Indy NXT, Euroformula Open, Eurocup-3, Spanish Formula 4 and F4 CEZ all raced this weekend, one dominated by F1’s Monaco Grand Prix and its support series. Feeder Series reviews the junior single-seater action you may have missed.

By Feeder Series

This weekend, most of the racing world was focussed on Monaco, where F1, F2 and F3 joined forces for the first time since Melbourne three months ago. The racing itself was intriguing if processional at times. Our lessons learned from F2’s fourth round will be published later today, with our takeaways from F3’s second event of 2026 to follow tomorrow.

Away from the Principality, there was plenty of activity in the other junior single-seater series this weekend between last-to-first victories, final-lap battles and a couple of spectacular accidents. Indy NXT’s first oval of the season at Gateway was the theatre for the first, while Euroformula Open, Eurocup-3, Spanish F4 and F4 CEZ had barnstorming races across events at Misano, Portimão and the Slovakia Ring. Keep reading to find out what happened in each.

Indy NXT: Rowe flies through the field in spectacular last-to-first win at Gateway

Myles Rowe took his first Indy NXT victory of 2026 at Gateway in a drive for the ages from 24th and last on the grid.

In qualifying, the 25-year-old saw his attempt forfeited for failing to follow directions after completing his run. The average speed Rowe set would have been good enough for the front row. Enzo Fittipaldi, who entered Gateway leading the championship, was also disqualified after his car failed to pass tech because of a fuel pump issue. 

Lochie Hughes claimed pole position ahead of Alessandro de Tullio, Max Taylor andJosh Pierson, giving Andretti Global three cars in the top four. Championship rivals Nikita Johnson and Tymek Kucharczyk started from the third row in fifth and sixth.

Before the race got underway, the HMD Motorsports car of Fittipaldi and the Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR car of Matteo Nannini were pushed back into their garages with fuel pump issues. While Fittipaldi was able to join the race without losing a lap, Nannini joined the race seven laps down.

Hughes kept the lead at the start as Pierson rose from fourth to second. Behind them, Rowe started carving his way through the field. By lap five of 75, the Abel Motorsports driver was up to 15th when he went side by side with Alexander Koreiba. The latter lost control of his car in Turn 3 and slammed into the SAFER barrier, causing the race’s first caution.

At the restart, Hughes and Pierson were locked in battle, with Pierson eventually taking the lead on lap 27. But all eyes were back on Rowe, who continued where he left off by flying through the field. By lap 32, the Abel Motorsports worked his way up to third place past Taylor.

Hughes and Pierson were more difficult to pass – until they caught lapped traffic. On lap 41, Hughes was held up slightly by James Roe, which gave Rowe the opportunity to steal second. On lap 47, Rowe passed Pierson going into Turn 3. What followed was a hard-fought battle for the lead that continued until lap 50, when Pierson finally gave in. Twenty-five minutes after starting dead last, Rowe was now officially leading.

He withstood two cautions, one on lap 55 for debris on track and a second on lap 61 after Yuven Sundaramoorthy, substituting for Nicolas Stati at Cape Motorsports, tagged Salvador de Alba exiting Turn 2, going airborne and sending the Mexican spinning into the inside wall

Having held off Pierson at the final restart, Rowe claimed his third career Indy NXT victory, all on ovals. De Tullio starred at the final restart to climb from sixth to second, while Pierson scored a season-best third ahead of Chip Ganassi Racing’s Niels Koolen, who took a career-best fourth place.. Taylor finished fifth, with polesitter Hughes sixth.

Johnson finished seventh, retaking the championship lead by two points from Fittipaldi, who finished 13th. Kucharczyk, whose streak of top fives ended with a ninth-place finish, remains third in the standings, five points behind Johnson.

Euroformula Open: First stumble for Yeh as championship leader outshone in Misano

Despite extending his championship lead, Enzo Yeh did not seem the fastest driver throughout an intriguing weekend at Misano.

Yeh lost out on pole by 0.347 seconds to rookie Javier Herrera, who had struggled at the season opener in Portimão but rebounded with two podiums in Spa.

Herrera got off the line well in race one, pumping in the fastest times of the race and pulling away from Yeh. Alessandro Famularo caught the back of Everett Stack and pressured him for the final podium position. Stack fended off Famularo’s overtake attempt on lap eight but wobbled exiting Curva del Carro on lap nine, which allowed Famularo through into third.

Surprisingly, Yeh could not hold a candle to Herrera, who came across the line with a gap of 3.391s between him and Yeh in second. Famularo rounded off the podium in third.

“The plan was to lead into Turn 1 and lead the whole race and that’s exactly what happened,” Herrera told Feeder Series after the race.

“I’m really happy with the progress we’ve made with the team and myself as a driver.… For sure now we can challenge for wins.”

Starting sixth in the reverse-grid race two, the Mexican was hard-pressed to win again. But with both Stack and Famularo stalling from the second row of the grid, Yeh and Herrera instantly gained two spots behind leader Dobrzański and second-placed Jesse Carrasquedo Jr.

After the opening lap, Dobrzański came under ever-greater pressure from Carrasquedo as his lead decreased. So did Yeh from Herrera, who had seemingly usurped him as the driver with world-beating pace – despite a sluggish getaway on the formation lap.

Famularo slid off into the gravel with a broken front-right wishbone after a collision with Aaron Ferrazzano on lap 10. The marshals seemed content to leave the car, and a lap later, Herrera finally got past Yeh for third at Carro when the Taiwanese driver lost the rear and drifted wide.

Dobrzański held onto his lead well until lap 16, when Carrasquedo lunged down the inside at Carro to swipe it from him. 

Carrasquedo pulled a gap to take his first victory in Euroformula Open, as Dobrzański clung to second ahead of Herrera in third. 

However, Herrera’s fate was ultimately decided in the stewards’ room. He was dealt a 20-second time penalty for reclaiming his grid spot at the start of the race despite stalling and dropping behind the pack. That left the Mexican off the podium, promoting Yeh to third again.

Race three’s grid put Carrasquedo first alongside Famularo. 

Yeh didn’t get away for the formation lap, meaning he had to start the race from the back of the grid.

All got away at the real start, though Famularo was swallowed by Stack and De la Torre, who jumped up to second and third respectively. 

New race winner Carrasquedo scampered clear at the front, while Yeh blazed through the pack to sixth by the end of lap four. The 17-year-old hounded Herrera and swept around his outside at Turn 1 on lap 10 to take fifth – but the 16-year-old reclaimed his position into Turn 4.

Carrasquedo ultimately won by 2.483 ahead of Stack. De la Torre, nearly eight seconds behind, never looked to have the leaders’ pace but held onto his podium 0.551s ahead of Herrera, who overtook Famularo for fourth on the final lap. 

Yeh remains atop the standings on 179 points, extending his lead over De la Torre on 114, as Stack jumps up to third on 106 points. Despite BVM’s strong weekend, Motopark still lead the teams’ standings 131–85.

Eurocup-3: Egozi does the double in Portimão to extend championship lead

James Egozi grew his gap at the top of the standings to 44 points over Keanu Al Azhari after sweeping Eurocup-3’s first race weekend on the Iberian Peninsula. The American driver leaves Portugal with 106 points and a total of six career victories at Portimão.

An aborted start meant that race one was shortened to 28 minutes plus one lap. A slow getaway for polesitter Christopher Feghali and a stall for Al Azhari off the front row allowed René Lammers to ease into the lead ahead of Egozi and Alex Powell. The leading pair continued battling, but the American driver edged ahead come the end of the first lap.

As they crossed the line to finish the lap, Feghali misjudged a move while in third-placed Powell’s slipstream, tagging the Campos driver’s rear-left and sending him spinning into the wall. Powell continued but later pitted to retire, while Feghali was handed a five-second post-race penalty for the incident, dropping him from third to ninth.

Two safety cars interrupted proceedings in race one. The first came on lap nine for Tommy Harfield, who spun into the Turn 8 gravel and got beached. The second came on lap 12 – the first lap of green-flag racing after the restart – when Patrick Heuzenroeder collided with Thomas Strauven and broke the Belgian driver’s suspension, earning himself a 10-second post-race penalty.

In the end, Egozi won for the fifth time in his career at Portimão and Lammers took his second runner-up finish of the season, barely fending off Feghali on track in a two-lap shootout after the final restart. Heitor Dall’Agnol then inherited third from the penalised Feghali.

From the front row, polesitter Egozi and Ean Eyckmans had clean runs off the line and into Turn 1. The same couldn’t be said, however, for the Palou Motorsport pair of Rafaël Pérard and Dall’Agnol from row two, as Powell overtook them both around the outside of the first corner. Behind them, an incident for Luca Viișoreanu beached him in the gravel at Turn 2, bringing out the first of three safety cars in the race.

The second safety car came out on lap five for a stricken Feghali, who had pulled off into the gravel at Turn 8. The third safety car came out three laps later when Pérard oversteered whilst diving down the inside of Powell at Turn 8, sideswiping the Jamaican-American driver and sending him momentarily airborne as he careered into the barrier. Pérard received a five-place grid penalty for his next race for causing the incident.

Once the race resumed at the end of lap 10, Egozi continued on unopposed to take not only his second victory of the weekend but also maximum points as he set the fastest lap on the 14th tour. He also led Palou Motorsport’s second 1-2 of 2026, this time ahead of Dall’Agnol, who had climbed the order between the safety car periods. Rounding out the podium was Al Azhari, who similarly climbed from eighth to third without incident.

Spanish F4: Coronel’s championship lead shrinks as Łyżeń wins twice 

Borys Łyżeń took two wins in Spanish F4’s second round at Portimão to close to within seven points of leader Rocco Coronel on 78 points, with Kasper Schormans now on 72 points after winning race three.

Jacob Micallef started race one from his maiden pole position but quickly fell behind Łyżeń, Noah Monteiro and Nathan Tye. The next lap, Jorden Moodley crashed into a stopped Luna Fluxá, who had spun exiting Turn 13, which brought out the safety car. The red flag was then flown on lap four.

Twenty minutes and a lap behind the safety car later, Łyżeń led the field to green ahead of Monteiro and Tye. Micallef suffered a puncture heading into Turn 1, while Daniel Kelleher spun Elliot Kaczynski into Miki Blascos’ right-rear corner at Turn 5, forcing the Spaniard to stop at Turn 10.

This triggered the next safety car deployment, while Louis Cochet’s collision with Andre Rodriguez at Turn 5 on lap 15 caused the second.

After this came a one-lap shootout, which Łyżeń completed unopposed on his way to victory ahead of Tye and Schormans. The four-way battle for third, which Schormans led, ended at Turn 10 when Kelleher hit Nacho Túñon, who in turn tagged T-Code teammate Andrej Petrović and flipped him into the gravel. The Serbian was uninjured, while Kelleher received a 10-second post-race penalty and dropped from fourth to 27th.

Race two polesitter Monteiro fended off Łyżeń in the opening corners until a collision between “Sam Urus” and Dani Mota brought out the safety car. Once racing resumed at the end of lap two, Łyżeń continued to pressure Monteiro and finally got past three laps later through Turn 14. 

The safety car was then deployed again, this time for a stranded Beau Lowette at Turn 4 after he made contact with Simón Bulbarella and Yuzuki Sato. Under the safety car, the Japanese newcomer also crashed into the back of Pablo Riccobono Bello, taking both out of the race.

Racing resumed with two laps to go, and Petrović, who had climbed from sixth to third, immediately got past Monteiro on the main straight for second. In the end, the Serbian driver had to settle for second as Łyżeń took his second win of the weekend.

T-Code locked out the front row for Sunday’s race, led by Petrović. There was once again an opening-lap safety car when Łyżeń spun Tye, who was beached at Turn 3. The red flag was flown on the following lap.

Fifteen minutes and two safety car laps later, Petrović and Túñon quickly built a small gap to the rest of the pack. The Spanish driver pressured his teammate for the lead, eventually getting past down the inside of Turn 5 on lap 10. 

Two more safety cars followed in quick succession. The first was for Alfons Miettinen, who sustained terminal damage after he collided with teammate Rodriguez at Turn 5. The second came on lap 13 when Jean-Paul Karras’ front-left suspension failed, careering him into the Turn 1 gravel.

Just like race one, a chaotic one-lap shootout ensued as Schormans and a swarm of Campos cars battled with one another for third. The Dutch driver prevailed to complete the podium behind Petrović and first-time winner Túñon as four cars retired on the last lap.

That result held until two hours later, when both T-Code drivers were later found to have fallen more than five car lengths behind the safety car at the restart, in contravention of the regulations. As a result, they were handed 30-second penalties, dropping them to 25th and 26th respectively. Schormans inherited the win ahead of maiden podium finisher Blascos and Coronel, who originally carved through the Campos battle to finish fourth and fifth.

F4 CEZ: Walther retakes points lead as Borenstein wins twice at Slovakia Ring

Teodor Borenstein won two out of four races at the Slovakia Ring after topping qualifying with a 2:02.995 despite having his best time deleted. He moved up to third in the standings, now led once again by David Walther with a 13-point margin over Elia Weiss.

Race one commenced midday Saturday, but it was shortened by three minutes Benett Gáspár had an issue on the formation lap. When it started, Borenstein led from the start before a safety car was deployed following an opening-lap incident between Alexandre Louza and Igor Polak in Turn 3.

After the restart with 11 minutes remaining, Borenstein remained in front ahead of Mathilda Paatz and Simon Rechenmacher. On the straight, however, the two Germans made contact, sending Paatz into a spin and dropping her to the back. Weiss briefly moved into second but was soon overtaken by Rechenmacher in Turn 13 a lap later.

The lead battle intensified on the final lap as Rechenmacher closed rapidly on Borenstein. The pair crossed the line side by side, separated by just 0.105s, with Borenstein holding on to win. However, Rechenmacher later received a 10-second penalty for his earlier collision with Paatz, dropping him to fourth and promoting Markas Šilkūnas to his maiden F4 CEZ podium. Harp Racing’s Piotr Orcholski finished fifth on his series debut.

Race two took place four hours later and began in chaotic fashion, with Paatz jumping from third to first in Turn 1. A first-lap safety car followed a multi-car incident in Turn 3 involving Andreas Lo Bue and Alexia Danielsson, while Francesco Pio Coppola also retired a lap later.

After the restart with 16 minutes remaining, Paatz quickly fell back as Walther, Rechenmacher and Dean Pedersen moved ahead. Max Karhan also joined the fight, passing into the top group by lap seven.

Walther and Rechenmacher broke away from the field, with the German closing in steadily. Attempts to pass around Turn 3 initially failed, but on the final lap, Rechenmacher and Walther battled side by side, with Rechenmacher prevailing to take his first F4 CEZ win, marking the first non-Jenzer or -Maffi victory in the series since April 2025. Karhan overtook Pedersen for third on the penultimate lap.

Borenstein held the lead as the final qualifying race began, while Weiss briefly passed Walther for second before the Dane reclaimed the position a lap later. Pedersen made early progress, climbing from sixth to fourth after overtaking Karhan and Šilkūnas.

A heavy crash between Piotr Orcholski and Mio Olert brought out the red flag with 17 minutes remaining. After a 20-minute stoppage, the race resumed behind a rolling start. Walther initially took the lead from Borenstein, but the Czech driver quickly fought back to regain first place. Pedersen briefly moved ahead of Walther, though he was unable to hold the position. 

A later incident involving Cezary Bień triggered a safety car, and the race ultimately finished under caution, giving Borenstein his second victory of the weekend from Walther and Pedersen. After the finish, Albert Písařík collided with Danielsson on the start-finish straight and received a five-second penalty.

Only 29 cars took to the start of race four, as Olert, Orcholski and Písařík withdrew. Walther overtook Borenstein for the lead at Turn 10 on the opening lap, while Simon Rechenmacher passed Borenstein for second a lap later. On the same lap, Aleksandar Bogunović was pushed wide while battling Weiss for fifth. The Slovenian fell to last, while the German received a post-race five-second penalty. 

A collision between Paatz and David Gorčica on lap four eliminated both drivers and brought out a safety car. Shortly after the restart on lap seven, Rechenmacher retired with a mechanical issue, promoting Pedersen to third. In the midfield, Ella Häkkinen and Lo Bue made contact, which dropped the McLaren junior to 24th.

Walther controlled the remainder of the race to win by nearly five seconds over Borenstein. Pedersen was later penalised, elevating Šilkūnas to another podium finish, though the results remain provisional as 11 drivers, among them Borenstein and Šilkunas, are under investigation over a technical non-conformity involving tail light loom covers.
