FIA F4 Global Esports Championship starts tonight

The FIA F4 Global Esports Championship presented by MOZA starts tonight on iRacing, with the opening round, a doubleheader, from 19:00 GMT. Thirty drivers, 10 from each of the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe, are racing for a $35,000 prize pool, with $15,000 to the champion. The UK's Henry Moore is the defending champion and runs No. 1.

Each round is a doubleheader of 15-minute races with fixed setups, and the drivers find out the tracks 24 hours before each round. After tonight, the season continues on 7, 14 and 21 November. Every race is live on iRacing's social channels. More on the season (https://www.iracing.com/2026-fia-f4-global-esports-championship-presented-by-moza-season-begins-october-31st/)
