The sixth round of the 2024 Italian F.4 Championship, the penultimate event of the season, has concluded in Barcelona. The Spanish weekend was decisive for the fate of the Italian F.4 Championship, with the final closure of the drivers’ standings and Freddie Slater’s dominant triumph. The race that brought the weekend to a close marked the first win for Jack Beeton, the Australian driver from US Racing who has been one of the season’s revelations. Beeton, after standing on the second step of the podium seven times this year—most recently in Race 1 at Barcelona—finally celebrated from the top spot.
