Henry Moore clinched the 2025 British F4 Esports Championship after his Team Benik teammate Remy Gilbert was unceremoniously punted off in the final round.
After 14 races, the destination of the 2025 British F4 Esports Championship came down to a straight fight between teammates Henry Moore and Remy Gilbert.
Moore, the runner-up in 2024, was an early favourite for top honours, but Gilbert stepped up his performances during the title run-in to put his Team Benik colleague under immense pressure.
The reversed grid race in Round 7, where Gilbert finished third while Moore could only muster 10th, allowed Gilbert the luxury of a 19-point lead heading into the eighth and final round from Brands Hatch GP.
However, in a season where the gap between the two drivers ebbed and flowed, there would be one final twist in the championship story.
Unsurprisingly, it was the two main protagonists on the front row of the grid for Race 1, heading up the 28-strong field. Gilbert held a slight advantage over Moore, with Azz Tech Racing’s Ghiless Jeanney taking a shock third position alongside TC Esports’ Dani Moreno.
Gilbert and Moore made equally good starts, with the pair running line astern in the opening laps. Behind, Moreno was deposed by Drive Lounge Racing’s Leo Brown, with the top five drivers breaking away from Agustin Torlaschi in sixth.
However, on lap five, Moore launched his car up the inside of Gilbert at Westfield bend, with the pair running side-by-side all the way to Clark Curve. Moore was now in the lead, while Gilbert was subsequently nerfed wide at Turn 1 by Jeanney as the pack bickered behind, dropping him to fifth.
Gilbert’s fightback came immediately with a dive down the inside of Moreno at Druids. Overtaking Jeanney would prove to be more problematic, however, but with three laps to go, Gilbert bravely hung it around the outside of the Azz Tech driver at Dingle Dell. With two wheels on the grass, Gilbert claimed the final podium position, giving him a slim points advantage heading into Race 2.
Up front, Moore took the win just ahead of Brown, teeing up a one-race shootout for the Drivers’ title.
With the top five finishers reversed for Race 2, Moore would start fifth, two positions behind Gilbert. Jeanney was on pole and would prove to play a pivotal role in the destination of the championship.
On lap two, Gilbert dived down the inside of Moreno at Paddock Hill Bend to claim second, with Moore struggling to make progress in fifth. His misery was almost compounded when Gilbert assumed the lead two laps later.
However, heading into Druids, the deposed Jeanney drove straight into the back of the champion-elect, sending him and his title hopes into the gravel. Gilbert recovered in 13th with light damage, but with Moore in fourth, he required a minor miracle to regain the lost ground.
Ironically, Moore made it past Jeanney cleanly before assuming second position after Brown ran wide at Clark Curve. Meantime, Gilbert had dropped off the back of the pack and was losing time to his teammate.
Gilbert managed to climb to 10th by the chequered flag, but it was not enough to topple Moore, who, despite some tension with Brown on the final lap, came home second to clinch the Drivers’ championship.
Moreno took the final win of the season, cementing TC Esports’ second position in the Teams’ championship.
The incident with Jeanney was a cruel way for Remy Gilbert to end his season, but this shouldn’t detract from Henry Moore’s impressive sophomore season, which saw him become the winningest driver in British F4 Esports history.
