FIA Formula Regional European Championship wrapped up two highly productive test days at Circuit Paul Ricard, with all 10 teams expected on the 2026 grid out in force ahead of the season opener at the end of April.

The final classification of Race 2 at Circuit Paul Ricard, which marked the fifth round of the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, has been officially confirmed.

The opening race of the 2025 E4 Championship took place at Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet. Thanks to a perfect start, Gabriel Gomez claimed the inaugural victory after starting from third on the grid. The US Racing ace jumped into the lead at Turn 1, taking advantage of the fierce battle between pole-sitter Kean Nakamura-Berta and Sebastian Wheldon. The two Prema Racing drivers went on to complete the podium behind the Brazilian. Nakamura-Berta, the Slovak-Japanese driver currently at the top of the Italian F.4 Championship, will have another strong opportunity to aim for the top step in Race 2, starting once again from pole. Gomez, meanwhile, will start from pole in Race 3.

A textbook victory was delivered by Freddie Slater this afternoon at Circuit Paul Ricard, host of the fifth of ten double-header rounds on the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine calendar. The Prema Racing driver led from lights to flag after starting from pole position, also setting the fastest lap mid-race. It was a flawless performance from the British driver, who, with his fourth win of the season, reclaimed the top spot in the overall standings by just three points over Matteo De Palo.

The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine completed its second and final Collective Test of the day at Circuit Paul Ricard, with Freddie Slater emerging as the fastest driver on track. The Briton set the benchmark early on with a best lap of 1:57.782, confirming the competitive pace shown by the Prema Racing squad throughout the day.
