Real Racing Team will retain its two-car Italian Formula 4 line-up for a second season, it has been confirmed.
The Romanian outfit debuted in the championship in 2024 (after entering tests over the previous two years) with Luca Viisoreanu and Andrei Duna, both from the team’s home country. Viisoreanu did the full season, while Duna ended up only contesting the races in two rounds. That left Duna 48th in the points table, while his team-mate was 29th and also points-free.
It was the 17-year-old Duna who went into that campaign with higher expectations, having come 17th in French F4 the year before with two seventh places his best results.
Viisoreanu picked up more experience over the course of 2024 by contesting many tests but also doing the three-round E4 (nee Euro 4) championship and coming 22nd in the standings with three points, and making an F4 Central European Zone cameo [pictured top] which earned him enough points – and a new personal best finish of fifth place – to be one place higher in the standings than he was in E4.
Both of Real Racing’s drivers are set to double up in E4 this year, which will continue with a three-round schedule.
Also planning to race in E4 and Italian F4 is 15-year-old Teo Schropp, who has tested with Jenzer Motorsport but is yet to be announced by the team in its 2025 line-up. He came 13th in Formula 2 Argentina, a new entry-level series for halo-shod single-seaters not to be confused with the Argentinian F2 championship of the past, last year.
