Nearly 40 cars ready to hit the track for the season finale at the Temple of Speed
Everything is set at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza for the final round of the 2024 Italian F.4 Championship, scheduled from October 25 to 27. The legendary Temple of Speed will host nearly 40 Tatuus single-seaters for the seventh and final event of the Italian F4 season, promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion.
Although the driver and team titles have already been decided in Spain during the penultimate round—respectively claimed by Freddie Slater and Prema Racing—the grand finale at Monza still promises excitement. Slater, fresh champion with Prema Racing, has the opportunity to set a new record for wins in the championship, having already matched Andrea Kimi Antonelli's (2022) record of 13 victories. With three races still to go, the British driver has the last chances to further enhance this achievement.
The battle remains open for the Rookie Trophy, where an intense three-way fight is expected between Prema drivers. Leading the standings is Alex Powell, Mercedes junior, with 318 points, followed by Alpine Academy driver Kean Nakamura-Berta with 282 points, and Latvian Tomass Stolcermanis with 269 points.
Participation remains strong for the grand finale, with 12 teams ready to line up their cars on the Monza track. The drivers represent 23 nations, highlighting the central relevance of the Italian championship on the international stage. The 2024 season has seen more than 50 drivers from nearly 30 different countries, representing 4 continents, taking part, making the final showdown even more spectacular and highly anticipated.
New faces will also be on the grid, eager to test themselves for the first time in the competitive Italian F.4 series, with their eyes already set on preparing for the 2025 season.
The full entry list will be available in the coming days on the ACI Sport website.
