F1 Academy today announced that, following substantial global interest, eighteen female drivers, all eligible to compete in 2026, have been carefully selected to take part in the series’ first ever rookie test on 17th - 18th September at Circuito de Navarra.

American emerging talent, Emma Scarbrough, will represent KICK Sauber F1 Team in the first F1 Academy rookie test, taking place in Navarra, Spain, at the end of the month. The 17-year-old will drive a team-branded car, operated by Rodin Motorsport, in a six-hour-long test across two sessions.

Trident Motorsport is proud to confirm an agreement with Freddie Slater for the 2026 FIA Formula 3 Championship. The 17-year-old British driver will contest the upcoming season in the team’s colours, joining a squad that has produced the category’s last three Drivers’ Champions: Gabriel Bortoleto, Leonardo Fornaroli and Rafael Câmara.

In the last round of the series, in Kristianstad (Sweden), their Tony Kart Racer 401 T chassis won the bronze medal in the OKJ category of the championship, thanks to the results achieved by Ilie Tristan Crisan during the season.

The grand finale of the 2025 Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy unfolded in spectacular fashion at the Circuito Internazionale Napoli. In addition to crowning the 2025 champions, BRP-Rotax and WSK Promotion also unveiled the first draft of the 2026 calendar.
