The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine fired into life at Circuit Paul Ricard this morning with the opening Collective Test of the weekend, held under dry and warm conditions. It was Enzo Deligny (R-ace GP) who set the pace, clocking a best time of 1:58.862, leading a tightly packed field with 12 drivers covered by less than a second.

The second Collective Test of the weekend saw Ean Eyckmans (RPM) deliver an outstanding performance to top the timesheets as the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine continued its preparation at the Hungaroring. On a warm afternoon with stable track conditions, the Belgian rookie, who is competing in his first season in single-seater racing, stopped the clocks at 1:39.107, further underlining his rapid adaptation to the category.
 

Rafael Camara, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Dino Beganovic, and before them Grégoire Saucy, Formula Regional builds champions. A quick look at the series’ roll of honour reveals a growing legacy of excellence, with many former drivers now competing in Formula 1, including Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, and Gabriel Bortoleto. Co-organised by ACI Sport and Alpine Racing since 2021, the championship now enters its fifth season, kicking off this weekend at Misano, an all-new venue for the series, with a 26-car grid representing ten teams.
 

The first official outing of the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine came to a close this afternoon at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with the fourth and final session of the two-day pre-season collective test.
