2024 Formula Regional European Championship Explained

The 2024 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine was a multi-event, Formula Regional open-wheel single seater motor racing championship held across Europe. The championship featured a mix of professional and amateur drivers, competing in Formula Regional cars that conform to the FIA Formula Regional regulations for the championship. This was the sixth season of the championship and the fourth after a merger with Formula Renault Eurocup which resulted in the change of the engine supplier to Alpine.

Prema Racing won the Teams' Championship for the third consecutive year, clinching it at the first race of the penultimate round. One race later and with two races to spare, their driver Rafael Câmara won the Drivers' Championship. RPM driver Noah Strømsted won the Rookie Championship at the final race of the season.

Teams and drivers

The same twelve teams that contested the 2023 season were also pre-selected for the 2024 season.[1] Arden Motorsport and Monolite Racing later relinquished their entries, confirming their withdrawal in April, while Iron Dames joined the championship and fielded an all-female lineup.[2] [3]

Team changes

Arden Motorsport withdrew from the championship, instead electing to focus on their GB3 and GB4 efforts.[2]

Monolite Racing, a mainstay in the series since 2020, also elected to withdraw after talks with GB3 race winner James Hedley and Jacques Villeneuve protégé Kevin Foster did not materialise.[7] [8]

Iron Dames, the female talent development project of Iron Lynx, an endurance racing team owned by the same parent company as Prema Racing, entered the championship with two cars.[3]

Driver changes

Reigning Teams' Champions Prema Racing saw two of their drivers leave the championship, with reigning Driver's Champion Andrea Kimi Antonelli graduating to the team's Formula 2 outfit and Lorenzo Fluxá joining Cool Racing's ELMS program.[9] [10] To replace them, Prema signed 2023 Euro 4 champion, McLaren junior Ugo Ugochukwu, and 2023 F4 UAE Champion James Wharton.[11] [12]

R-ace GP had an all-new lineup in 2024 as their three drivers Martinius Stenshorne, Matías Zagazeta and Tim Tramnitz all graduated to FIA F3 with Hitech Pulse-Eight, Jenzer Motorsport and MP Motorsport respectively.[13] [14] [15] The team signed three F4 graduates for their 2024 lineup: UAE Formula 4 runner-up and Ferrari junior Tuukka Taponen stepped up to FRECA after winning FRMEC with the team over the winter, Red Bull junior Enzo Deligny debuted in the category after coming fourth in Spanish F4 with Campos Racing and Zachary David joined the series after a pair of seventh places in Italian F4 and Euro 4 with US Racing.[16] [17]

Van Amersfoort Racing saw Joshua Dufek graduate to FIA F3 with PHM AIX Racing, Niels Koolen move over to America to join HMD Motorsport in Indy NXT and Kas Haverkort join GP Elite in the Porsche Supercup.[18] [19] [20] The trio was replaced by three drivers stepping up from F4. 2022 Brazilian F4 champion Pedro Clerot graduated to Formula Regional after coming sixth in the 2023 Spanish F4 Championship with MP Motorsport.[21] The other two drivers stemmed from VAR's own Italian F4 and Euro 4 outfits in Ivan Domingues, who already debuted for the team as a guest driver during the final two FRECA rounds of that year, and Brando Badoer, who also collected Formula Regional experience through a FRMEC campaign with PHM AIX.[22] [23]

RPM also saw all three of their drivers leave the series. Santiago Ramos joined Trident for F3, Adam Fitzgerald joined Turn 3 Motorsport in USF Pro 2000 and Macéo Capietto joined Iron Lynx in ELMS.[24] [25] [26] The team signed two F4 graduates and a series sophomore in Noah Strømsted, who stepped up from Spanish and UAE F4 competition after a successful guest driver cameo in 2023, Edgar Pierre, who came 9th in French F4 in 2023, and Giovanni Maschio, who embarked on his second season in the championship after coming 34th with Monolite Racing in 2023.[27] [28] [29]

G4 Racing saw Alessandro Giusti move over to ART Grand Prix for his sophomore season, while Pierre-Alexandre Provost joined MV2S in the European Endurance Prototype Cup and Michael Belov left the championship.[30] Three more F4 drivers joined the grid for G4, two of them with previous Formula Regional experience. Romain Andriolo came fourth in French F4 in 2023, Jesse Carrasquedo Jr. competed in Spanish, Italian and UAE F4 before debuting in the championship as a guest driver for VAR for two rounds in 2023, and Kanato Le, the first Japanese driver racing in the series, came seventh in British F4 ahead of a FRMEC campaign with R-ace GP.[31] [32] [33]

MP Motorsport promoted Valerio Rinicella from their Spanish and UAE F4 outfit after he came third and fourth respectively in 2023.[34] He replaced Sami Meguetounif, who stepped up to Formula 3 with Trident.[35] The team also recruited Nikhil Bohra, who moved over from Trident after coming 12th with the Italian team in 2023 to fill the seat of the late Dilano van 't Hoff.[36] MP's lineup was completed by Nikita Bedrin, who embarked on the 2024 campaign alongside an FIA F3 campaign with PHM Racing after four guest appearances in 2023 with Monolite and VAR. His dual campaign saw him miss the rounds at Spa, Hungaroring and Paul Ricard to prioritize F3. He replaced Victor Bernier, who joined Martinet by Alméras in the Porsche Supercup.[37] [38]

Trident signed two new drivers to replace Eurocup-3-bound Owen Tangavelou and MP-bound Nikhil Bohra. The team recruited Alpine Academy driver Nicola Lacorte, who stepped up to the category after coming ninth in both the Italian F4 and the Euro 4 Championship in 2023, and Ruiqi Liu, who also contested multiple Formula 4 championships in 2023, culminating in a fourth place in the Formula Winter Series with US Racing.[39] [40]

ART Grand Prix promoted two drivers to FIA F3 in Laurens van Hoepen, who remained with their outfit, and Charlie Wurz, who joined Jenzer.[41] [42] Marcus Amand also left the team to join Schumacher CLRT in the Porsche Carrera Cup France.[43] Alessandro Giusti replaced van Hoepen, moving over from G4 Racing after taking three victories and sixth place with the team in his rookie season in 2023.[44] Yaroslav Veselaho replaced Amand after making his Formula Regional debut in the Middle Eastern championship with Xcel Motorsport.[45] 2023 French F4 champion Evan Giltaire remained with ART after already joining the team as a guest driver for the last two rounds of the 2023 season in place of Wurz.[46] F1 Academy runner-up Léna Bühler completed ART's lineup, returning to the championship where she drove for R-ace GP in 2021 and 2022 as part of an agreement allowing FRECA teams to run a fourth car for one of the top three F1 Academy finishers.[47]

Saintéloc Racing fielded an all-new lineup after Lucas Medina, Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. and Esteban Masson left the team, with Fittipaldi Jr. moving to the Eurocup-3, Masson joining Akkodis ASP in the World Endurance Championship and Medina joining Team Virage in the Ligier European Series.[48] [49] [50] The team signed three F4 graduates: Matteo De Palo, who competed in four different Formula 4-level series in 2023 and came fifth in the Spanish championship, French Formula 4 runner-up Enzo Peugeot and Théophile Naël, who won the Spanish F4 championship and already completed a FRMEC campaign, both also with Saintéloc.[51]

KIC Motorsport saw their only full-time driver Maya Weug leave the team to join Prema Racing in F1 Academy.[52] The team recruited Costa Toparis, who drove for Evans GP in FRMEC at the start of the year and received technical assistance from the Australian team.[53] Nandhavud Bhirombhakdi, who competed in various Formula 4 championships in the previous two years, and Alex Sawer, who came fifth in the inaugural Indian F4 Championship, joined him.[54] [55]

Newcomers Iron Dames fielded an all-female lineup consisting of 2023 F1 Academy champion Marta García, who was previously slated to drive a fourth Prema entry,[56] and Mercedes junior Doriane Pin, who also competed in F1 Academy with Prema Racing.[3]

Mid-season changes

Both Roman Bilinski and Doriane Pin were absent from the third round at Zandvoort as they were recovering from injuries: Pin fractured her ribs in an incident during the Spa round, while Bilinski suffered a road accident that saw him get hospitalized.[57] [58] Bilinski later disclosed that he underwent surgery to repair two broken vertebrae, which kept him out of the cockpit for an extended period.[59] KIC Motorsport also altered its lineup, with GB3 race winner John Bennett called up to replace Costa Toparis.[60]

Ahead of the fourth round, KIC Motorsport announced Chinese driver Gao Yujia, 31st in FRMEC in his first Formula Regional appearance, would pilot the team's No. 43 car previously occupied by Toparis and Bennett for the remainder of the season.[61] Trident announced that Michael Belov would return to the championship to replace the injured Bilinski at the Hungaroring, marking the fourth year where he would compete in the series.[62] At MP Motorsport, Isaac Barashi stepped in for Bedrin, returning to the team that he came 30th in FRMEC with.[63]

Jesse Carrasquedo Jr. left G4 Racing and the championship ahead of round 5 to join Campos Racing in Eurocup-3. He was replaced by Brazilian F4 race-winner Álvaro Cho.[64] Doriane Pin returned from Mugello onwards.

Barashi once again stepped in to replace Bedrin at Paul Ricard.[65]

Ahead of the round at Imola, Léna Bühler announced she would end her campaign with ART Grand Prix early. KIC meanwhile announced the return of Maya Weug for that round in place of Gao Yujia. She had last competed with the team in 2023, before moving to F1 Academy for 2024.[66] Bilinski returned after recovering from his injury, while G4 Racing's Álvaro Cho and KIC's Alex Sawer were absent.[67] Sawer was initially announced to return for the round at Spielberg, but withdrew.

In the days leading up to the penultimate round, G4 Racing announced that FR Americas podium finisher Jett Bowling would join the team for the remainder of the season.[68] KIC also announced a new driver sigining for Barcelona in Enzo Scionti, who drove for Monolite Racing in 2023 where he came 31st.[69]

Season report

Opening rounds

FRECA’s 2024 season began where 2023 finished: at the Hockenheimring. Prema’s Rafael Câmara claimed pole position for the opening race of the year.[72] A slow start saw him drop to third behind the R-ace GP pair of Enzo Deligny and Tuukka Taponen, but he only needed eight corners to retake the lead. Taponen then took second place from Deligny, before Câmara’s teammate James Wharton was able to pass both of them and move into second. The top three finished that way, but Wharton was later penalised one position, handing second place back to Taponen.[73] VAR’s Ivan Domingues surprised in qualifying for the second race by taking pole position,[74] but Wharton started the race in first after his previously disallowed lap times were reinstated. ART’s Evan Giltaire took the lead, while Wharton dropped down, collided with VAR’s Pedro Clerot and retired. Giltaire held off Câmara through four safety car interruptions to win his first FRECA race, with Domingues third. Câmara ended the first round with a 18-point lead over Giltaire.[75]

Spa hosted round two, and Trident’s Roman Bilinski took pole position for the first race in a wet qualifying session.[76] He survived the first lap in the lead while Câmara, who had started sixth, had already climbed up to fourth. The Brazilian then fought with RPM’s Noah Strømsted for third, before both were able to pass R-ace GP’s Zachary David for second. The pair continued forward and demoted Bilinski to third, before Câmara took the lead. He held on to win the race, while Strømsted was handed a post-race penalty that dropped him to fourth.[77] Câmara went on to take pole position for the second race[78] and began the race fighting off Wharton before Taponen went past both of them into Les Combes. Câmara retook the lead on lap four, with the Finn then dropping behind Strømsted and Wharton, who had a lock-up into La Source earlier that removed him out of contention for the win. With three wins out of four races, Câmara had already gapped his closest challenger, Giltaire, by 60 points in the standings after just two weekends.[79]

Next up was Zandvoort, where Wharton was fastest in qualifying for race one.[80] Heavy rain prompted a safety car start, with the first half of the race completed under yellow. When the field was released, Wharton quickly built up a gap before spinning at Hugenholtz and dropping to 16th. That promoted Taponen into the lead ahead of Câmara and ART’s Alessandro Giusti before the safety car came out again. Taponen was able to hold Câmara behind at the final restart to claim his maiden FRECA win.[81] Qualifying for the second race was topped by Câmara by over half a second.[82] VAR’s Brando Badoer started second, while Giusti fought off Strømsted for third. After an early safety car, the top three gapped the rest of the field and their positions remained unchanged until the end of the race. Taponen tried taking fourth from Strømsted, but found no way past before then losing out to Clerot and dropping to fifth. Still, he now was second in the championship standings, albeit with a massive 73-point disadvantage to runaway leader Câmara.[83]

Mid-season rounds

Round four was held at the Hungaroring and it began in wet conditions with Taponen topping the first qualifying session.[84] He comfortably controlled the first race to take a lights-to-flag victoy, while the other podium places were fiercely contested. David and Badoer were second and third for the opening part of the race, before Badoer attacked David for second place and other cars behind joined the fight. Both managed to stay in their positions, before a post-race penalty for David handed Badoer second place and promoted Câmara onto the podium.[85] Taponen’s advantage continued onto the next day as he took another pole position.[86] Prema’s Ugo Ugochukwu rose past Badoer and Câmara from fourth to second at the start, but ran off track later to allow both of them back past. The positions remained static from thereon, but post-race penalties changed the podium again. Câmara dropped to sixth, allowing Ugochukwu into third. Another faultless victory by Taponen saw him reduce Câmara’s championship lead to 49 points.[87]

At Mugello, Taponen secured his third consecutive pole position for the first race.[88] Badoer started alongside him but was unable to overtake at the start and soon had to defend against Clerot following an early race restart. Despite the pressure, Clerot could not find a way past. Badoer maintained close pursuit of Taponen for several laps before the Finn extended his lead and secured a comfortable victory. Clerot, who initially held third, was overtaken by Domingues on the penultimate lap, while Câmara finished in fifth place.[89] Badoer ended Taponen’s pole position streak by setting the fastest time in qualifying for race two.[90] Wharton, starting alongside Badoer, claimed the lead at the first corner, with Câmara following through two corners later. Badoer managed to reclaim second place and pursued Wharton closely but could not mount a challenge, resulting in Wharton’s first FRECA victory. Câmara, initially in third, fell to fifth following a post-race penalty, which promoted Clerot to third and Taponen to fourth, 24 points behind in the championship.[91]

Round six of the championship at Paul Ricard commenced with Câmara securing pole position for the opening race.[92] Michael Belov, filling in for the injured Bilinski at Trident, lined up beside him on the front row. The race concluded without significant changes at the front, as Câmara clinched his fifth victory of the season, while Badoer maintained third place to achieve his sixth consecutive podium.[93] In the second qualifying session, held under improving track conditions, Câmara secured pole again by setting his lap time last.[94] Heavy rain before the second race led to a safety car start. Upon its withdrawal, Giusti executed an impressive restart from the third row, advancing to second place. A spin from Badoer brought the safety car back out, and on the next restart, Giusti moved into the lead. Câmara then fell down the order, ultimately finishing sixth. The race concluded with Strømsted and G4 Racing’s Kanato Le completing the podium. With Taponen failing to finish, Câmara extended his championship lead to 52 points.[95]

In its return to Italy, the championship saw Câmara maintain an unbeaten streak in qualifying, securing pole position for the first race at Imola.[96] However, after jumping the start, he received a five-second penalty, while Taponen advanced to second place, overtaking Giusti. Wharton also moved past Giusti before a safety car paused the race. With Taponen and Wharton then fighting over second behind, Câmara managed to extend his lead over the field and crossed the finish line eight seconds ahead, thus overcoming the time penalty.[97] In the second race's qualifying, Câmara achieved his fourth consecutive pole position.[98] Going into the first corner, Taponen rear-ended Câmara, resulting in the Finn's retirement and Câmara dropping to the back of the field. Giusti seized the lead, with Strømsted and David following, while Wharton later managed to take third during a restart. Giusti claimed victory, and Câmara executed an impressive comeback aided by ten retirements to finish ninth, solidifying a 61-point lead over Taponen.[99]

Closing rounds

Wharton interrupted Câmara’s qualifying streak by securing pole position for the first race at the Red Bull Ring.[100] Giusti challenged Wharton at the start, but Wharton held onto the lead, with Bilinski moving into third place. This order remained unchanged during two safety car restarts, while Giltaire climbed through the field. On lap seven, Giltaire overtook Bilinski for third and soon closed in on Giusti to secure second place. Despite him pressuring Wharton, the Australian prevailed and won the race.[101] The following day, the track conditions were very wet, allowing Strømsted to claim pole position.[102] The track then dried for the race, where Théophile Naël of Saintéloc Racing took the lead, followed by Strømsted and Badoer. Naël maintained his lead through multiple safety car periods and resisted a late challenge from Strømsted, who ran wide on the penultimate lap, allowing Naël to achieve his first victory. Câmara recorded two non-points finishes, but with Taponen failing to score himself, the points gap remained unchanged.[103]

At the penultimate round in Barcelona, Wharton secured pole position for the first race.[104] Câmara, starting alongside him, had a bad start and fell behind Taponen, enabling Wharton to establish an early lead. The Australian extended his advantage as Taponen defended second place from Câmara. The order at the front remained unchanged, with Wharton claiming victory by over six seconds, while Taponen's second-place finish kept his championship hopes alive for the time being.[105] In the second race, Wharton once again started from pole,[106] and an early safety car following a crash allowed him to maintain his lead. Taponen retired in the opening incident, ensuring Câmara's championship win. He had a quiet race, finishing fourth, while Wharton converted his second pole into another victory. Giusti and Clerot battled for second place behind, with the Frenchman successfully holding the Brazilian behind. Wharton’s two wins moved him ahead of Taponen in the standings, 60 points adrift of champion-elect Câmara.[107]

The 2024 racing season concluded with a round at Monza Circuit, where Ugochukwu set the fastest qualifying time on a wet track. The first race, also in the wet, began behind the safety car. Ugochukwu quickly created a gap to Bilinski, who came under pressure from Câmara. On lap four, Câmara overtook Bilinski and began chasing Ugochukwu, while a multi-car battle for third place unfolded. Wharton emerged victorious in that fight, securing third place, as Câmara closed in on Ugochukwu but was unable to prevent him from claiming his maiden win.[108] The final race of the season saw Naël on pole,[109] but Câmara, starting third, made a strong start and took the lead. Giusti and Ugochukwu overtook Naël in the following laps before two safety car periods disrupted the race. After the first restart, Ugochukwu made a mistake that dropped him down the order, allowing Wharton to claim third place. An incident involving two simultaneous crashes led to a red flag, and the race was not resumed, securing Câmara his seventh win of the year.[110]

At the conclusion of the season, Câmara secured the championship with seven victories, 309 points, and a 73-point lead over his nearest rival—records since the series adopted a two-race weekend format in 2021. Despite strong mid-season performances from Taponen and a late-season surge by Wharton, who scored the most points in the final four rounds,[111] Câmara's dominance was rarely in question. He established a commanding lead early in the campaign and maintained consistent results, including multiple wins and podium finishes, to decisively outpace his competitors. His only significant setback occurred at the Red Bull Ring, but with Taponen unable to capitalize and Wharton’s rise coming too late, Câmara secured the title in the penultimate round. Meanwhile, the championship's appeal remained strong despite the departure of two teams and continued growth of other series such as Eurocup-3 and GB3, with grid sizes consistently exceeding 30 entries.
