A four-way title showdown awaits at Hockenheim, which this weekend hosts the eighth and final round of an FIA Formula Regional European Championship season that has seen five different drivers lead the standings.

Salim Hanna converted pole position into victory in the second of the three races at Imola, becoming the ninth different winner of the 2026 FIA Formula Regional European Championship season. The PREMA Racing driver led from the first lap to the last. Behind him, Oleksandr Bondarev finished second on his series debut with Van Amersfoort Racing, also taking top honours in the Rookie class, while CL Motorsport’s Reno Francot took third, returning to the podium for the first time since his home race at Zandvoort last May.

The FIA Formula Regional European Championship heads to Le Castellet this weekend (17-19 July) for the sixth of its eight scheduled rounds, which also marks the final event before the summer break.

Rashid Al Dhaheri added a second win to his 2026 FIA FREC campaign at Monza, following his maiden success at the Red Bull Ring. Starting from the fourth row of the grid, the R-ace GP driver produced an impressive comeback to take victory in a race affected by three Safety Car periods.

Kean Nakamura-Berta secured his second victory of the season at The Temple of Speed. Having started from pole position in the first of the weekend’s three races, the PREMA Racing driver dominated from lights to flag and scored valuable points to move into the championship lead.
