Feeder Series weekend review, results and standings: 06–08 June

Several first-time winners emerged from the Formula Regional Europe, Eurocup-3 and British F4 rounds over the weekend as wet weather and large crashes punctuated the action in multiple junior single-seater races. Feeder Series reviews them all.

By Feeder Series

In what was a calmer weekend in motorsport – at least in terms of the number of series racing – the junior single-seater championships on the docket delivered plenty of action, with four of them ushering in new leaders come Sunday afternoon.

The closest gap is now found in FR Europe, in which Freddie Slater holds a one-point advantage over Matteo De Palo after taking a victory and a third-place finish in a rain-affected weekend at Zandvoort. Damp conditions also hit the Euroformula Open round at the Hockenheimring, where Yevan David emerged with his points lead reduced but intact.

After its second round at Portimão, Eurocup-3 now boasts five different winners from its first five races as almost all the frontrunners hit trouble in at least one race. By contrast, support series Spanish F4 featured only one race winner from the weekend in Belgium’s Thomas Strauven, who now has a 58-point lead over René Lammers.

British F4’s Thruxton round and USF Juniors’ first of two events at Mid-Ohio had plenty of rain-induced chaos as well. A major pile-up affected the first race of the former, which new championship leader Martin Molnár won, while Leonardo Escorpioni leads the latter after taking his seventh podium finish in eight races. Read on to find out everything that happened.

FRegional Europe: Slater takes back points lead as Clerot takes maiden win

Prema Racing’s Freddie Slater took back the FR Europe drivers’ standings lead by one point over Matteo De Palo following the third round of the season at Zandvoort, where he won race one and finished third in race two. Meanwhile, Pedro Clerot won race two and took Van Amersfoort Racing’s first win since 2023, which also helped them take the points lead at their home round.

Slater started off the weekend by jumping from third to first at the start in race one as polesitter Clerot struggled at the start and fell to second. Despite two safety car periods during race one, Slater remained unchallenged for the rest of the race, leading every lap on his way to his second win of the season.

Clerot held on to second after spending the final six laps holding off fellow front-row starter Akshay Bohra, who finished just 0.029 seconds behind the Brazilian to round out the podium. Points leader De Palo finished sixth, behind Enzo Deligny and Evan Giltaire.

Wet conditions greeted drivers Sunday morning for the second qualifying session of the weekend, and lap times never went below the 1m40s mark. Group B’s Clerot took his second pole of the weekend ahead of teammate Yamakoshi, whose group ran second and faced worse conditions.

On the grid for race two, title contender Giltaire stalled from seventh just before the original start, which required a second formation lap to be held and forced the Frenchman to start from pit lane.

When the race finally started, polesitter Clerot held the lead from Yamakoshi and Slater, with De Palo passing Jin Nakamura for sixth into Turn 1. 

On lap three, the safety car came out for Tim Gerhards’ stranded car, which had picked up front-left suspension damage from contact with Doriane Pin at Turn 3 on the previous lap. The top three remained in the same order at the restart two laps later, while Nakamura passed both Bohra and De Palo in the first half of the lap to jump up to fifth.

Up ahead, Clerot kept Yamakoshi at bay until the end of the race, taking his maiden series win ahead of Slater, who rounded out the podium as the new points leader. Deligny and Nakamura rounded out the top five, while Bohra crossed the line sixth but fell to ninth after receiving a five-second penalty for jumping the start.

That promoted De Palo to sixth, but the extra position was not enough to preserve his points lead over Slater. He is now one point behind the Briton, who has 83 points, with Deligny third on 75 and Giltaire fourth on 67 after finishing 16th from his pit-lane start in race two. Clerot rounds out the top five with 65 points.

On the final lap, Giovanni Maschio ended up upside down following an incident at Turn 7. He walked away unassisted and was classified 25th.

Eurocup-3: Rivera takes over at the top as Colnaghi slips to third

Ernesto Rivera snatched the Eurocup-3 championship lead from Mattia Colnaghi after taking second in race one and his maiden Eurocup-3 win in race two. He now leads Kacper Sztuka by five points.

From his maiden Eurocup-3 pole, Sztuka fended off recent F3 debutant Jesse Carrasquedo through the opening corners before Garrett Berry spun Alexander Abkhazava at Turn 5, necessitating a safety car deployment. The incident earned Berry a three-place grid penalty for the reverse-grid sprint race, costing him a front-row start.

On the restart on lap three, Sztuka launched late on the pit straight, and Carrasquedo and Rivera used Sztuka’s slipstream to overtake him from both sides entering Turn 1. Enzo Tarnvanichkul and Jules Caranta also overtook the Pole around the outside of Turns 2 and 3, dropping him to fifth.

Sztuka reclaimed fourth from Caranta on lap 10, shortly before the safety car came out again for a collision between Berry and Lenny Ried at Turn 4.

Carrasquedo nailed the restart at the end of lap 13 to take his second Eurocup-3 victory ahead of Rivera and Sztuka, who overtook Tarnvanichkul on the restart for third. Colnaghi crossed the line fifth but dropped to 21st post-race with a 25-second penalty for overtaking Caranta under safety car conditions.

Almost half the sprint took place behind the safety car. The first deployment came on lap two when Emil Hellberg beached his car at Turn 4. The second came on lap five, almost immediately after the restart, when Theodor Jensen caused an incident at Turn 3 also involving Oscar Wurz and Kai Daryanani.

Egozi won from pole ahead of Abkhazava and Valerio Rinicella. Francisco Macedo, who originally finished third after passing Rinicella on lap two, lost one position post-race for exceeding track limits whilst defending from Rinicella. 

Tarnvanichkul and Sztuka both stalled at the start, and whilst Sztuka finished only 25th, Tarnvanichkul crossed the line 10th after passing Luciano Morano on the last lap. That became ninth after Maciej Gładysz received a 10-second post-race penalty for overtaking Morano off track. 

Carrasquedo topped qualifying two but received a five-place grid penalty for the final race for not respecting yellow flags during qualifying. An additional formation lap was also called after a blower from Lorenzo Castillo’s car fell on track. 

Carrasquedo’s countryman Rivera led from pole ahead of Sztuka, whom Caranta and Colnaghi overtook in the opening corners. There was only one safety car at the end of lap two to recover Macedo’s beached car at Turn 8. 

Shortly after the restart, Colnaghi and Sztuka passed Caranta on lap six, but the Frenchman returned the favour by darting around the outside of Sztuka at Turn 1 the next lap.

As Rivera won the race, Sztuka briefly reclaimed third after battling Caranta in the first few corners, but Caranta prevailed after passing Sztuka around the outside of Turn 4. That eventually decided second place, as Colnaghi earned a 10-second post-race penalty for overtaking off track at Turn 5 at the restart and dropped to seventh.

Euroformula Open: Motopark dominates home round as David extends points lead

Team Motopark won all three races with three different drivers in the third round of the Euroformula Open season at Hockenheimring, with Yevan David’s win in race three enabling him to leave with an 18-point lead in the standings over Michael Shin.

The German team didn’t start off the weekend on top, however, as BVM Racing’s Tymek Kucharczyk took pole and Diego de la Torre qualified second. But the Mexican driver did not start race one after breaking down on the reconnaissance lap.

When the race got underway, Kucharczyk had a slow start and fell to third as Shin took the lead and David moved up to second. Kucharczyk passed the Sri Lankan into Turn 6, but as they fought exiting Turn 10, the pair made contact. The BVM suffered a rear-right puncture, whilst David’s front wing broke and eventually went under his car.

Following the two title contenders’ collision, Shin pulled away to lead all 18 laps and win by a crushing 20.276 seconds over teammate Everett Stack, who finished just 0.301s ahead of Edward Pearson. Stack had earlier disputed second with José Garfias, who started eighth and finished 0.592s behind Pearson in fourth. Kucharczyk made his way to eighth by the end as David finished a distant 10th.

Shawn Rashid started on pole for the reverse-grid race two in wet conditions and kept the lead until Turn 8, where he ran wide on exit of Turn 8 and fell to third behind Garfias and Shin. Rashid then began exchanging third place with David, a battle that ended with the Sri Lankan passing the American on lap seven after having a slow exit from Turn 1.

Up ahead, Garfias dominated race two to take his maiden Euroformula Open win ahead of Shin and David. Kucharczyk finished fourth, as Rashid fell to eighth after spinning entering the final corner on lap nine.

Stack spun into the wall at high speed at Turn 2 on the opening lap, but the incident did not trigger a safety car.

Stack started race three first but fell to second after being overtaken by David – and briefly Shin too – following a slow start. Stack held on to second until both Shin and Kucharczyk overtook him at the hairpin on lap nine, which dropped him to fourth.

Kucharczyk didn’t hold third for long, however, as contact with Edward Pearson gave him a rear-right puncture. Fortunately for him, De la Torre crashed on the exit of Turn 1 at the same time and brought out the safety car.

The race restarted with five laps remaining, and David held the lead until the end to take his fourth win of the season. Shin and Garfias rounded out the podium as Kucharczyk bounced back from his puncture to cross the line fifth.

Spanish F4: Strauven retakes championship lead with a hat-trick of wins

Thomas Strauven retook the Spanish F4 championship lead from René Lammers after taking a clean sweep of victories at Portimão. The Belgian driver now has a 58-point gap over the Dutchman, who had suboptimal results including a retirement. 

As in Eurocup-4 earlier this year, Strauven won the first race of the weekend from pole ahead of Ean Eyckmans. Strauven’s countryman battled Przyrowski throughout the first half of race and attempted a late, ultimately unsuccessful pass for the lead after the Polish driver went straight on at Turn 5 on lap eight and retired.

Two safety cars interrupted the race, with the first coming on lap six when wild card driver Andre Rodriguez got beached in the gravel at Turn 1. The second came at the start of lap nine when Lammers and Juan Cota came to blows at the same corner whilst battling for third, eliminating both from the race and handing third to Reno Francot. Cota was found to be at fault and was given a three-place grid penalty for race two. 

On the restart at the end of lap 12, Niklas Schaufler took third from Francot and took the chequered flag in that position. The Red Bull junior, however, was immediately handed a five-second penalty for track-limits violations, meaning Francot ended up taking his first Spanish F4 podium.

Strauven once again started on pole for race two with Przyrowski alongside. The Polish driver lost out to a hard-charging Eyckmans into Turn 1, whilst Lammers moved up to fourth after Noah Monteiro stalled on the grid.

Two safety car periods again neutralised the race, with the first coming on lap two as Vivek Kanthan collided with Nathan Tye at Turn 5 and stopped on track. The second came at the beginning of lap eight so marshals could recover Santino Panetta’s stranded car from the Turn 4 gravel.

On the second restart, Przyrowski and Lammers banged wheels at Turn 1, allowing Christopher Feghali and Schaufler through into third and fourth respectively. The Polish driver then lost out in a multi-car brawl down the main straight two laps later as the likes of Tye, Andrej Petrović and Alfio Spina all got past.

In the end, Strauven once again took victory ahead of Eyckmans, who were joined on the podium by Feghali. Przyrowski finished 16th, while Kanthan received a five-place grid penalty for causing the collision with Tye.

Przyrowski took pole for race three but almost immediately lost the lead on the run down to Turn 1 as Eyckmans surged past both him and Strauven. Eyckmans maintained the lead until lap nine, when the Campos pair slipped past in the opening turns.

On lap 11, Strauven locked up at Turn 3 while pursuing his teammate and almost hit the side of his car. The Belgian dispatched Przyrowski the following lap around the outside of Turn 1 and held the lead until the end. Juan Cota was now battling Eyckmans, and the Spaniard made a similar move on lap 14 to secure third.

British F4: Virtuosi record their best weekend as Molnár takes championship lead

Virtuosi Racing had their best weekend in British F4 since they joined the series in 2022, taking two wins, two fastest laps, and two further podiums at Thruxton as lead driver Martin Molnár snatched the lead of the drivers’ championship from Hitech’s Fionn McLaughlin. 

Fortec’s Henry Joslyn continued his strong qualifying form to take both pole positions, while incidents for Thomas Bearman and Xavier Avramides early in the session brought out the red flag. 

As in the season opener at Donington Park, Joslyn launched slowly from pole, giving Molnár the lead into the first corner. Leo Robinson slotted into second thanks to a strong getaway, while further back the greasy track conditions led to incidents up and down the field. Jimmy Piszcyk and Thomas Ingram-Hill failed to complete the first lap, while further contact two laps later between Adam Al Azhari, August Raber and Ella Lloyd brought out the red flag. 

The race restarted behind the safety car with 10 minutes on the clock and light rain falling on sections of the circuit. With the entire grid still running slick tyres, chaos on the return to green-flag running was inevitable. By the end of the second lap, the safety car returned after a six-car incident. 

The race was called early to give the marshals time to clear the debris, awarding Molnár his first single-seater victory. McLaughlin crossed the line third but earned a one-place penalty for gaining an unfair advantage on Joslyn during the safety car restart. 

Race two was delayed by an hour because of inclement weather around the circuit. Drivers were sent out for two sighting laps to learn the conditions and clear some of the standing water before the race began behind the safety car. 

Once green-flag running resumed, third-placed Leo Robinson immediately applied pressure on teammate Thomas Bearman ahead, enabling polesitter Chase Fernandez to build a small gap. Fernandez, however, appeared to struggle in his first run on the new wet tyres, quickly slipping back through the pack to finish fifth. Robinson then passed Bearman with three laps left for his first win of the season.

Conditions improved significantly for Sunday’s race three. Joslyn again struggled off the line, dropping to fourth and promoting Salim Hanna to the lead. McLaughlin challenged Hanna through the opening laps before running wide in the back half of lap four and dropping through the field. 

Moments later, Bearman spun Fernandez at the final corner, and Joel Bergström flew over the Hitech’s rear end as the car slowed, bringing out the safety car. Once racing resumed, Joslyn made several attempts to overtake Molnár, including a bold move around the outside into the first chicane, though a compromised line helped the Hungarian regain second. 

Molnár then made a challenge of his own on teammate Hanna for the lead, taking the fastest lap in the process, though he fell to 0.975 seconds behind Hanna as the pair took Virtuosi’s first one-two finish in British F4.

USF Juniors: Vergara and Loiacono win as Escorpioni takes points lead

In the first of USF Juniors’ two Mid-Ohio rounds, João Vergara took his second win of the season in race one while Jay Howard Driver Development rookie Liam Loiacono took his maiden series win in race two. But the one to come out atop the standings was VRD Racing’s Leonardo Escorpioni, who finished third in both races and sits seven points ahead of Oliver Wheldon in the standings.

In race one, Vergara led at the start as Vilho Aatola fell from third to fourth after being passed by Wheldon at the start. Wheldon then passed Ty Fisher at the Keyhole on lap two and resisted the Canadian’s lunge on the inside of Turn 4 to maintain second.

Behind them, Loiacono overtook both JT Hoskins and Brenden Cooley to jump from ninth to seventh on lap five. The Australian then passed Aatola on lap 10 and Rodrigo González on lap 17 to enter the top five with four laps remaining.

Out front, Vergara took his second win of the season, followed by Wheldon and Escorpioni, who rounded out the podium after passing Fisher on lap 12. The Canadian finished fourth ahead of Loiacono, whilst Harley Keeble finished 10th on his series debut despite going off on lap three while running seventh and falling outside the top 15.

Race two took place in wet conditions and had to be started behind the safety car. After three laps under yellow, Vergara led the field, but he was passed by Loiacono around the outside of Turn 1 and fell to fourth after being overtaken by Keeble and Wheldon later in the first sector.

Keeble, who had jumped from sixth to second on the opening lap, then crashed at The Keyhole a lap later and was joined by Patricio González in the gravel. Their incidents brought out the safety car for the second time.On lap 10, the race resumed with Loiacono leading the field as Hudson Potter and Thomas Nordquist collided at Turn 1, bringing out the safety car once again.

Loiacono led the field when the race resumed three laps later as Vergara went off at Turn 11 while attempting to defend third from Escorpioni, rejoining the race in seventh. Vergara’s race went from bad to worse as he had another off at Turn 2 the next lap and pitted at the end of the lap with damage to his rear wing, which he had sustained earlier.

Despite a last-lap shootout after the safety car came out for Cooley’s off at Turn 9, Loiacono kept Wheldon at bay to score his maiden USF Juniors win ahead of the VRD Racing driver and Escorpioni, who took the points lead by finishing third. Fisher, who entered the round as the points leader, finished 16th after losing a lap during the early yellow flag period and now sits third in points, 19 points behind Escorpioni.
