The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine celebrated a major milestone today at Monza with its 100th race, marked by another dominant performance from Freddie Slater. The Prema Racing driver, who sealed the Drivers’ title yesterday, delivered a flawless drive from pole to take his eighth victory of the season, entering the record books by matching the all-time winning tally of Paul Aron and Grégoire Saucy. The record for the most career wins in the series remains in the hands of Rafael Câmara, who scored nine victories over two seasons, including seven in 2024.
 

Freddie Slater has officially been crowned the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine Champion following a decisive performance in Race 1 at Monza, the final round of the season organised by ACI Sport and Alpine Racing. The British driver adds his name to the prestigious list of past champions, joining Grégoire Saucy (2021), Dino Beganovic (2022), Andrea Kimi Antonelli (2023), and Rafael Camara (2024).
 

Rafael Camara, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Dino Beganovic, and before them Grégoire Saucy, Formula Regional builds champions. A quick look at the series’ roll of honour reveals a growing legacy of excellence, with many former drivers now competing in Formula 1, including Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, and Gabriel Bortoleto. Co-organised by ACI Sport and Alpine Racing since 2021, the championship now enters its fifth season, kicking off this weekend at Misano, an all-new venue for the series, with a 26-car grid representing ten teams.
 

Gabriel Bortoleto ended pre-season testing on top, setting a 1:47.417 to lead the way on the final day of running for Trident. He narrowly headed up the field from Gabriele Minì, just 0.035s off the top spot with Grégoire Saucy in the top three once again.

Rookies Gabriele Minì and Nikola Tsolov have become the newest members of the Alpine Academy, expanding the growing list of F1 academy-backed drivers announced for the 2023 Formula 3 season to eight.
