In a tight season-long battle it was Ferrari Esports’ Graham Carroll who claimed top honours in the final round of the British F4 Esports Championship, with Guild Esports taking a maiden Teams’ title.

The season-long battle between Henry Moore and Graham Carroll for the 2024 British F4 Esports Championship came down to the final round at Brands Hatch.

Moore, Guild Academy’s young rookie, held the upper hand on his veteran opponent for six of the opening seven rounds but an incident in the first race of Round 7 – ironically with Carroll’s team-mate Gergo Baldi – dented his hopes, leaving Carroll with a comfortable lead for the final two races.

Moore was also hit with a non-qualifying penalty for failing to hold the brakes in the same incident, making his championship hopes even more remote.

It turned out to be an anti-climatic denouement to the championship, however, with Carroll easing his Ferrari Esports’ F4 car to the Drivers’ crown in Race 1 thanks to a measured performance. The Teams’ title was another matter, though, with Guild Esports leading Ferrari by just 15 points as Round 8 approached.

With the UK FF1600 Esports Cup title fight also balanced on a knife edge it was to be a night of fraught battling, with championships on the line right to the end.

Race 1

Surprisingly, G2 Esports’ Isaac Price took pole position for Race 1, followed by Matt Caruana, Remy Gilbert and Carroll respectively. Moore, on the other hand, was way down in 23rd.

Price, eager to put his connection issues in Round 7 behind him, made a sluggish start, allowing Caruana into the lead at Paddock Hill Bend. Carroll maintained fourth and was ably supported by his team-mate Baldie behind, helping fend off the attentions of Guild Esports’ Leo Brown.

The top three were line astern for the majority of the race, with Carroll sensibly leaving them to it. With Moore failing to make sufficient progress through the field, a decent points finish was all that was required for Carroll to win the Drivers’ title.

On the penultimate lap, Guild Esports’ Gilbert made a dive down the inside of Price at Druids, making the move stick on the way to Graham Hill Bend. Crucially, this gave Guild an edge over Ferrari in the Teams’ title battle.

Caruana took a comfortable win – his second in a row – from Gilbert, with Price claiming his first podium of the season in third. Carroll secured fourth and the championship, as Moore, despite a valiant effort, could only take 12th.

Race 2

Guild held an advantage for Race 2 as Leo Brown claimed the reverse grid pole position, but Baldi and Carroll weren’t far behind, sitting third and fourth on the grid respectively.

The final event of the season turned out to be a cagey affair. With the title sewn up, Carroll’s focus was on the Teams’ championship, and for most of the race he held station behind his team-mate.

Brown successfully held off the advances of Williams Esports’ Moreno Sirica until the second half of the race, as the Italian made a fine move at Hawthorn Bend. Baldi tried to capitalise but failed, finally allowing Carroll a shot at the top two with five laps remaining. Baldi was now tasked with holding off the gaggle of cars behind, including Guild’s Remy Gilbert.

Carroll, meanwhile, was on the front foot. He slid through into second at Paddock before launching an almost carbon copy move on Sirica on the penultimate lap.

After this, the live Teams’ points standings showed Guild leading by just six. A drive through penalty for Baldi scuppered any chance Ferrari had, however.

The race finished with Carroll, Sirica and Brown on the podium, with Caruana fourth and Gilbert claiming fifth, cementing Guild’s Teams’ title. Henry Moore brought his Guild Academy car home in sixth but would’ve run Carroll close if not for a couple of crucial flashpoints during the championship run-in.

Carroll, however, was a deserving 2024 British F4 Esports Championship champion, showing consummate racecraft to back up his pace.

He will be invited to the star-studded Motorsport UK Night of Champions event to receive his official British Championship Trophy alongside BTCC champion Jake Hill and British Rally Championship victor Chris Ingram, among others.

The final round of the 2024 British F4 Esports Championship gets underway tonight, with Graham Carroll and Henry Moore in a close battle for top honours.

The 2024 British F4 Esports Championship title fight has been an absolute cracker so far, with Guild Academy’s Henry Moore and Scuderia Ferrari HP Esports Team’s Graham Carroll engaged in a season-long fight for top honours in the Motorsport UK-sanctioned series.

The sixth round of the British F4 Esports Championship saw Ferrari Esports’ Graham Carroll narrow the gap to Guild Academy’s Henry Moore after two podiums.

The 2024 British F4 Esports Championship’s two main protagonists, Henry Moore and Graham Carroll, had an eventful round at Silverstone.

Finishing first and fourth in Race 1 was as good as it got for the pair, however, as they came to blows in Race 2. Both failed to score.

Race 1

Race 2

The reversed grid draw saw Moore start from third position, instantly making him the favourite for victory. Aston Martin’s Connor Muir would start first alongside Prismatic Motorsports’ Olivia Hayward, with Graham Carroll starting way down in 12th.

Moore signalled his intentions early by making a quick getaway, scything inside Muir to lead by Turn 1. It got much worse for Muir soon after, as he tried to go side-by-side with Samuele Villa through the Chicane. The resulting contact left him floundering at the back of the pack.

Those thinking Moore would disappear into the distance didn’t count on the abilities of Mensah Racing Driven By Us’ Ronnie Smith, who had already taken his first win at Oulton Park in what was his debut season.

The pair traded places throughout the race but were able to extend the gap to the chasing pack until the latter stages. Guild’s Leo Brown, who won the opening event of the season before suffering a drop in form, closed the gap on the leaders, dragging the imperious Carroll along with him.

With a handful of laps left, any one of the leading quartet was in the frame for victory, with Carroll and Brown showcasing incredible skill to settle their battle for third without incident. Carroll was now on the rostrum and launched a last-lap, around-the-outside move on Smith at Taylor’s hairpin.

Last Lap Drama

Smith appeared to leave enough room for Carroll on the corner’s exit, but the front right of the Ferrari car tangled with the left rear of Smith’s, sending the latter into the barrier and out of the race. It was a contentious ending, especially given Smith’s excellent race-long duel with Moore.

Moore claimed the win, with Carroll taking second on the road ahead of Brown, allowing Guild Esports to close in on Ferrari in the Teams’ Championship. Carroll closed the gap on Moore to 22 points with five races remaining, with the pair once again displaying their championship credentials.

2024 British F4 Esports Championship contenders Henry Moore and Graham Carroll had an event to forget at Silverstone, as the pair clashed in the reversed grid second race.

In what was quickly becoming a common theme in the 2024 British F4 Esports Championship, Guild Academy’s Henry Moore and Scuderia Ferrari HP Esports Team’s Graham Carroll racked up a glut of points during Round 4’s double-header at Oulton Park, with the title increasingly looking like it was headed in their direction.

Despite Matt Caruana’s absence from the Cheshire-based event, the Mensah Racing Driven By Us driver remained in third position in the title race, some 98 points adrift of Moore in first, and seemingly out of the reckoning.

Despite the respectful battling of Moore and Carroll thus far, Round 5 at Silverstone’s Grand Prix layout would prove to be a rambunctious affair, with the title protagonists finding themselves embroiled in a chaotic Race 2 incident that may well have big championship repercussions.

Race 1

Moore bossed qualifying for the third round on the trot, with Carroll once again sharing the front row, just over a tenth of a second behind. Joseph Loake, driving for the Aston Martin Aramco Esports Team, was a fine third, in what was something of a departure from his usual FIA Formula 3 machinery.

Moore got off the line quickly, with Carroll slotting in behind through the first sequence of turns. A huge incident further back saw Caruana rear-ended by William Chadwick after the former spun on the Woodcote kerbs.

For the latter, it was the third major incident in as many rounds, likely putting an end to both drivers’ championship challenge.

Heading towards Stowe on lap three, Carroll drafted past Moore for the lead, with Moore returning the favour on lap five. Loake was in close attendance but subsequently dropped two positions at The Loop after Pablo Espes of Willaims Esports Academy forced an opening, also allowing his Williams Esports stablemate Moreno Sirica through.

The leading pack of six were now locked in a slipstreaming battle for the lead, with Espes maneuvering his way into second as Carroll attempted to hold off the advances of Loake.

Heading onto the final lap, Espes was right on Moore’s gearbox, with the battle for the final podium slot far from finished. In fact, Sirica, Loake and Carroll began the final tour side-by-side, with Loake holding on for third. Carroll overtook Sirica for fourth, but lost ground to Moore in the championship as the young Englishman held off Espes to claim victory.

Race 2

The reversed grid draw saw 11th place Elias Raikaa claim pole position for Race 2, with few predicting the kind of chaos we were about to witness.

Raikaa cleared off out front as the pack behind engaged in some hairy two and three-wide battling. Carroll and Moore failed to make significant progress in the early reckoning, but worse was to follow at the start of lap two.

Carroll’s Ferrari team-mate Gergo Baldi found himself sandwiched into the high-speed Abbey curve, which bunched the pack up behind – including Moore and Carroll. Baldi sustained race-ending damage by clashing with Guild Esports’ Leo Brown, eventually retiring at Luffield.

The action continued through the rest of the lap, with Carroll desperately trying to keep Moore at bay with a visibly hobbled car. Chadwick pulled an outside move on the Scot heading into Club, but the pair tangled.

Guild’s Leo Brown tried to go around the outside of stablemate Moore in the aftermath but effectively pinned him against the recovering Carroll, causing the two main championship protagonists to collide, with Carroll’s car heading skyward.

It was a clumsy sequence of corners from the British F4 Esports field, and it would sadly set the tone for the incident-packed race.

Out front, Raikaa had been caught by Williams Esports Academy’s Matthijs van Erven, with the pair enjoying a two-second gap to the podium fight behind; including Loake, Williams Esports’ Alexander Spetz and Sirica, Aston Martin’s Conor Muir and Guild Esports’ Remy Gilbert.

More incidents in the midfield led to just 17 cars running at mid-distance, as van Erven encountered tyre issues and fell into the clutches of Loake, losing second place in the process. On the final lap, van Erven would clash with his WIlliams Esports stablemate Sirica, gifting Sptez the podium at the line. No doubt the team debrief was a frosty affair.

BS+ Compeition’s Raikaa would take an assured victory, with Joseph Loake claiming a double podium from Round 5.

The chaos of Silverstone sees Henry Moore extend his lead to Graham Carroll at the top of the championship, with Carroll’s Ferrari Esports team heading the Teams’ points.

Guild Academy’s Henry Moore once again impressed in the third round of the 2024 British F4 Esports Championship from Snetterton, extending his championship lead over Scuderia Ferrari HP Esports Team’s Graham Carroll, taking his first win in the process.

Carroll and Moore were in a three-way fight at the top of the table with Mensah Racing Driven By Us’ Matt Caruana, who would unfortunately be absent from Round 4 at Oulton Park, despite showing impressive early-season form.

While Oulton’s International layout would prove to be a stern challenge for Moore and Carroll, thanks to inclement weather and an unfavourable reverse grid draw for Race 2, but it showcased their talents perfectly, with the pair emerging from the chaos as the championship’s two main protagonists.

Race 1

Moore navigated the foggy qualifying session for Round 4 best of all, taking his second consecutive pole position. Championship nemesis Carroll would line up alongside the rookie for Race 1, just over a tenth-of-a-second behind.

G2 Esports’ Isaac Price was an impressive third, while 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship driver Joseph Loake was a surprise fourth, driving for the Formula 1-affiliated Aston Martin Aramco Esports Team.

The race got underway with Moore heading Carroll, while further back an incident at the Shell Oils hairpin eliminated the unfortunate Giuseppe Lo Faro of AZZ Tech Racing by Grid Finder.

With neither Carroll nor Moore willing to risk their heavy points-scoring positions, the battle for first was a cagey affair, with Carroll’s attempts at overtaking tempered by his reluctance to lose track position to the chasing pack.

With Price falling back, Loake took up the mantle as Carroll’s foremost threat, eventually slotting into second position after Carroll lost momentum after a failed pass on Moore.

Although Loake reeled in the leader, he couldn’t find a way through the assured youngster’s defences and had to settle for second. Carroll consolidated in third, losing more ground to Moore in the championship as a result.

Race 2

The reversed grid draw saw Moore starting from 14th on the grid, which, around the tight confines of the Cheshire circuit, would give Race 2 an element of randomness notwithstanding the heavy rainfall now moving over Little Budworth. Composure would be key here and Moore had already shown plenty of it.

G2 Esports’ Joni Katlia started cleanly from pole position, with Remy Gilbert almost immediately coming to strife on the exit of Turn 1, running wide onto the grass. The Guild driver completed an awful opening lap by spinning at Hislop’s after a clumsy-looking move. Carroll made the most progress of the frontrunners on the first tour, climbing from 12th to eighth.

Further back in 13th, Moore was making tentative progress, which was more than could be said of Loake. The Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver had jumped up to 11th place on the opening lap but undid all his hard work with a high-speed spin at Island Bend, rejoining in 20th.

Up front, Katila was making the most of his unobscured vision to hold the lead, with Guild’s Leo Brown acting as lead chaser, eager to regain his early season form.

Williams Esports’ Beckham Jacir had just made a bold outside overtaking move on Mensah Racing Driven By Us’ Ronnie Smith for third position with five minutes gone, before mysteriously heading for pitlane.

Turning Point

This allowed Carroll’s Ferrari team-mate Gergo Baldi into fourth – but not for long. The Hungarian was tapped into a high-speed spin at Old Hall by a combination of Will Murdoch and Will Chadwick, the pair not helped by the treacherously wet surface.

Chadwick later accepted blame for the incident, having locked up under braking after being squeezed to the outside of the track by Murdoch. The ensuing damage eliminated Baldi and Murdoch from points-scoring contention, with Chadwick able to continue behind Smith.

However, Carroll was now hot on his heels, eager to capitalise on Moore’s midfield placing. It would be Chadwick making moves, though, as he slotted past Smith at the Shell Oils hairpin before pouncing on Brown’s mistake at Old Hall to go second.

Chadwick’s progression continued, as with around five minutes to go he slotted through into first position after Katila made a mistake at Lodge. In his eagerness to make a move on Katila, Brown looped it at Druids, promoting both Smith and Carroll up one position.

Brown spun again, allowing Moore to climb just behind Carroll in the standings, albeit with a five-second deficit. Sensing a chance to eat into Moore’s championship lead, Carroll launched a superb move around the outside of Katila at Cascades, with both cars squirming across the soaking wet asphalt.

The Scotsman emerged ahead on the run to Island Bend, but with only one lap left, there wasn’t enough time to reel in the front two.

Chadwick took the win on the road, with Smith coming home a fine second in his first-ever British F4 Esports event. Carroll was third, with Kitala and Moore finishing fourth and fifth respectively.

However, a post-race penalty for Chadwick elevated Smith to the top step of the podium, with Carroll also benefiting with some extra points. Chadwick still kept his podium finish, albeit after a 5s penalty.

Even though we’re only at the halfway point in the championship, the British Championship laurels appear to be heading in the direction of Henry Moore or Graham Carroll. And with both drivers showing unflappable consistency thus far, the fight is too close to call.

Round 2 of the 2024 British F4 Esports Championship saw Guild Academy’s Henry Moore move to the top of the standings after a disastrous event for his Guild Esports stablemates Remy Gilbert and Leo Brown at Zandvoort.

Scuderia Ferrari HP Esports Team’s Graham Carrol looked like he’d head into Round 3 as championship leader, only for a Race 2 incident to scupper his chances.
With Guild and Carroll eager to make amends at Snetterton, alongside the emerging threat of Matt Caruana, Moore would surely have his work cut out for him.
As it turned out, the young rookie had the measure of everyone.

Race 1

Moore showed his intentions early on during Round 3, securing pole position by just 0.045s from Mensah Racing Driven By Us’ Caruana, with Gilbert taking third less than half-a-tenth behind.

The top four positions remained static until the Bentley Straight on lap two, as Caruana drafted past Moore and into the lead. On lap eight, Moore launched an aggressive move on Caurauna to regain first, but this only lasted one lap as Caruana returned the favour.

The pair raced cleanly and mostly side-by-side for the next few corners, with Gilbert assisting his Guild stablemate with a bump-draft down the Bentley Straight. In the subsequent commotion, Carroll snatched third, while Caruana consolidated first.

On the final lap, Moore had to focus on the challenge from Carroll behind rather than the lead battle in front, with Caruana making sure of the win by weaving to deter any slipstreaming.

The top three remaining in that order to the chequered flag with Gilbert close behind in fourth.

Race 2

The reversed grid draw for Race 2 saw Ferrari Esports’ Gergo Baldi start from pole position, with Caruana lining up sixth.

It didn’t take long for one of the frontrunners to hit trouble, as Gilbert misjudged his braking into Agostini and collected the rear of FreeM UK by Altitude eSports’ Will Chadwick. Unbelievably, Chadwick was able to continue in second position with Carroll and Moore hot on his heels.

Carroll attempted an outside move on Chadwick at Agostini but was shoulder-barged wide, dropping a position to Caruana in the process. The Scot regained the position on the next tour, which would soon prove crucial.

Up front, Moore and Baldi made contact heading towards the Bombhole, with Chadwick slotting down the inside of the Hungarian. Unfortunately, Baldi tried to hang it around the outside and tagged the rear-left of Chadwick who spun into retirement.

Carroll capitalised on the duo’s misfortune to jump into second position, with Baldi failing to hold off Caruana after some close-quarters fighting near pitwall. Playing the team game, Baldi held his opponent off long enough to allow team-mate Carroll to ease out of slipstreaming range.

With matters seemingly decided up front, the focus fell on Guild Esports’ Leo Brown, who had spectacularly gained 16 positions and was now in the fight for fourth. With two laps to go, Brown passed Baldi at Brundle, capping a remarkable comeback drive after a disappointing Race 1.

Heading onto the final lap, Carroll was tantalisingly close to the back of Moore but the young Englishman didn’t give his more experienced rival a look-in, topping off a commensurate performance. Caruana came home a distant third, cementing his third position in the championship.

The result sees Moore increase his championship lead to Carroll by 12 points, with the rookie now holding a 24-point buffer heading into the fourth round of the championship at Oulton Park on the 23rd of October.

Matt Caruana and William Chadwick shared the wins as the British F4 Esports Championship headed to Zandvoort for the second round of the season.

The first round of the 2024 British F4 Esports Championship turned out to be a rather good one for Guild Esports, with Remy Gilbert enjoying a two-point advantage over team-mate Leo Brown in the drivers’ standings once the dust had settled.

Hot on their heels was the experienced Graham Carroll of Ferrari Esports, with last season’s UK FF1600 Esports Cup champion Henry Moore, driving for Guild’s Academy team, impressively not far behind.

RACE 1

Somewhat surprisingly, it was BS+ COMPETITION’s Elias Raikaa who took pole position, just ahead of Carroll, with Moore joined on the second row by Mensah Racing Driven By Us’ Matt Caruana. Championship leaders Gilbert and Brown were 10th and eleventh respectively, leaving them with much work to do.

Off the line Raikaa hung it out wide at Tarzan, using the banking to hold off the advances of Carroll. Meanwhile, Caruana launched an attack on Moore for third, before using a double slipstream to overtake both Carroll and Raikaa on the main straight. Moore capitalised on the squabbling ahead to move into second.

There was a cessation of hostilities between the leading group until the final few minutes, as Moore drafted past Caruana for the lead. Caruana reversed the move on the following lap as they headed onto the final lap, holding position until the chequered flag.

RACE 2

Aston Martin’s Manuel Biancolilla claimed the reverse grid pole position for race two, on account of finishing 12th in the first encounter. This placed the frontrunners right into the midfield quagmire, where the drama began almost immediately.

Biancolilla made a clean getaway at the start, closely followed by William Chadwick. Further back, on-the-road championship leader Carroll was dramatically eliminated after a tussle with Raikaa.

Raikaa would soon be involved in another incident with race one winner Caruana, with both taking evasive action to avoid a spinning vehicle ahead, ending both their races on the spot after sustaining heavy damage.

Moore, meanwhile, showed a level of maturity beyond his years to shuffle his way through the pack to sixth. However, all was nearly lost after Moore made side-by-side contact with G2 Esports’ Joni Katila, sending the latter into the barriers. Seemingly undamaged, Moore continued in fifth position.

On the final lap, Chadwick made an audacious move on Biancolilla for the lead, with Giuseppe Lo Faro capitalising to jump into second. They crossed the line in this order, with Biancolilla just falling short after leading the whole race.

Erstwhile championship leaders Guild Esports endured a disastrous Round 2, with Remy Gilbert’s 10th position in Race 2 its best result. Graham Carroll also had a mixed event, encountering his first DNF and losing the championship lead to the consistent Henry Moore.

Guild and Carroll will be looking to bounce back at Snetterton on the 16th of October.

The first round of the 2024 British F4 Esports Championship saw Ferrari Esports’ Graham Carroll claim the championship lead after victory in Race 2.

The British F4 Esports Championship grid has a new look for 2024, with several Formula 1-affiliated teams set to battle it out for top honours across eight double-headers. Although the competition will be fierce, one thing is guaranteed: there will be a new champion.

Luke McKeown of Stormforce Racing ART claimed back-to-back drivers’ titles but has not returned to claim a hat-trick, opening up the championship fight for the likes of Graham Carroll, Gergo Baldi, Remy Gilbert and Matt Caruana.

F1 Esports teams from Ferrari, Williams, Alpine and Aston Martin add an extra touch of intrigue for 2024, but as Round 1 from Brands Hatch Indy proved, they wouldn’t have it all their own way.

Race 1

The first qualifying session of the season saw Guild Racing’s Remy Gilbert snatch pole position, with the top six separated by just one-tenth of a second.

Gilbert, who won the second race at Brands last season, was joined on the front row by Mensah Racing Driven By Us’ Matt  Caruana, who was looking for a redemption arc after controversially exiting last year’s series after Round 4.

Gilbert and Caruana made equally good starts and were line astern on the first lap, with Guild’s Leo Brown following in third and a gaggle of FIA F4 cars directly behind.

The top six broke away from the main pack as Caruana and Brown passed Gilbert and into first and second place respectively, with UK FF1600 Esports Cup graduate Henry Moore making it three Guild drivers in the top four with five minutes to go.

Ferrari’s Carroll crashed the Guild party, however, by launching a robust overtake on Moore for fourth, just as Brown made his move on Caruana for the lead. Gilbert swiftly followed his team-mate through into second position, with Carroll pressuring for third. The positions remained status quo until the chequered flag.

AzzTech Racing by Grid Finder’s Ryan Micallef would gain the reversed grid pole position for Race 2, as race winner Brown lined up ninth.

Race 2

Micallef held off the advances of William Chadwick on the first lap but would be tapped off at Clearways on lap 3 after slight contact, effectively ending his points-scoring chances.

At the following corner, Ferrari’s Gergo Baldi drifted into Loake’s Aston Martin-backed car, sending the 2023 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year across the gravel and down into seventh position.

The stramash elevated Chadwick into first with Moore and Carroll just behind, while Gilbert had worked his way up to fourth. As Moore failed in a move for the lead, Carroll pounced for second, followed by a quickfire move on Chadwick for first at Paddock Hill Bend.

The top four eased away from the pack and were nose-to-tail heading into the final laps, with the Guild pair of Gilbert and Moore battling hard. This gave Chadwick a pressure-free final lap but he couldn’t do enough to usurp Carroll, with the Scotsman holding on for victory.

Gilbert would claim the final podium slot and, as a result, claim joint second place in the championship alongside team-mate Brown. Both trail Ferrari’s Carrol by two points heading into Round 2 at Zandvoort on the 2nd of October.
