He nearly repeated the feat in an action-packed reverse grid race on Sunday morning, moving from 14th to 11th, but ended the weekend on a high note with eighth spot, another six passes bringing his total to 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, he wins the Pirelli &#8216;Hardest Charger&#8217; Award for Thruxton, and with it a free set of tyres for use during testing. Previous winners this season include JHR&#8217;s Georgi Dimitrov and Virtuosi Racing&#8217;s Michael Shin, meaning each winner thus far in 2022 has come from a different team, highlighting the strength in depth of the competition in the globally-recognised first step on the FIA single-seater pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another winner will be chosen after Oulton Park on 11-12 June, and at each of the six subsequent race meetings in the 2022 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phinsys by Argenti&#8217;s Adam Fitzgerald has been named the Pirelli &#8216;Hardest Charger&#8217; for his overtaking exploits at the ROKiT F4 British Championship certified by FIA triple header at Thruxton last weekend [28-29 May].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fiaformula4.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
