Henry Moore, Dan Amor claim FIA F4 Global Esports Championship presented by MOZA victories on 2025 opening weekend

October 27th, 2025 by

After a season’s worth of work in the Regional qualifiers to make the grid, the first two races of the 2025 FIA F4 Global Esports Championship presented by MOZA kicked off on Saturday. Not announced until the day before, the Global competitors from the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe regions went to battle at Circuit Zandvoort, located in the Netherlands, and Road Atlanta, located in the United States, for the opening weekend of competition.

Two new drivers to the series, both representing the Europe region, claimed their maiden wins in respective 15-minute Feature events. At Circuit Zandvoort, Henry Moore (United Kingdom) held off the defending series champion, Luke McKeown (United Kingdom) for the win from the pole position. Later in the day, at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, it was Martin Kadlečík (Czech Republic) who got the pole and led the majority of the way, but his dance partner for the evening, Dan Amor (United Kingdom) was able to get by and hang on for the win on the final lap.

After two rounds, Amor leads the way in the standings following a ninth place run at Zandvoort before taking the win at Road Atlanta. McKeown holds second, combining a runner-up at Zandvoort with a sixth place run at Road Atlanta. Moore slots in at third, following up his Zandvoort win with a 13th place run at Road Atlanta. Points are only awarded to the top-15 finishers in a 39-driver field.

RACE #1 at Zandvoort | Moore holds off defending Global Champion McKeown for maiden victory

The racing action kicked off with a short practice and qualifying session before setting the grid for the first 15-minute event of the day at Circuit Zandvoort. While these races are meant to have standing starts, the opening race would see a formation lap followed by a rolling start to kick off the year. Henry Moore took the pole position with a 1:33.047 second lap, nearly a full tenth ahead of Xander Reed (United States) who qualified second.

Moore took off from the start, leading the field into the opening corner. Behind the main leaders, near the point cutoff, a couple of contenders collided, ending the action early for Graham Carroll (Scotland), Mehdi Kousha (United Arab Emirates), and Dino Filippa (Argentina). While most of the top-15 starters besides those out of contention finished in those spots, three drivers were able to work their way into the points, including Felipe Pujol Dantas (Brazil), who started 17th, and Jaden Munoz (United States), who started 19th. They finished 14th and 15th.

More impressively was Andre Castro (United States), a driver who has raced on occasion in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Castro was mired in the 25th starting spot, but managed to fight and claw his way up to finish 11th in his debut.

Up front, Reed was unable to hang on to his starting spot, bleeding off positions through the second half of the run. Reed eventually wound up settling in and finishing eighth. McKeown, on the other hand, was able to save his stuff for a burst at the end.

With the threat of Aaron Vazquez (Spain) looming in his mirror, McKeown had to be careful when to make his moves on Moore. Every attempt McKeown made, Moore held strong, and Vazquez stayed ready to pounce. On the final lap, McKeown gave one last send on the outside. Moore stayed strong, and while McKeown tried to line up his next attempt, Vazquez made his lunge for second place. The field crossed the checkers the same way they crossed the lap prior, and Moore was victorious.

“Over the moon, really,” Moore said post-race. “Can’t ask for a much better debut in the series, and obviously first run on the season, on pole, with a flag-to-flag win. Yeah, really happy.”

RACE #2 at Road Atlanta | Amor steals maiden win from Kadlečík; holds off Sánchez and Costa on final lap

By the power of virtual racing, the FIA F4 Global Esports Championship presented by MOZA quickly shifted to a part of the world nearly 8,000 miles away, over in the southern United States, in Braselton, Georgia, for the second race of the 2025 campaign. Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is a much different beast than Zandvoort, and given the stipulations of only having 24 hours from the announcement to practice for the upcoming events, perhaps a new crop of drivers would find their way to the front for Round 2.

Indeed, it was Martin Kadlečík taking the top spot in qualifying with a 1:19.942 second lap time, about 12 seconds faster than a lap at Zandvoort despite being nearly identical in distance (2.54-miles in length at Road Atlanta, 2.65-miles at Circuit Zandvoort). This is due, in part, to the long straights at the American venue, allowing for more draft-dependent racing throughout the show.

The close quarters racing did spell disaster for two drivers that qualified within the top-15—both Elvis Rankin (United States) and later, Kody Deith (Australia), found themselves on the wrong side of contact, ending their races early. Graham Carroll, another top-15 qualifier, as well as Jaden Munoz, both finished outside the points despite qualifying in them, which meant four drivers worked their way up into the points—Augustin Bernier (France) from 18th to 11th, Gaël Valero (France) from 23rd to 12th, Flavio Dantas (Brazil) from 22nd to 15th, and for the second-straight race, Dino Filippa, who qualified 19th and finished 14th.

From the jump, Kadlečík and Dan Amor made themselves quick friends. While these virtual F4 cars have pointed noses and fragile wings on the front end, they were able to hit the sweet spot on the straightaways, tandeming away from the pack as the field quickly found out that they needed a dance partner to advance. Throughout the field, packs of two drivers were prevalent, a leader and a pusher working as one unit attempting to make up as much time as possible through the quick race.

Things got heated as the white flag was displayed. Teammate time was over, and Amor was ready to pounce on Kadlečík on the frontstretch. However, both Alejandro Sánchez (Spain) and Miguel Costa (Monaco) had partnered their way up to the front two. Their teammate time was over too, and as Amor cleared for the lead, Kadlečík, Sánchez, and Costa went three-wide into the corner. Costa prevailed into second, and at Turn 6, moved around Amor into the lead. Amor, together with Sánchez, pushed his way back into the lead, securing the victory.

“Race 1, for me, was a little bit rough,” Amor explained post-race. “In testing, my pace was really nice at Zandvoort, and come qualifying, I didn’t quite string the lap together. In this one, I was like, yeah, okay, let’s just get the head back in and aim to score good points. That’s exactly what I’ve done. Qualifying was really, really strong. In the last two laps, it was a matter that I knew I wanted to be at the front, onto the last lap… kind of held my nerve out front, got a decent gap. Huge shout to Alex (Sánchez)… he gave me a really nice push… overall, really pleased with it.”
