The FIA F4 Global Esports Championship is making its return this October, and if last season was anything to go by, it’s going to be another wild one. Backed by MOZA Racing and powered through iRacing, this championship gives sim racers a shot at something big without needing a full-blown license or a race team in their corner.

What We Know So Far

The announcement dropped earlier this week on iRacing’s site, confirming the 2025 season will launch in October. That gives drivers a few months to get their act together, sharpen their single-seater game, and figure out how to handle the iRacing Formula 4 car without binning it into T1 every race.

No full calendar has been released yet, but if it mirrors last season, expect a 6–8 race format with a mix of iconic circuits, both European and international. And yes, MOZA is back on the sponsor list, meaning prizes, exposure, and likely some very slick promo coverage.

Why This Series Matters

This isn’t just another F4 league. It’s FIA-backed, so it comes with actual recognition. For up-and-coming drivers trying to build a name in esports — or even transition to real-world opportunities, this is one of the few open-wheel sim racing championships that actually carries weight.

It also helps that the racing is clean, competitive, and broadcasted with pro-level production. If you’re not watching, you’re missing some of the best wheel-to-wheel battles outside of real-world F4.

Anyone can Participate!

• Own the iRacing Formula 4 car
• Be on iRacing (obviously)
• Watch for pre-qualifying or open entry announcements (likely coming mid-summer)

If you’re a mid-pack F3 grinder or someone who’s been crushing the Formula Ford ladder on World Sim Series, this is your chance to step up.

Last Season Highlights

The inaugural season featured insanely tight battles, a couple of chaotic lap-one incidents, and some genuinely breakout talent. Expect returning names, and maybe a few real-world junior drivers dipping in, just to flex.

If MOZA stays as involved as they were last time, we’ll likely get some bonus content, giveaways, or tech reveals alongside the championship too.

Final Thoughts

October isn’t that far off. If you’re serious about open-wheel sim racing, this is the one to circle on your calendar. Whether you’re racing or just watching, the FIA F4 Global Esports Championship brings the kind of structure and visibility the sim scene desperately needs more of.

Stay sharp. We’ll drop more details as soon as the full schedule is out.
