The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, and the Automobile Club d’Italia (ACI) are proud to announce the selected teams for the FIA Formula Regional European Championship (FREC) 2026.

Designed to deliver the next step in the Federation’s structured driver development pathway between FIA-certified Formula 4 and the FIA Formula 3 Championship, the Formula Regional European Championship was recently confirmed as having full FIA-championship status. This new chapter for Formula Regional in Europe represents a significant evolution of the junior single-seater landscape, with strengthened governance and a new technical package.

For its first season under full FIA status, the championship will feature a competitive lineup of ten leading teams, bringing together established frontrunners and ambitious challengers to form a grid of the highest quality.

The confirmed teams for 2026 are:

·       ART Grand Prix

·       CL Motorsport

·       G4 Racing

·       MP Motorsport

·       Prema Racing

·       R-ace GP

·       Rodin Motorsport

·       RPM

·       Van Amersfoort Racing

With the Gen 2 Formula Regional chassis, new tyres, and this strong roster of teams, the FIA Formula Regional European Championship 2026 will solidify its reputation as the benchmark for aspiring drivers on the road to the FIA Formula One World Championship.

FREC reinforces the FIA’s commitment to a clear and compelling Single-Seater pyramid, ensuring a logical progression for drivers from FIA-certified Formula 4, through FIA Formula Regional, and on to FIA Formula 3 and beyond.
