F4 NACAM
The Puebla weekend gave fresh momentum to the F4 NACAM title battle, with Alex Bobadilla (Alessandros Racing) still leading the standings but Alan Zezatti (Alessandros Racing) closing the gap.
Zezatti claimed both pole position and victory in Race 1, beating Bobadilla and Mariano Alatorre to complete an all-Alessandros Racing podium. The following two races produced two more winners: Oliver Trejo secured his second victory of the season in Race 2, while Alatorre claimed his first win of the year in Race 3.
Bobadilla now holds a 46-point advantage over Zezatti, while Trejo sits third, 95 points behind the championship leader.
At the wheel of the Tatuus T-421, the championship protagonists added another chapter to the 2026 season, with the title battle remaining open ahead of the next round.
Standings:
- Alex Bobadilla (Alessandros Racing) - Alan Zezatti (Alessandros Racing) - Mariano Alatorre (Alessandros Racing)
The next F4 NACAM event will take place at Autódromo Miguel E. Abed from 2 to 4 October.

Weekend Preview: Brno, Hockenheim and Puebla Write the Next Chapters of the Tatuus Season
From the penultimate round of the F4 CEZ to the FREC finale, via a new round of NACAM, Tatuus cars are preparing for a race weekend spread across three very different venues.Each event brings something different: for some, it is time to defend an advantage; for others, an opportunity to reshuffle the order, while others can seize the chance to take a step forward and build momentum in their respective campaigns. From F4 CEZ to FREC and F4 NACAM, the upcoming weekend will once again bring together very different championships and racing environments, all featuring Tatuus single-seaters on track.
FREC
Hockenheim will host the final round of the 2026 FIA Formula Regional European Championship, with four drivers still in contention for the title. On the 4.574 km German circuit, the final 56 points of the season will be up for grabs, with Emanuele Olivieri (R-ace GP) leading the standings, Sebastian Wheldon (MP Motorsport) 20 points behind, Kean Nakamura-Berta (PREMA Racing) 25 points off the lead and Rashid Al Dhaheri (R-ace GP) 35 points adrift.
Olivieri’s position is the result of a season built primarily on consistency. The Italian driver has scored eight podiums in the 17 races held so far, including two wins, five second-place finishes and one third place. His victory at Imola, his second of the season after Monza, also allowed him to secure the Rookie title one round early.
Behind him, Wheldon has built his campaign around three victories, two of which came in the same weekend at Zandvoort, along with a win at Paul Ricard. Nakamura-Berta has also claimed three victories and led the standings before the Imola round, while Al Dhaheri occupied the top spot midway through the season before adding his third win in Hungary.
The picture remains particularly open when looking at the championship as a whole: five different drivers have led the standings and there have been no fewer than ten different race winners across the 17 races held. Among them is Oleksandr Bondarev (Van Amersfoort Racing) , who converted pole position into victory on his category debut at Imola. The Ukrainian driver will be back on the grid at Hockenheim, while Reno Francot (CL Motorsport), Salim Hanna (PREMA Racing), Alexandre Munoz (ART Grand Prix), Maksimilian Popov (Trident Motorsport) and Yuki Sano (R-ace GP) complete the list of race winners this season.
Hockenheim will also decide the Team Trophy title, with R-ace GP holding a 106-point advantage over MP Motorsport. It will therefore be the final chapter of a season that has seen the Tatuus T-326 make its first appearance in the FIA Formula Regional European Championship, taking on the category’s major European events.
Weekend schedule:
Saturday, September 12 Qualifying 1 – 09:10 Race 1 – 13:00
Sunday, September 13 Qualifying 2 – 09:40 Race 2 – 16:10
Both Hockenheim races will be broadcast across more than 200 territories and live on the official FIA Formula Regional European Championship YouTube channel.
F4 CEZ
The fifth round of the 2026 season brings the Tatuus T-421 to Autodrom Brno for the penultimate round of the F4 Central European Zone Championship. With 150 points still available between Brno and the season finale at the Hungaroring, the championship remains open to several possible scenarios, starting at the top of the standings.
The top four drivers, from Elia Weiss (Jenzer Motorsport) to Max Karkhan (Jenzer Motorsport) , are separated by just 45 points. Adding further interest to the picture is the fact that five different drivers have won at least one race so far: Weiss has claimed six victories during the season, three of them in the latest round at Autodrom Most. Alongside him, David Walther (Maffi Racing) and Theo Borenstein (Jenzer Motorsport) have each scored three wins, Karhan has two, while Simon Rechenmacher (Cram Motorsport) secured his first championship victory at Slovakia Ring. And the mathematics widens the group even further: nine drivers can still fight for the title.
The size of the entry list also makes Brno a particularly busy event, with the provisional list featuring 36 cars. Free Practice and Qualifying will therefore be split into two groups, while the weekend will feature four races on the 5.4 km circuit.
In the Women’s Trophy, Mathilda Paatz (Mathilda Racing) and Ella Häkkinen (Jenzer Motorsport) are separated by just seven points, while Jenzer Motorsport leads the Teams’ Championship.
Weekend schedule:
Friday, September 11 Qualifying 1 – 15:20 Qualifying 2 – 15:50
Saturday, September 12 Race 1 – 09:35 Race 2 – 14:25
Sunday, September 13 Race 3 – 09:00 Race 4 – 15:05
All F4 CEZ races will be broadcast live on the championship’s official YouTube channel.
F4 NACAM
The Mexico Super Fan will be the next stop on the NACAM Formula 4 Championship calendar, with the series heading to the Autodromo Miguel E. Abed in Amozoc, Puebla, this weekend.
At the wheel of the Tatuus T-421, Alex Bobadilla, Alan Zezatti, Oliver Trejo, Alex Popow Jr. and Fernando Rivera are preparing for a new challenge at the Mexican circuit, with Bobadilla so far showing the most consistent form and therefore emerging as the benchmark of the group.
The young drivers will have two opportunities to fight for victory during Saturday’s programme.
Weekend schedule:
Saturday, September 12 Race 1 – 11:35 Race 2 – 14:35

Weekend Debrief: the cards are reshuffled, revealing a new side of the season
Imola, Croft, Donington Park and Interlagos: four different stages of the same weekend, between confirmations, debuts and several challengesFrom Imola to Donington Park, via Croft and Interlagos, the weekend offered four very different ways of experiencing competition. Victories built from the first corner, comebacks, immediately competitive debuts and championship standings taking a different shape: here is what happened across the Tatuus categories on track.
FREC
The Imola weekend reshuffled the top end of the FIA Formula Regional European Championship standings. Emanuele Olivieri (R-ace GP) made the most of the penultimate round of the season, taking a win and a second place that allowed him to arrive at the final round as championship leader. These results also secured him the Rookie title with one race still to go.
Pole position came in Saturday’s qualifying session, with Olivieri ahead of Tomass Stolcermanis (PREMA Racing) and Marcus Saeter (G4 Racing) . In Race 1, the Italian driver maintained the lead all the way to the chequered flag, taking his second win of the season as well as the fastest lap.

GB3
The Donington Park round saw Deagen Fairclough among the main protagonists of the weekend, with two wins in the first two races. The Hitech driver started the weekend by taking pole position for Race 2, while Nikita Bedrin secured pole for Race 1, once again confirming himself among the category’s leading drivers.
In Race 1, Fairclough managed to pass Bedrin on the opening lap, but the VRD driver remained within reach throughout the second half of the race, making several attempts to regain the lead. Fairclough nevertheless held onto first place until the chequered flag, taking his fourth win of the season. Bedrin finished second, while Abbi Pulling completed the podium in third.
Fairclough repeated the result in Race 2, securing his second consecutive win of the weekend. Leon Wilson brought Arden home in second, followed by Martin Molnar in third for Rodin Motorsport. Lucas Fluxá finished fourth, maintaining his position among the top three in the overall standings.
The third race of the weekend had a different winner. Starting from third, Rowan Campbell-Pilling took the lead at the first corner and, after several position changes during the opening stages, regained first place and held it to the finish. The Xcel Motorsport driver therefore claimed his first GB3 victory. Peter Bouzinelos finished second, while Abbi Pulling secured her second podium of the weekend in third. Starting from 12th, Fairclough recovered to finish fifth.
For Pulling , the two third-place finishes were among the most consistent results of the weekend, with points scored in both races in which she reached the podium. Fairclough , meanwhile, left Donington with two wins and a fifth-place finish, while Bedrin retained the championship lead.
The standings after Donington Park:
1. Nikita Bedrin (VRD Racing) – 392 points 2. Martin Molnar (Rodin Motorsport) – 313 points 3. Lucas Fluxá (Xcel Motorsport) – 305 points
The next round will take place at Brands Hatch from September 24 to 27.
GB4
Donington Park marked Yani Stevenheydens ’ GB4 debut, as he stepped in for Emmilio Valentino Del Grosso at Elite Motorsport . The Belgian driver immediately found his pace, securing both available pole positions in qualifying and ending the weekend with a win and a third-place finish.
In Race 1, Fred Green took advantage of Stevenheydens’ slow start to move into the lead. The Elite Motorsport driver then held first place all the way to the finish, securing his fourth victory of the season. Alex O’Grady finished second, while Stevenheydens completed the podium on his category debut.
Race 2 saw Stevenheydens turn pole position into his first GB4 victory. The Belgian managed the race despite constant pressure from Green , who finished third. Enzo Hallman completed the podium in second.
The final race went to Josh McLean , who claimed his fourth seasonal victory in reverse-grid races. Starting from pole, the Pace Performance driver maintained the lead to the finish, ahead of Conor Grant and his teammate John O’Donnell , who secured his first GB4 podium.
The Donington result leaves the title fight open. O’Grady retains the championship lead with a 49-point advantage over Green and, with 102 points still available at the final round, five drivers remain mathematically in contention for the title.
The standings after Donington Park:
1. Alex O’Grady (KMR Sport) – 373 points 2. Fred Green (Elite Motorsport) – 324 points 3. Dayton Coulthard (Douglas Motorsport) – 290 points

Weekend Debrief: An Action-Packed Weekend at Snetterton and Markham
Overtakes, battles and incidents defined an exciting weekend for the GB4 and USF Pro Championships.It was a busy and eventful weekend for the 65 Tatuus single-seaters competing at Snetterton (GB4) and Markham (USF Pro 2000 and USF2000) . The Canadian venue made its debut on the IndyCar Series and USF Pro Championships calendar, replacing the historic Toronto street circuit, and delivered plenty of action and unexpected twists.
GB4 It was an almost perfect weekend for Alex O'Grady (KMR Sport) , who extended his championship lead with two victories. In Race 1, the Irishman capitalized on the retirement of pole-sitter and closest rival Fred Green (Elite Motorsport) to secure the win. O'Grady then repeated the feat in Race 2 thanks to a flawless start.
The third race of the weekend, traditionally run with a reversed grid, also marked the 100th race in GB4 Championship history and provided no shortage of drama. Multiple incidents and race interruptions culminated in a red flag that brought proceedings to an early end, handing Josh McLean (Pace Performance) his third victory of the season ahead of Enzo Hallman (Hillspeed) and Emmilio Valentino Del Grosso (Elite Motorsport) .
O'Grady therefore strengthens his championship advantage to 70 points over Green and 80 over Dayton Coulthard. The GB4 Championship will next head to the historic Donington Park circuit on September 5-6.
USF Pro Championships Markham's inaugural race weekend began with an organizational setback that forced all categories to cancel their Friday track sessions, allowing the completion of several safety-related operations around the circuit.
As a result, the weekend schedule was significantly revised. The two Road to Indy series involved were forced to reduce their race mileage and, most notably, abandon qualifying sessions altogether. Starting grids were therefore determined by the championship standings for Race 1 and by the fastest lap times recorded in Race 1 for Race 2.
Once the first green flag waved, however, the circuit proved its worth, delivering plenty of excitement and entertainment.
USF Pro 2000 The headline story in the premier USF Pro Championships category was the absence of Leonardo Escorpioni (Turn 3 Motorsport) . The championship leader coming into the round was unable to travel to Canada, opening the door for his closest challenger, Jack Jeffers (Exclusive Autosport) , to take advantage. A victory in Race 1 followed by a second-place finish allowed Jeffers to move to the top of the standings.
Race 2 victory went to Andres Cardenas (Jay Howard Driver Development) , who secured the first USF Pro 2000 win of his career in North America after already claiming five podium finishes this season. G3 Argyros (Pabst Racing) and Thomas Schrage (TJ Speed) also celebrated podium finishes over the course of the weekend.
The USF Pro 2000 field will now enjoy a single weekend break before returning on August 29-30 for the season's second oval event at the Milwaukee Mile.
USF 2000 USF2000 produced the most dramatic races of the weekend, with numerous contacts and incidents, some of which had a significant impact on the championship battle.
The first chaotic moment in Race 1 involved Eddie Beswick (Pabst Racing) , who arrived in Canada third in the championship standings and therefore started near the front of the grid. After contact with Joao Vergara (VRD Racing) , Beswick dropped to the back of the field but mounted an impressive recovery to finish seventh. The victory in the opening race of the weekend went to championship leader Sebastian Garzon (DEForce Racing) , ahead of his closest challenger Brad Majman (Pabst Racing) .
Majman then struck back in Race 2, claiming victory and gaining valuable points in the standings. The race proved even more difficult and chaotic than the first, with numerous incidents throughout the field, including one involving Garzon.
With just one round remaining, the championship is set for a thrilling finale. Garzon continues to lead the standings with 338 points, while Majman is close behind on 325. Their decisive showdown will take place on September 24 at Road America.
