🇫🇷 Jean-Paul Karras

Jean-Paul Karras is a semi-professional driver rated 3,091, a level that describes competitive amateur racers who win in club and pro-am classes and typically run mid-pack among full professionals. His career spans two seasons of Spanish Formula 4 racing from 2025 to 2026, across 14 starts with G4 Racing, averaging a finishing position of 20th and recording no wins or podium finishes.[1]

Karras has faced a field of peers and stronger competitors in Spanish F4. His head-to-head record against most regular rivals tilts toward the negative: he finished ahead of Nacho Tuñon in six of fourteen shared races but trailed Nathaniel Tye thirteen times from thirteen meetings and Noah Monteiro in all thirteen of their encounters. Monteiro and Tye, both rated above 4,400, represent a level of professional driver that Karras has struggled to match; his record against them reads as consistent mid-field running against the sharper end of the field. He has held his own more evenly against Philippe Karras, whom he beat in eight of thirteen races, and Andrej Petrovic, in a 5–7 split. Karras has occasionally finished ahead of stronger drivers such as 2025 Spanish F4 champion Thomas Strauven and professional-rated rival Juan Cota, but these were isolated results rather than sustained patterns.

G4 Racing, his sole team across twelve of his fourteen starts, is a competitive outfit with five race wins and a history of running drivers ranging from his level to Alessandro Giusti, a 5,384-rated professional. Karras remains active in Spanish Formula 4 into 2026, pursuing development in a feeder series field where he has yet to break through to the front.
