The third round of the 2021 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine hasn’t been an easy one for JD Motorsport. The Italian outfit fielded its two rookie drivers at the iconic Monte Carlo street circuit aware of the challenge ahead. 
 

Race 1 for the third round of the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine season was held on Saturday morning at Monte Carlo. Both JD Motorsport drivers were new to the iconic street circuit, and they only had one practice to learn it, the 50-minute Free session scheduled on Thursday. Then, they immediately had to face the qualifying session, which is crucial in Monaco since overtaking is virtually impossible. 
 

The final list of the 12 teams that will participate to the 2021 season of the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine – certified by FIA and promoted by ACI Sport has been confirmed.

JD Motorsport is delighted to announce that Eduardo Barrichello will drive for the team in the 2021 Formula Regional European by Alpine championship. The 19-year-old Brazilian, son of former Formula 1 racer Rubens Barrichello, is coming from a positive 2020 season, having claimed three wins, nine podiums and three pole positions en-route to second place in last year's USF2000 Championship.

The new series, the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine – certified by FIA, which sees ACI Sport as Promoter, is definitely the official step from F4 towards F1, with the important certification by FIA, allowing 25 points of Super License for the winner of the series. 16 teams have applied, and 13 have been pre-selected to the 2021 championship, all of them potentially ready to line up 3 cars (with the possibility of a 4th car for a woman driver), in a season that is definitely showing an amazing potential for what regards professionality, high competition and amazing show.

While Lorenzo Colombo (Bhaitech Racing) dominated the action at Circuit Paul Ricard to take his second win of the year, all eyes were focused on title contenders Victor Martins (ART Grand Prix) and Caio Collet (R-ace GP). With a fourth-place finish on Saturday, Victor Martins clinches the title in season fifty of the Formula Renault Eurocup and makes it two titles for his team prior to the final race of the season.
