F4 Does double R racing still operate?

I can't remember how I came across the team. But is there a chance that Robin Raikkonen could be there at some point?

I think the last I saw was they were in Spanish F4

They also test British F4 cars frequently too, and also run the British F4 spares truck

And Kimi is still involved?

No. He sold his stake in 2010.

What happens there like who tests and why don’t they race

In EFO cars they frequently have feeder series/Indycar/SF drivers out, the EFO car is a really good car to have seat time in. They have some karting kids/F1A drivers out in F4 cars frequently

They don’t race in EFO because the championship is basically dead due to Motopark. There’s way more money in testing than racing anyway

any drivers that r in those sorts of categories at the minute. Maybe they should just enter a smaller championship like Cez f4 in that case so at least there’s some racing.

Business case, simple as that. Why go racing if you can make more profit testing?

They r racing in ginetta junior, but it's R Racing so I don't think kimi is involved anymore.

R Racing is a completely unrelated team, just a similar name

Robin won't be old enough for F4 (well, FIA F4) until he turns 15 on Jan 27, 2030. Assuming rules haven't changed before then. It's quite a long time from now.
