F1 teams set for season-long British F4 Esports Championship battle

The entry list for this year’s British F4 Esports Championship has been released and it’s set to be a barnstorming fight for both the drivers’ and teams’ titles thanks to a plethora of Formula 1-affiliated outfits joining the grid.

Organised by governing body Motorsport UK, the eight-round competition kicks off with a visit to Brands Hatch’s Indy circuit, followed by a new addition to the series – Zandvoort.

Using iRacing’s FIA F4 car, teams representing Alpine, Aston Martin, Ferrari and Williams will battle it out for top honours, ably challenged by the likes of GUILD Racing, Apex Racing Academy, G2 Esports and BS+COMPETITION, among others.

The series will be supported by the UK FF1600 Esports Cup, which is set to be partnered by SimRigSupport.com for 2024. SimRigSupport.com provides technical support and expert hardware advice to sim racers of all levels, with ongoing and ad-hoc support plans available.

The UK FF1600 Esports Cup highlights up-and-coming sim racing talent with the top two in the championship set to be promoted to the F4 Esports field in 2025. 2024’s frontrunners, Henry Moore and Dan Amor, have found berths with GUILD Racing and Apex Racing Academy respectively this season, and will likely be among a huge group of front-running drivers.

Sadly, double champion Luke McKeown will not be defending his title but the grid is still chock-full of top esports talent. Scuderia Ferrari HP Esports Team boast the experienced lineup of Graham Carroll and Gergo Baldi, with G2 Esports’ Isaac Price and Jarl Teien of BS+ COMPETITION also set to challenge for victory in a stacked field. 

British F4 Esports Championship prizes

The British F4 Esports Championship winner will be invited to the star-studded Motorsport UK’s Night of Champions to receive their official British Championship Trophy alongside other victors from the prestigious BTCC, British GT Championship and British Rally Championship series.

Motorsport UK has listened to team feedback from previous seasons of British F4 Esports and focused on real-world motorsport opportunities and experiences to act as prizes for 2024.

As a result, the winning team will receive three entries into The Club100 Experience karting series, plus a 30-minute test session, with the second and third-place outfits receiving two and one entry respectively.

The top three teams will also receive a full day of intensive single-seater simulator training with a qualified engineer at Base Performance Simulators, with four hospitality tickets to a 2025 ROKiT British F4 Championship event available to the winning squad.

Traxion.GG will operate as the series’ media partner, with iRacing broadcasting every event on its Facebook, Twitch and YouTube channels.
