The FIA Motorsport Games has concluded for 2024 with a huge effort across Team Australia.

Here’s how our Australian representatives flew the flag high on the final day of competition.

Formula 4
Griffin Peebles showed plenty of pace and a competitive edge after a fourth place finish in the final Formula 4 race for the weekend. The Victorian narrowly missed out on a medal by two seconds.

Peebles began the 18 lap race in eighth, picking up places quickly and benefiting from an early safety car period. The Victorian finished the race in fourth, but a track limit infringement initially demoted him to seventh. However a successful protest, and further penalties and disqualifications from the race, elevated Peebles to a spectacular fourth place finish.

Karting Sprint Senior
Pip Casabene endured a less than ideal final day to his 2024 FIA Motorsport Games campaign. After 16th in Qualifying Heat Three, Casabene climbed 13 places throughout the duration of the race.

However the event ended with a DNF on the first lap of the Karting Sprint Senior Final, after getting tangled in an incident on the opening corner of the 22 lap race.

Karting Sprint Junior
It was also a difficult showing for Riley Harrison on the Sunday finale. The NSW State Champion begun his Sunday with a difficult Qualifying Heat Three, where he was disqualified for work on his kart during the pre-grid procedure.

Harrison's final outing was a well executed drive from the midfield, but an incident in the final laps dropped the New South Welshman to 28th.

Karting Sprint Mini
Jay Kostecki's Sunday was a superb showing of skill, with a ninth place finish in the final Qualifying Heat for Karting Sprint Mini.

Kostecki begun the final race on the second row of the grid, and despite losing a few places at the start, the young Australian moved quickly up into P2 after an impressive double overtake midway through the race.

With a few laps remaining, Kostecki made his move to the gold medal position. However, Kostecki ran wide through a corner which saw the drivers behind quickly make their way ahead of the Australian. The finish was extremely close, with the fight for bronze separated by three hundredths of a second across five drivers.

Kostecki finished his campaign in sixth place.

The 2024 FIA Motorsport Games concluded with a closing ceremony, which celebrated all award winners and nations for what was a spectacular 2024 showing of the event.

The fourth edition of the FIA Motorsport Games will take place again in 2026, with a host nation to be confirmed at a later date.
