Westcott Finishes Rookie E4 Campaign With Clear Momentum Into What’s Next

26 October 2025 – Monza, Italy — The 2025 E4 Championship season came to a close this weekend at the iconic Autodromo Nazionale Monza, where American racer Payton Westcott demonstrated strong pace and determination in a challenging yet exciting finale.

After a solid qualifying, Payton headed into the races with the clear objective of pushing forward and ending the season on a high. Race 1 came to an early end after unavoidable contact in the opening corners resulted in a DNF — a tough start that only sharpened her focus for the remaining heats.

In Race 2, Westcott battled her way through the field to finish P8 in the Rookie classification and P2 Female, showing impressive consistency and racecraft under pressure.

Race 3 delivered some of the most intense action of the weekend. Following a strong restart from the safety car, Payton made multiple bold overtakes and looked set for another strong result before being pushed wide in a tight wheel-to-wheel fight. She recovered to finish P10 Rookie and P3 Female, and once again proving her ability to compete aggressively in the pack.

“This season has been full of learning, progress, and moments where we showed real speed,”  Payton said after the race. “Monza didn’t give us the easiest weekend — but I’m proud of the fight we brought into every session. We’ll use everything we’ve learned to come back even stronger.”

The E4 Championship finale also marks the conclusion of Payton’s first full European racing season, which included competition across both Italian F4 and E4 — two of the world’s most competitive junior single-seater categories. Throughout 2025, she has continued to build momentum with multiple class podiums, overtaking drives, and an ever-growing presence within the international motorsport landscape.

And while the E4 season has wrapped for the year…
