The Porsche Carrera Cup Italia returned to action for its penultimate round of the season at Misano, with our Nicholas Pujatti at the center of an intense and challenging weekend. Qualifying proved tougher than expected, preventing Nicholas from securing a favorable starting position. In Race 1, the young Italian showed great race pace and determination, climbing up to P12. However, a track limits penalty dropped him back to P19. In Race 2, a problem at the start forced him to begin from the back, but Nicholas didn’t give up — lap after lap, he recovered several positions, crossing the line in P17.
A complex yet positive weekend for Pujatti, who once again demonstrated speed, character, and impressive overtaking ability. The focus now shifts to the final round at Monza, scheduled for the last week of October, with the goal of finishing the season on a high note.

The final round of the Italian Formula 4 Championship took place at Misano, with Luka Sammalisto delivering a weekend to remember. The young Finnish driver showed excellent form right from free practice, setting several benchmark times. In qualifying, he narrowly missed out on pole position by just a few thousandths of a second but still secured a strong P3 on the grid. Across the three races of the weekend, Luka confirmed both his speed and consistency, finishing fourth in Race 1, third in Race 2, and once again on the podium in Race 3 — rounding off an extremely positive weekend.
Thanks to these strong results, Sammalisto ends his Formula 4 Italy season in the best possible way, showcasing steady growth and significant progress in competitiveness. Now it’s time to recharge ahead of 2026, with the goal of returning to the track even stronger and more determined.
