The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine returned to the track this morning at Monza for the final qualifying session of the year. The atmosphere was electric ahead of what promises to be a historic afternoon at the Temple of Speed, where the series will contest its 100th race and crown not only the 2025 Drivers’ Champion, already decided in favour of Freddie Slater, but also the Teams’ title, still open between R-ace GP and Prema Racing.

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 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.
