Asia Racing Team RFN and Blackjack Racing RFN will field a six-car line-up for the season finale of the F4 Chinese Championship at Zhuhai International Circuit this weekend.
Following 20 races, the only Chinese single-seater series will conclude at China’s oldest permanent circuit, with four 30 minute decisive races scheduled in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province.
Asia Racing Team RFN’s Timur Shagaliev heads into the final round as the overall championship leader, having secured four race wins so far this season. The 15-year-old Russian holds an 18-point advantage in the overall standings and also leads the F4 class, with 14 points separating him from his closest rival. With the title fight going down to the wire, Shagaliev will be aiming to finish the season on a high and secure the championship.
Blackjack Racing RFN’s Zhuyuan Chen has enjoyed a promising rookie campaign, claiming several podium finishes. The Chinese driver currently sits fifth in the overall and fourth in the F4 class standings and will be looking to add to his podium tally in the season finale.
Josh Feng is the team’s other driver to have claimed overall race victories this season, with two wins to his name. The rising Sino-British talent is fifth in the F4 class standings and will be aiming to end his campaign on a high at a circuit that holds particular significance for him, having completed his first test with the team at Zhuhai.
Russian driver Viktor Turkin will join the line-up following an impressive performance at the previous round in Hunan, where he secured three victories from four races in the Master class. He will be looking to carry that momentum into the season finale.
Héloïse Goldberg will also join the team in Zhuhai. The 17-year-old French driver discovered karting at the age of 13 before progressing through the French motorsport development system. Having competed in the French F4 Championship over the past two seasons, she continues to pursue her ambitions in single-seater racing. Goldberg is already familiar with the team, having previously raced with them in the 2025 F4 Chinese Championship season finale.
Completing the six-car line-up is Kevin Yang, another familiar face within the team. Although he will be making his debut in the F4 Chinese Championship, Yang brings considerable motorsport experience. He previously joined Asia Racing Team RFN for its campaign in the China Endurance Championship at Zhuhai International Circuit, driving a Ligier JS P320 LMP3.
Team Manager Rodolfo Ávila said: “We are delighted to welcome Héloïse and Kevin to the team for the season finale. We know both drivers well, and they are very much part of the family. We will also strengthen our technical team for the weekend, and we hope both drivers will make the most of this opportunity and gain as much as possible from the experience.”
On the championship decider, Ávila added: “We are fully focused on achieving our goals. It is great to be racing at our home circuit in Zhuhai, but we are under no illusions that it will be an easy weekend. Our rivals are just as determined to win the titles as we are, so we know we will need to give it everything. We will continue to race within the regulations, as we have always been proud to do, and expect a clean season finale from all parties involved, unlike what we have seen far too often this year.”
The F4 Chinese Championship season finale gets under way on Friday with two qualifying sessions. Two 30-minute races will follow on Saturday, with a further two races scheduled for Sunday, as the drivers prepare for the final battles of the season.
