Feeder Series reviews the junior single-seater action over the weekend from Great Britain, Spain and Italy in the second part of our two-part weekend review, featuring interviews with a number of the frontrunners.

By Feeder Series

Yesterday, we chronicled the many championships that raced in the Americas, Asia and Oceania over the past few days. Now we turn the spotlight back to Europe, where warm September days brought plenty of activity to some of the continent’s most iconic venues.

We begin our tour at Monza in Italy, where Euroformula Open held three barnstorming contests that ended with a champion crowned a round early. Eurocup-3 also crowned its champion early – two rounds ahead of schedule, in fact – at Jerez, where Spanish F4 also held three races that tightened the championship battle.

England also featured nine races total between GB3, GB4 and British F4. In GB3 and British F4, the titles still remain alive, though mostly mathematically; their advantages are all but insurmountable. GB4 had the closest duel, but it was naturally resolved this weekend at Brands Hatch as the main season came to a close. Keep reading to find out how everything unfolded, and hear more about this weekend’s action on our most recent episode of Race Recap.

Euroformula Open: De la Torre’s valiant efforts quashed as Yeh clinches dominant 2026 title

Despite an eleventh-hour fightback from Diego de la Torre, the inevitable was realised at Monza as Motopark’s Enzo Yeh was crowned Euroformula Open’s 2026 champion.

Qualifying’s result was not unforeseen. Jesse Carrasquedo Jr rode a wave of momentum to third consecutive pole ahead of De la Torre and Yeh.

But neither Carrasquedo nor De la Torre got away well.

Yeh instantly inherited the lead ahead of Niccolò Maccagnani and Javier Herrera before an opening-lap safety car.

The race resumed on lap three with Yeh losing momentum after a lock-up at Rettifilo, yielding first to Herrera.

Maccagnani dropped to third on lap seven as the fighting allowed De la Torre into the leading pack. Herrera snatched the lead through Parabolica and De la Torre showed Maccagnani the gravel at Roggia – himself losing third to Niels Koolen into Lesmo 1.

Spectacular battling through the final laps eventually left De la Torre triumphant for his third win of the season ahead of Herrera and Famularo, with Yeh slipped down in sixth.

That meant Yeh started alongside Koolen on the front row for race two. The Dutchman stalled, allowing Maccagnani and Herrera into the podium positions behind Yeh.

Lap three saw Maccagnani get a run on Yeh down the main straight – the pair breaking from the pack as Herrera and De la Torre squabbled behind. 

Though Maccagnani took the lead, a back-and-forth ensued as the pack closed again. On lap six, Herrera, battling De la Torre, touched the gravel exiting Lesmo 1 and spun, triggering a safety car – but not before De la Torre went from third to first on the main straight and Yeh demoted Maccagnani to on the run to Roggia.

The lap 10 restart did not change the top three. Nor did a three-wide scrap the following lap, though Ferrazzano found himself fourth and challenging for a podium position.

The leaders swapped positions eight times by the final lap, with one last grassy dive from Yeh failing to make it nine. De la Torre snatched a second win of the weekend ahead of Yeh and Maccagnani, with Lorenzo Castillo dropped from fourth to eighth by a five second time penalty for overtaking off track.

Herrera got away well from reverse pole in race three while the pack swallowed Famularo alongside, with Maccagnani assuming second and De la Torre and Yeh pursuing.

That order was reshuffled on lap four after Yeh passed De la Torre into Turn 1. He then snatched second after Maccagnani bailed across the Roggia runoff and had to cede position to Herrera for bailing across the runoff.

Maccagnani was shovelled into the gravel by De la Torre the following lap, De la Torre losing third himself to Carrasquedo as a result.

He gained it back on lap eight as Yeh took the lead into Turn 1. On lap 10, De la Torre nearly picked off two in one but escaped across the run-off prematurely. The Mexican didn’t return the place until Parabolica with the pack gathered closely behind.

In doing so he dropped to fourth behind Yeh, Herrera and Carrasquedo. On lap 12, Herrera ceded second to Yeh.

Down the run to Ascari, De la Torre gained – success necessary to keep the championship contested into the final round. He brushed the grass as he took the outside line, title ambitions resting on this moment.

The pair moved closer as they postured for the racing line. And touched.

De la Torre’s suspension instantly bent, his car spinning into the gravel – his race and the championship over.

A safety car emergence and withdrawal by lap 14 helped Yeh take the lead. There he would remain until the end, leading home Carrasquedo and Dobrzański to claim his eighth victory of the season and the Euroformula Open drivers’ championship.

Motopark are 115 points ahead of BVM in the teams’ standings, while only two points separate Herrera and Dobrzański in the rookie standings.

Eurocup-3: Egozi seals title with two rounds remaining as Lammers scores maiden win

One year after Mattia Colnaghi took the championship with a round to spare at Jerez, Palou Motorsport’s James Egozi clinched the Eurocup-3 title at the same venue in even more crushing fashion, doing so with two rounds yet to be run. While the American walked away with the title and the race one win, René Lammers took his long-awaited maiden series victory to move himself up to second in points.

Egozi’s dominant form at Jerez began on Saturday, when he took pole for race one and held off Thomas Strauven at the start to maintain the lead on the opening lap. As Egozi pulled away from the rest of the field, Gino Trappa retired on the exit of Turn 6 with a rear-right puncture, but it took until Renzo Barbuy’s crash on lap four on the exit of Turn 10 for the safety car to be deployed.

There were two more safety car periods caused by Bianca Bustamante and Santino Panetta in the second half of the race, the latter incident’s intervention going until the end of the race. With that, Egozi sealed his eighth win of the season. Strauven took his maiden podium in the series, whilst Enzo Tarnvanichkul scored his first podium since the Paul Ricard opener.

Newcomer Maximilian Popov was on reverse-grid pole for the sprint race, but the Campos Racing driver fell to second at the start while Al Azhari took the lead. Behind them, James Hedley spun into the barriers at Turn 3, which brought out the safety car and later the red flag to repair the tyre barriers.

The race resumed with just over nine minutes to go, and just as in race one, it ended behind the safety car, triggered because Trappa was beached in the gravel at Turn 8. As a result, Al Azhari secured his third win of the season ahead of Popov and Rafaël Pérard, who took his third podium of the year.

On Sunday, the tide shifted in Lammers’ favour as he edged out Egozi by 0.017 seconds for pole in the third race of the weekend. The Dutchman got off well at the line and held the lead as a crash on the start-finish straight for Stylianos Kolovos and Stefan Bostandjiev, compounded by a collision between Kacper Sztuka and Hedley at Turn 4, forced the safety car to be deployed on the opening lap.

Lammers held on to the lead from there, and though Egozi tried his best on the restart lap on lap four, no one was able to deny the Dutchman his maiden Eurocup-3 win. Egozi sealed the championship with a staggering 122-point gap over Lammers with four races yet to be contested, whilst Heitor Dall’Agnol rounded out the podium in third.

In fifth, a monster effort from Dani Maciá gave him his maiden Eurocup-3 points on his debut with Tecnicar.

While the overall championship has already been sealed, the battle for second is still yet to be settled with 22 points separating Lammers, Al Azhari and Ean Eyckmans as the championship heads to the Hungaroring.

“I’m at quite a loss for words, but just super, super grateful to everybody,” Egozi said after clinching the Eurocup-3 title.

“Starting at Paul Ricard, qualifying was pretty average, then a really good win to start off the season in race one. Further along, a good podium in the sprint, then unfortunately lost to Keanu in the second race.

“In Portimão, we had a double victory, so that was great. Imola should have been a double victory, just luck wasn’t on our side with the fuel pump breaking down, so I retired from the lead. Then Monza, very chaotic races, but we came through with both wins, which was incredible and it was probably one of the highlights of the season.

“Silverstone, just consistency with the P3 and then P1 in the wet, which was my first proper wet race. Then here we are now. We’re still only six rounds into the championship, but one, two sprint races aside, it’s been quite a season.”

GB3: Another dream weekend for Fairclough as Fluxá finally comes out on top

Hitech’s Deagen Fairclough took two more wins at Brands Hatch this weekend in GB3, storming to second in the overall standings, while Xcel Motorsport’s Lucas Fluxá took his first win of the season.

The top spot in the first qualifying session belonged to Fairclough, who flew to pole with a 1:16.451. Xcel Motorsport’s Rowan Campbell-Pilling slotted into second, 0.224 seconds behind Fairclough, while Rodin Motorsport’s Maxim Rehm took third. The second qualifying session also went the way of Fairclough, with Campbell-Pilling second again, but this time it was championship leader Nikita Bedrin who took third.  

Fairclough got a good start to race one, immediately pulling away from the rest of the field. Rehm, who had started in fourth, also had a lightning start and made it up to second into the first corner, ahead of both Bedrin and teammate Abbi Pulling.

This gave Fairclough the opportunity to pull away, which became the story of the remainder of the race. He held an eight-second gap over Rehm with eight minutes to go and a lead of 14.392s over Rehm at the flag, the fourth-largest winning margin in series history. Bedrin came home third, with Pulling finishing 10th after tumbling down the order early on.

Race two saw Fairclough get another flying start, this time ahead of Campbell-Pilling, who managed to hold off Bedrin despite a slow start. The race was quickly neutralised, however, by a safety car caused by an off into the gravel for Hillspeed’s Aurelia Nobels at Surtees as the first lap ended.

When the race restarted, Fairclough continued to grow his lead, holding off Campbell-Pilling once again. A mechanical issue for Pulling, previously fourth, meant she had to pit and retire from the race. 

The sheer pace of the Hitech and Xcel Motorsport machines meant Bedrin had little hope of catching up. He settled for the final podium position, with Campbell-Pilling second behind Fairclough, who took his seventh win of the season with a margin in excess of seven seconds.

Though he fell short of the win, Campbell-Pilling’s second place marked his fifth time standing on the GB3 podium this season. “Deagen’s pace was electric,” Campbell-Pilling told Feeder Series after the race. “Equally, to be where we are in our first year and doing what we are doing is incredible.”

With the partial grid reversal for race three, it was Hillspeed’s Peter Bouzinelos who started from pole followed by Fu and VRD Racing’s Patricio Gonzalez. But a flying start for Lucas Fluxá saw him take the lead into Turn 1 from fourth on the grid. Fu held onto second while Dante Vinci took third position from teammate Bouzinelos, who had got a much worse start.

While the frontrunners squabbled, Bedrin was investigated for a false start, which resulted in a 10-second time penalty. With that, his chances of taking the championship on the penultimate weekend slowly evaporated.

Fluxá never had the opportunity to pull away, as Fu stayed hot on his heels. On lap 13, GB3 returnee Kanato Le took third position from Vinci, a spot he held for the remainder of the race. Le pushed hard and closed to within 1.276s of Fluxá, who took his first win since the Donington Park GB3 round last year..  

“This weekend has been all about damage limitation,” Fluxá told Feeder Series after the race. “I managed to stay constant and made no mistakes.” 

Fu’s podium was also his first ever in GB3. “My start wasn’t very good,” he told Feeder Series post-race. “We managed to keep the pace and keep the gap, so a [second-place] finish isn’t a bad result for us.” 

The championship fight will now go down to Barcelona for the final round of the season. Bedrin still leads on 445 points, while Fairclough’s amazing weekend moves him up to second on 356 points. Fluxá’s win was enough to keep him in mathematical contention at one point behind Fairclough, with Martin Molnár in fourth on 351 points also still able to win.

GB4: O’Grady clinches title over Green at Brands Hatch finale

KMR Sport’s Alex O’Grady finished a successful season in style by being crowned the 2026 GB4 champion. 

Title rival Fred Green took a double pole position on Saturday afternoon with a 1:24.230, ahead of Fortec Motorsport’s Thomas Ingram Hill, who was 0.137 seconds back from the Elite driver.  O’Grady took third position, 0.302s back.  

Race one saw a great launch from Green to control the start of the race. Ingram Hill lost out to O’Grady, now set to receive more of the points he needed for the title. A safety car caused by an incident involving Arden Motorsport’s Solenn Amrouche brought the field back together at the end of the lap, meaning Green would have to get a perfect restart to hold off a chasing O’Grady.

He did so and fended off O’Grady right until the end, taking his fifth win of the season. O’Grady settled for second, while Ingram Hill took the final podium position.  

Race two had drama even before the start with both Douglas Motorsport cars experiencing car troubles on the formation lap and failing to start the race. This didn’t hinder Green, however, as he got his second lightning start of the weekend. Ingram Hill once again lost out on second position to O’Grady, who had the chance to win the championship in this race.

Green built a gap to the tune of several tenths per lap to O’Grady, who also had to keep Ingram Hill at bay. With four minutes to go, Green held an advantage of four seconds over O’Grady, who was still sitting in a championship-winning position in the race.

A collision between KMR Sport’s Lily-May Watkins and Fortec Motorsport’s Jordyn Martin brought out the yellow flags on the penultimate lap, but this didn’t trouble the race leaders. While Green crossed the line in first in what he said was his ‘best race yet’, second place for O’Grady meant that he could finally call himself the 2026 GB4 champion. Ingram Hill took the final podium position.

“It feels amazing,” O’Grady told Feeder Series after the race. “All year we’ve just been so consistent, always on the podium really – the team have done a great job all year.” 

Arden’s Michael Koh started on pole for race three, followed by Elite Motorsport’s Matan Achituv. After two formation laps as rain began to fall,  Koh held onn to the lead into Turn 1 as the lights went out, with Achituv keeping second position and Connor Willis slotting into third.

Francisek Cegielski tagged Emmilio Valentino Del Grosso through Paddock Hill Bend two minutes into the race, sending the Elite driver tumbling through the order from fourth position. Koh continued to lead all the way to the flag but couldn’t escape Achituv, who stayed hot on his heels. Willis in third also faced pressure from Conor Grant but managed to keep him at bay to round out the podium, with Grant eventually classified 12th after receiving a combined 15 seconds of track limits penalties.

After O’Grady took the title in race two, meaning he also won £50,000 to go towards his 2027 racing campaign. Green held on to second position overall and took the win in the George Russell Pole Position Cup, while Hillspeed’s Enzo Hallman secured third. Elite Motorsport took the teams’ title and also won the David Poole-Warren Pole Position Cup for teams. Cegielski won the rookie title, while Jordyn Martin was the highest-placed female driver on the grid, also securing herself €50,000 towards her 2027 campaign.

Spanish F4: Monteiro wins twice in Jerez to edge closer to championship lead

Campos’ Noah Monteiro was the star of Spanish F4’s Jerez round, winning twice to propel himself firmly into the title fight, seven points adrift from championship leader Kasper Schormans, with two rounds remaining.

The Portuguese driver’s strong form started on Saturday, as he took pole for race one and led the way at the start. Fourth-place starter Elliot Kaczynski dropped to eighth after a brief trip through the gravel on the exit of Turn 1, and his misfortunes continued when he tangled with Drivex teammate Nathan Tye at the Turn 11 chicane, sending them back to 10th and 17th respectively.

At the start of lap three, the safety car was deployed because of Rahim Alibhai’s crash on the exit of the final corner, which then became a red flag to clear out the debris.

From the lap seven restart, Monteiro never looked back as he secured his maiden Spanish F4 win, with Campos teammate Vivek Kanthan and MP’s Schormans trailing him at the flag.

“[My] last win was in the winter, so I’m really happy to get it done,” Monteiro said. “[The cascading safety car periods] can affect the driver, but I think I kept pretty calm and with the help of my mental coach and my team, I just maintained calm because I knew I had the pace. To be honest, I just pushed the first lap and after that, I just saved the tyres and it was fine.”

Monteiro was once again on pole for race two, and his good launch off the line helped him maintain the lead ahead of Borys Łyżeń. Zoe Florescu found herself in the gravel at Turn 2 and thus forced the safety car to be deployed.

When the race restarted on lap three, Monteiro kept Łyżeń at bay before slowly pulling away from the Pole. That advantage was eviscerated when Maria Neto, Ryusho Nakazato and Lucas Pasquinetti collided on lap five, neutralising the race yet again.

As Monteiro led on the lap nine restart, Schormans forced his way past Andrej Petrović to take fifth at Turn 2. Monteiro led all 14 laps to take his second consecutive win of the weekend as Łyżeń and Kaczynski completed the podium.

On Sunday, Rocco Coronel put himself in the mix by qualifying on pole for race three, with teammate Łyżeń alongside. The Dutchman held off his teammate to keep the lead on the opening lap as Schormans moved into second at Turn 5, leaving Łyżeń to defend from Monteiro.

Coronel spent most of the first third of the race keeping Schormans at bay, before the red flag was thrown at the end of lap six for Miki Blascos’ flipped car at Turn 12. On lap 10, just after the restart, Jensen Burnett and Juste Mulder collided at Turn 2, which necessitated another safety car period.

When the action resumed on lap 13, Łyżeń ran wide at Turn 6 while battling with Schormans and fell to fifth, though he reclaimed fourth from Daniel Kelleher at Turn 9. Just after, the safety car was deployed yet again because of Sebastián Frigolet’s stricken car on the exit of Turn 5. With the race ending behind the safety car, Coronel took his third win of the season ahead of Schormans and Monteiro.

Schormans continues to lead the way heading into Navarra on 182 points, seven ahead of Monteiro and 20 ahead of MP teammate Łyżeń. Coronel and Petrović round out the top five on 144 and 138 points respectively.

British F4: Van Langendonck inches closer to title ahead of the final round

British F4 returned to Silverstone after its first trip back in May, taking on the shorter National circuit layout, where Dries Van Langendonck put his championship lead at a nearly unassailable 72 points ahead of the final round at Brands Hatch, where 75 points are on offer. 

In a split qualifying session, Van Langendonck claimed both pole positions ahead of main championship rival Lewis Wherrell, though the turning point of the weekend came early on in race one. 

First, Wherrell challenged Van Langendonck for the lead immediately, taking the inside line at Copse before passing him into Maggotts. But then came a safety car, and at the restart, Wherrell threw it all away by wobbling at Copse, going wide and spinning off in the gravel while Van Langendonck pressured him. 

The resulting safety car lasted for almost 10 minutes, leaving only 4:37 left for any racing action. Theo Palmer remained close to Van Langendonck but was unable to make a move. Van Langendonck finished 0.540 seconds ahead of Palmer by the end of the race, with Joseph Smith taking the final podium place after surviving early contact with Ethan Lennon.

Tommy Harfield produced a strong start off the line in race two, with Smith and Palmer gaining the most positions inside the top 10. On lap five, Chiara Bättig passed Smith for fourth in a move that later sealed a podium finish. Van Langendonck, who started 12th, pushed through the pack to snatch ninth away from Cole Hewetson on lap 14 and slot in right behind Wherrell. 

On the final lap, Wherrell spun and made contact with Ethan Lennon whilst battling for seventh, and Van Langendonck went past his rival. After penalties were applied, the McLaren junior finished sixth and Wherrell seventh.

Harfield finished 1.365s ahead of Jarrett Clark, securing his first win of 2026 after a difficult campaign so far. Arjen Kräling had been second on track before receiving a five-second time penalty for exceeding track limits before the race ended, promoting Clark to second and Bättig, who shined at the track in July on her F1 Academy debut, into third.

“It’s always good to drive around Silverstone,” Bättig told Feeder Series. “I know the track quite well, always being on this track gives you a lot of experience. Obviously, you don’t want to end up on the podium like that. You would rather finish third on the road, so I’m a bit gutted about that, but I’m happy to get a podium and happy to get silverware.”

In race three, Bättig stalled on the grid, causing Cameron Nelson to clip the side of her car and send debris flying all over the straight. The incident resulted in a red flag.

On the restart, Van Langendonck retained his lead ahead of Wherrell, while Palmer passed Lennon for third. 

The Belgian driver began to pull away from second place early on, with Wherrell also building a gap to Palmer behind him. In the middle of the race, Palmer sped up and looked as if he would challenge Wherrell for second, but the Emirati dropped back during the closing stages.

Crossing the line 1.124s ahead of Wherrell, Van Langendonck took his eighth win of the season – and second of the weekend – to extend his lead in the championship. He now sits 72 points ahead of Wherrell with three races left at Brands Hatch and holds the lead in the Rookie Cup by 23.5 points. Palmer remains third overall but has decreased the gap to Wherrell ahead of him to 8.5 points, while his Hitech team continue to lead over Rodin, albeit with their advantage decreasing to 83.5 points.
