Realistic racing with global reach
The FIA F4 Global Esports Championship has established itself as a pioneering platform for combining sim racing with real motorsport in 2024. The cooperation between iRacing and the FIA not only creates professional structures, but also gives tens of thousands of drivers worldwide access to the virtual world of formula racing. Players can qualify again from June 2025 via the FIA F4 Regional Tour, which simulates real entry-level racing series. The top ten drivers from each region – Europe, America and Asia-Pacific – will then receive an invitation to the main championship.
The four doubleheader events will start on October 25, followed by further races on November 8 and 22, before the grand finale on December 6. All races will be broadcast live via the official iRacing channels. A special challenge: the track selection will only be announced 24 hours before the start. In addition, all drivers compete with fixed setups – the focus is on fairness and driving skills.
MOZA Racing: More than just a sponsor
As title sponsor, MOZA Racing is not just behind the championship in name only – the company is also contributing its expertise in realistic simulation technology. High-quality steering wheels, pedals and motion platforms ensure an immersive driving experience that bridges the gap between virtual and real motorsport. The mission: to promote young talent, lower the barriers to entry and make professional equipment accessible to a wider audience.
The successes of the first season speak for themselves: with Luke McKeown, Alejandro Sánchez and Aaron Vazquezz, European drivers dominated the field, while Nicolás Rubilar (Chile) and Alejandro Sendra (Japan) led their regions. This international range is a key element of the series – in line with MOZA’s brand values: precision, performance and accessibility.
At the same time, iRacing supports numerous national motorsport authorities (ASNs) around the world, offering newcomers an entry point into the world of e-sports. The long-term goal: a real career ladder from the simulator to the race track.
Simracing at the next level
MOZA Racing uses the FIA F4 Global Esports Championship to demonstrate just how far sim racing has come – and where it can go. Thanks to realistic driving physics, country-specific leagues and global tournaments, sim racing is no longer a niche hobby, but is developing into a serious motorsport alternative. The FIA F4 Championship is a visible sign of this change.
Conclusion
The FIA F4 Global Esports Championship 2025 promises exciting races, a fair competition format and strong technical support from MOZA Racing. With increased prize money and global participation, the event sets new standards in sim racing. The qualification phase begins in June – if you want to get involved, you should start training now.
