FIA F4 Global Esports Championship Returns for 2026 with $35,000 Prize Pool
The 2026 FIA F4 Global Esports Championship presented by MOZA kicks off on October 31, bringing together 30 qualified drivers across three world regions to contest a $35,000 purse.
The FIA F4 Global Esports Championship presented by MOZA returns for its 2026 campaign starting October 31, gathering 30 virtual racers from across the globe to compete for a share of a $35,000 prize fund. The champion is set to take home a top prize of $15,000. MOZA Racing continues its backing as presenting sponsor of the official virtual series run on iRacing.
Competitors earned their spots through the 12-week FIA F4 Regional Tour competitions held during iRacing Season 3. The qualification phase was split across three geographical zones—Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe—featuring regional circuits such as Miami and Mexico City for the Americas, Adelaide and Fuji in the Asia-Pacific, and European venues including Imola, Mugello, Portimão, and the Nürburgring. The top 10 drivers from each regional tour formed the 30-car championship roster.
Defending champion Henry Moore returns to contest the series sporting car number 1, alongside fellow European podium finishers from last season, Dan Amor and Isaac Phelps. The Americas roster features drivers including Felipe Pujol Dantas, Felipe Cabrera Loyola, Flavio Dantas, Felipe Juliato, Pablo Mercerat, William Callegari, Aiden Mataisz, Nicolás Rubilar, Dino Filippa, and Andre Castro. The Asia-Pacific contingent comprises Kody Deith, Zach Rattray-White, Shoma Shintani, Deklan Webb, Damon Woods, Curtis Webb, Jordi Slater, Benjamin Roberts, Mehdi Kousha, and Calieb Hydes, while Europe is also represented by Alex O’Grady, Augustin Bernier, Martin Kadlečík, Atte Kauppinen, Alejandro Sánchez, Remy Gilbert, and Charlie Collins.
To test driver versatility, participants will not learn the circuit for each event until 24 hours before the competition starts. All drivers will utilize identical fixed setups. The four-round schedule features doubleheader meetings on October 31, November 7, November 14, and November 21, each consisting of practice, qualifying, and two distinct 15-minute races. The championship opens on Saturday, October 31, at 19:00 GMT with live coverage across iRacing channels.
