Recently crowned F1 Academy champion Marta Garcia will transition into the Formula Regional European Championship with the Prema team next
Last weekend, Garcia became the first-ever champion of the all-female series that took place at the United States Grand Prix. She won the title comfortably after securing seven race victories at the Circuit of the Americas on Saturday. The series, which utilizes Formula 4 machinery, was established last year to help nurture and prepare young female drivers for higher levels of racing. Garcia is a member of the Prema team, which has a strong background in Formula 2 and 3. Prema, in collaboration with F1 Academy, Tatuus (the FRECA chassis manufacturer), and Pirelli (the tyre supplier), provided financial support for Garcia’s seat in the series. The F1 Academy has reduced the entry fee for drivers to secure a seat for the 2024 season. Garcia expressed gratitude towards F1 Academy and emphasized the importance of this initiative in propelling drivers with exceptional results to higher levels. Susie Wolff, the Managing Director of F1 Academy, highlighted the significance of providing a fully funded seat in FRECA for the inaugural champion and emphasized Garcia’s continued partnership with Prema for her future development.
