From Wikipedia - Reading time: 8 min

The 2025 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine is a planned multi-event, Formula Regional open-wheel single seater motor racing championship scheduled to be held across Europe. The championship will feature a mix of professional and amateur drivers, competing in Formula Regional cars that conform to the FIA Formula Regional regulations for the championship. This will be the seventh season of the championship and the fifth after a merger with Formula Renault Eurocup which resulted in the change of the engine supplier to Alpine.

Driver changes

[edit]

Reigning Teams' Champions Prema Racing saw all three of their drivers graduate to FIA Formula 3, with reigning Drivers' Champion Rafael Câmara and James Wharton joining Trident and ART Grand Prix respectively while Ugo Ugochukwu remained with Prema.[2][3][4] The team promoted two drivers from their own Formula 4 operation in Freddie Slater, winner of the 2024 F4 UAE and F4 Italian championships, and Rashid Al Dhaheri, who came fourth and tenth in the same two championships in 2024.[5][6] Jack Beeton, who was runner-up to Slater in Italian F4 with US Racing, will complete Prema's lineup.[7]

Tuukka Taponen left R-ace GP and the series as he moved up to FIA Formula 3 with ART Grand Prix.[8] He was replaced by Akshay Bohra, who won the Euro 4 Championship in 2024 with US Racing.[9]

Van Amersfoort Racing's Brando Badoer will step up to FIA Formula 3 and join Prema, while Ivan Domingues will leave the team.[10] To fill their seats, the team promoted Hiyu Yamakoshi from its Italian F4 outfit after he came third in 2024, and signed Dion Gowda, who finished 11th with Prema in that championship.[11][12]

Saintéloc Racing signed Tim Gerhards, who steps up to FRECA after coming 23rd in the 2024 Spanish F4 Championship with Monlau Motorsport.[13]

Reigning Rookies' Champion Noah Strømsted left RPM and the series as he moves to Trident in FIA Formula 3.[14]

Trident will have two new drivers as Alpine Academy driver Nicola Lacorte and Roman Bilinski both stepped up to FIA Formula 3 with DAMS and Rodin Motorsport respectively.[15][16]

Race calendar

[edit]

Ten planned circuits for the 2025 season were first announced in August of 2024.[17] The provisional calendar, with two events yet to be dated, was announced on 27 September 2024,[18] before being finalized on 2 October 2024. Mugello will not be part of the circuit lineup for the first time in series history, with the championship instead opting to return to Misano, where it last raced in 2020.[19] Three pre-season tests will be held at Barcelona, Misano and Paul Ricard.
