Harp Racing announced Piotr Orcholski as its driver before the start of the season, but the team had to wait for their first race weekend together in the F4 Central European Zone until Piotr turned 15, the minimum age required to compete in Formula 4. He will celebrate this milestone literally one day before his debut.

The young Polish driver is heading to Slovakia Ring this weekend with Harp Racing for the third round of the 2026 F4 CEZ Championship. Piotr will celebrate his 15th birthday on June 4, and just one day later he will take part in the free practice and qualifying sessions.

“I couldn’t have imagined a better birthday present,” says Piotr, who has taken a rather unusual path to Formula 4, as he skipped karting altogether and developed his skills behind the wheel of racing cars from the very beginning. The approach has worked well for him, with a number of successful race victories already to his name.

Now, his much anticipated Formula 4 debut lies ahead.
