The current F4 Spain campaign continues this weekend in France, visiting the Circuit Paul Ricard, which will host three new races in this competitive series. Campos Racing will once again field its three single-seaters for Nathan Tye, James Egozi, and Enzo Tarnvanichkul, while the Griffin Core by Campos team will manage the cars of Ernesto Rivera, Jan Przyrowski, and Andrés Cárdenas.

After the meetings held at Jarama and the Algarve, Mexican Rivera is the best-placed driver on the team, occupying fourth place in the overall standings with 54 points. Rivera, who was already second at the season opener at Jarama, returned to the podium in Portugal, this time climbing to the top step for his first win in the category. Tye also made his podium debut in Portimao, finishing second in the last race in Portugal.

They are not the only drivers to taste the podium, as Polish Przyrowski also finished third at Jarama. In an extremely competitive category, with differences of mere thousandths of a second, Przyrowski has proven to be a solid driver, scoring points in the last four races, placing him seventh in the overall standings. Egozi will be seeking his first podium finish after the American finished in the top-5 three times, with a fourth place as his best result so far. Another driver fully committed to getting on the podium is Thai Tarnvanichkul, who will have a new opportunity to do so at Le Castellet after achieving a seventh and tenth place as his best results so far.

After Jarama, a twisty and winding circuit, and Portimao, similar to the Madrid track with constant elevation changes, Paul Ricard is a much flatter layout. The famous Mistral straight, now interrupted by a chicane, will be crucial for slipstreaming.

The schedule includes two free practice sessions on Saturday morning, each lasting forty minutes. The first qualifying session will be held from 14:05. Race 1 will be 30 minutes + 1 lap and will start that same afternoon at 17:05. On Sunday, the drivers will hit the track at 09:45 for the second qualifying session. The second race, scheduled for 25 minutes + 1 lap, will start at 11:50. Finally, the third and last race will be held from 15:20, consisting of 30 minutes + 1 lap. All the action can be followed live via the championship's YouTube channel. All times are in Spanish time.

Adrián Campos (Team Principal of Campos Racing): “The F4 Spain visit is expected to be, as usual in this championship, very tight with narrow margins. We already know what it is like to win and get on the podium this year, and we hope to achieve our best results yet at Paul Ricard, a circuit where we performed very well in preseason.”

Nathan Tye (Campos Racing Driver in F4 Spain): “Paul Ricard is an incredible circuit to race and I’m feeling confident going into this third round of the championship. The test in March was positive and we’ve only gotten stronger, with more seat time from the first two rounds. We hope to go one step higher on the podium this time. I have a fantastic team and I’m certain we can do great things this weekend.”
