BEETON TAKES MOTORLAND
Young Aussie Jack Beeton has continued on with his Formula 4 education, taking out the latest Formula Winter Series at Motorland Aragon in Spain.
In the backend of 2023 Beeton took out his first Junior Formulae title for Australian team AGI Sport in the F4 South East Asia Championship, and after taking a few podiums to start the year in the F4 UAE Championship, he’s backed it up with a sweep of them in Spain for the German US Racing team.
Whilst his finishes of two second places and third got him the round win, it’s another Aussie in Griffin Peebles that leads the series after having taken wins at Jerez and Ricardo Tormo in the first two rounds.
Peebles’ fifth place in Race 3 also enabled him to take the outright championship lead over Peruvian driver Andres Cardenas, leading the series by seven points with one round to come with the decider to take place in Barcelona on March 8-10.
It was also a solid round for another Aussie driver in Gianmarco Pradel, who netted a podium in Race 1.
Pradel took out last year’s rookie title in the Formula Series, as well as finishing second outright.
Both Beeton and Pradel will be competing for US Racing in the Italian Formula 4 this season before they look to move up the formulae rungs in 2025.
The other Aussie out on track in Aragon was another AGI product in Peter Bouzinelos, but his weekend didn’t fare so well with a couple of retirements.
