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.

The Feature Race, which closed out the ninth weekend of the FIA Formula 3 Championship, held on the twisty Hungaroring circuit, crowned Rafael Câmara as the new champion of the category. The Brazilian secured the drivers' title for Trident Motorsport, closing the season one round from the end. In addition to Câmara's victory, the team can also celebrate Charlie Wurz's fourth-place finish and a strong performance from Noah Strømsted.

The FIA Formula 3 Championship returned to action on the ups and downs of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, home to this weekend's eighth round of the category. In a closely contested qualifying session, the Trident Motorsport drivers put in a brilliant session. Rafael Câmara set the second-fastest time. Charlie Wurz also qualified well, finishing ninth, two places ahead of teammate Noah Strømsted.
 

Ferrari Driver Academy talent Tuukka Taponen became the 2024 Formula Regional Middle East Champion (FRMEC) in the final round at Dubai Autodrome. Victory in Saturday’s opening race of the weekend for R-ace GP’s 17-year-old Finnish star was enough to put him beyond reach of his only remaining title rival, Taylor Barnard, and for good measure, Taponen put on a dominant display in Sunday’s season finale to further underline his superiority with another win.

Three different drivers stood atop the podium during a thrilling Formula Regional Middle East Championship Certified by FIA (FRMEC) Round 3 at Dubai Autodrome, but it was a fourth who emerged from the action with an expanded points lead. While Taylor Barnard, Nikhil Bohra, and Rafael Câmara tasted glory on the weekend, in the longer game it is Tuukka Taponen who is looking ever more difficult to beat to the ultimate prize, with two events – comprising a total of six races – remaining.
