FIA Formula Regional European Championship

The championship will be organised with the full support of the FIA and in collaboration with ACI, the Italian ASN, which has also worked with Alpine on the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine (FRECA). The successful partnership contributed significantly to the series’ growth over recent years. This collaboration will provide a solid foundation for achieving sporting excellence, ensuring technical equity, and fostering long-term growth. Both parties have agreed on the key terms through a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding and will be finalising the long-form agreement and the strategic plan in the near future.

Since its inception in 2019 under the guidance of ACI and Alpine, the championship, certified by the FIA, has established itself as one of the most competitive and international single-seater platforms within the FIA’s global development structure. Over the past seasons, more than 160 drivers representing 44 nationalities and 22 teams have competed in the series. The category has become a proven stepping stone in the FIA single-seater pyramid, with graduates including Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Franco Colapinto.

The new championship will feature the Gen 2 Formula Regional chassis and a new tyre specification from Pirelli, ensuring the very latest safety innovations, technical modernity, and better alignment with FIA global standards. This will modernise the Formula Regional category and reinforce its position as a true international benchmark in driver development.
