The weekend at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will remain memorable for fans of the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, as Rafael Camara secured the championship title. The Brazilian driver needed only a fourth-place finish to claim the season crown, with one round still left to race. The Ferrari Driver Academy star becomes the fourth driver to inscribe his name on the series’ roll of honor and the first Brazilian to win the championship organized by ACI Sport and Alpine Racing. Camara’s season includes 6 victories, two second places, and two third-place finishes.

James Wharton’s weekend in Barcelona started on the right foot, as the Australian driver claimed his third win of the season in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine after securing his fourth pole position of the year. Wharton’s win in Race 1 not only earned him a spot on the top step of the podium but also moved him ahead of Brando Badoer (Van Amersfoort Racing) in the overall championship standings, where he now holds third place.

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a staple on the Formula 1 calendar, plays host to the penultimate round of the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine. As the ninth of ten double-header events, the 4.675 km track will witness another fierce battle in one of Europe’s most competitive single-seater series.

It was a perfect race for James Wharton at the Red Bull Ring, where the Prema Racing driver, after starting from pole, managed to stay in control from the first to the last lap, securing his second victory of the season in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, achieving this result during the 75th race in the history of the series. Applause also went to Evan Giltaire, who, driving one of ART Grand Prix’s cars, staged a sensational comeback, rising from twelfth to second place after challenging Wharton in the final corners.
