Dan Amor could not have asked for a cleaner start to the 2026 FIA F4 Global Esports Championship presented by MOZA. Across Saturday's season-opening doubleheader on iRacing, Amor swept both feature races at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Fuji Speedway to take command of the early championship standings.
With the world's fastest open-wheel qualifiers feeding into the global broadcast grid from regional FIA F4 Esports cups, the opening two rounds delivered two completely different track challenges: technical blind elevation changes in Ohio followed by a mile-long slipstream shootout in Japan.
"Sweeping both Mid-Ohio and Fuji against a field this tight comes down to keeping the tires alive through the opening laps and working the draft cleanly with your teammate when the pack closes in."
Controlling the Pace at Mid-Ohio and Surviving the Fuji Draft
In Race 1 at Mid-Ohio, Amor managed his tire temperatures through the Keyhole and the Madness downhill section to hold off Turn Racing's Henry Moore, who shadowed him all the way to the checkered flag in second place. Moving straight to Fuji Speedway for Race 2, breaking the draft down the 1.5-kilometer main straight proved nearly impossible, forcing Amor and Moore to work the slipstream pack together before Amor sealed the double victory at the line with Moore once again locking down P2.
Leaving Round 1 with back-to-back 1-2 finishes puts Dan Amor, Henry Moore, and Turn Racing firmly in control of the four-event calendar heading into Event 2 on Saturday, November 14 on the official iRacing broadcast channels.
