The final afternoon session at Circuit Paul Ricard brought two productive days of pre-season collective testing to a close for the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine. Under sunny skies, Hiyu Yamakoshi (Van Amersfoort Racing) topped the timesheets with a best lap of 1:57.470, confirming the Japanese driver’s strong form ahead of the championship’s fifth season.

The 2025 Formula 4 season is ready to launch with the publication of the Italian F.4 Championship and Euro 4 Championship provisional calendars. As for the Italian Championship, the 7 seasonal rounds have been confirmed.

July was a busy month for the Eurocup3 single-seater championship, with no fewer than three events held in the space of four weeks. Swiss driver Dario Cabanelas was able to continue his progress in three different countries and on three leading European circuits: Paul Ricard in France, Zandvoort in the Netherlands and Motorland Aragon in Spain. With the MP Motorsport team, Dario enjoyed a number of satisfying experiences, particularly during the Qualifying sessions, but also fell victim to incidents which deprived him of deserved results.

It was a race full of twists and action in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, which this afternoon concluded the Paul Ricard round under the rain. Alessandro Giusti (ART Grand Prix) was a prophet in his own land, starting from the fifth position on the grid and, with an excellent race pace, secured an important victory.

At Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, the fifth round of the Italian F.4 Championship, Freddie Slater returned to victory this morning. After an unfortunate first day that saw him forced to retire in Race 1, the British driver of PREMA Racing bounced back to win. Strengthening his grip on the Championship, Slater made a long comeback from the fourth block of the starting grid, securing his eleventh win and a total of 265 points in the standings.
