JEDDAH: The fourth round of the Aramco F4 Saudi Arabian Championship wrapped up on Saturday night at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, with Kit Belofsky maintaining his lead in the overall standings on 146 points.
The race began with high drama as Adam Al-Azhari and Scott Lindblom surged past early favourite Belofsky, pushing him back to fourth.
The opening laps also produced a defining moment when Belofsky made contact with Lindblom, damaging the latter’s rear wing and forcing him into the pits for urgent repairs before rejoining at the back of the field.
Belofsky continued to chase down Al-Azhari throughout the race and, in the final three laps, mounted a strong comeback to reclaim second place.
Further down the field, the intensity remained high. Lewis Wherrell received a five-second penalty, while Saudi driver Faris Organji was handed a 10-second penalty.
Saudi female driver Farah Al-Yousef delivered one of the standout performances of the evening, climbing three positions to finish 11th after a determined run.
Ava Dobson of TEAM PEAX earned the Best Female Driver Award, while race winner Lewis Wherrell capped his night by claiming the Best Rookie Award.
After the race, Eng. Mansour Al-Muqbel, acting CEO of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation and CEO of Saudi Motorsport Company, crowned the winner, TEAM CARAAGY’s Wherrell, who started from pole and held his advantage to cross the line 1.617 seconds ahead of TEAM PEAX’s Belofsky.
TEAM VALVOLINE’s Al-Azhari secured third place, 4.257 seconds behind the leader. TEAM ZAHID’s Thibaut Ramaekers and Saudi driver Abdullah Kamel of TEAM ASTOP rounded out the top five.
In the championship standings after the fourth round, Belofsky leads with 146 points, followed by Al-Azhari on 125 and Lindblom on 108.
Ramaekers sits in fourth place with 82 points, with Wherrell close behind on 75. Saudi driver Abdullah Kamel is sixth on 56 points, narrowly ahead of Theo Palmer on 55.

With the fourth round now concluded, the championship resumes on Dec. 5, when the next chapter of this fiercely contested season unfolds on the demanding Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
