Double R Racing is fielding Yuanpu Cui, Bart Harrison and Lorenzo Campos in Eurocup-3’s main and winter series this year.

The team, formed by Kimi Raikkonen and Steve Robertson in 2004, is returning to full-time racing after a four-year break. Following the conclusion of Euroformula’s 2021 season, its only race outings have been two British Formula 4 rounds in 2023.

As a test-only team since, Double R has run drivers in single-seaters at circuits across Britain. Its sister company Fine Moments operated W Series’ fleet of Formula Regional cars until 2022.

For its racing return in Eurocup-3, which has switched from FRegional cars to the new third-tier Dallara 326 chassis with TOM’S-developed 1.6-litre turbocharged Toyota engines, Double R will field three drivers.

Former Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 junior Cui began 2026 by coming ninth in FRegional Oceania. His best result was fourth, in contrast to his points-free 2025 outings in FRegional’s European and Middle East championships, and the 18-year-old was 18th in GB3 last year as a part-timer.

Harrison has a podium from his two-round venture into GB3, but has primarily raced in F4 since 2024. A race-winning cameo put the 18-year-old 10th in F4 Central European Zone last year, he was seventh in Formula Winter Series’ standings, made the podium en route to 14th in Italian F4 and was 20th in British F4.

Campos, 16, represented Angola in the 2024 Motorsport Games F4 Cup and went points-free in Spanish F4’s main and winter championships in 2025.

“This is a good line-up to get us back into racing, and we are hoping to work with the drivers for some good results this season,” said Double R’s team principal Anthony Hieatt.

“Since leaving full-time racing at the end of 2021, we spent two years working on the cars used in the film F1: The Movie, and throughout this period we have done some extensive testing with our F4 and Formula 3 cars. We’ve probably been the busiest race team in Europe without actually doing any racing! As a group, we’ve been doing around 100 test days a year.”

Double R has a long history racing Dallara chassis, and ran Mike Conway to the 2006 British F3 title and Macau Grand Prix victory in a Dallara F306.

“The fact that this is a championship with fresh Dallaras meant that this was a good time to come back racing,” added Hieatt. “And it’s a fantastic opportunity for us to compete against some of the new powerhouses in single-seater racing like Hitech, Campos Racing and MP Motorsport. In our old days we never shied away from competing against Prema and Carlin. We really look forward to working with the Eurocup-3 organisers, who have made us feel very welcome.”

The team’s testing activities mean its personnel are all in place to transfer back into a racing environment.

“We’ve got a really experienced group of people who have been connected to the team for a period of years,” said Hieatt. “Everybody’s looking forward to the challenge.”

Bart Harrison will step up to GB3 for the last two rounds of the season, joining JHR Developments’ line-up.

The 18-year-old has been racing in several Formula 4 championships this year, all with Jenzer Motorsport.

He came seventh in the Formula Winter Series with two podiums, took two wins and a podium in a F4 Central European Zone cameo, is currently 16th in Italian F4 with one podium and sits 14th in E4 after the opening round.

“I am extremely excited to be joining JHR Developments for the final two rounds of the GB3 championship,” said Harrison.

“This will be my first experience in a car of this speed and performance, and I’m eager to learn as much as possible from the team and my team-mates. I know the team has a great track record of helping young drivers progress and I’m confident that, with their support, I can make a positive impression at Donington Park and Monza.”

Harrison is a single-seater sophomore, having split up his 2024 between an incomplete British F4 campaign with Chris Dittmann Racing, a half-season in FWinter Series with Rodin Motorsport and an Italian F4 outing with Jenzer.

“We are very pleased to welcome Bart to the team,” said JHR’s team principal Steven Hunter.

“He has shown that he has a huge amount of talent and potential and, while GB3 is a big step up, we have no doubt he will adapt. We’re looking forward to working with him and helping him to maximise this opportunity.”

Formula 4 Central European Zone’s season got underway at the Red Bull Ring with a 21-car field.

Drivers learned the track in a session on Friday, and Jenzer Motorsport’s Bart Harrison led Real Racing Team’s Luca Viisoreanu by a third of a second. Jenzer’s Javier Herrera was over half a second behind in third.

Harrison remained on top in qualifying on Saturday morning, setting a 1m32.156s to beat team-mate Gino Trappa to race one pole by 0.313 seconds. Viisoreanu was 0.422s back, and AS Motorsport’s Chase Fernandez beat Herrera to fourth.

Trappa made a very slow start to race one, and Fernandez slid down the inside of him at turn one as Harrison held onto the lead. There was a clash between Renauer Motorsport’s drivers, with Simon Schranz eliminated immediately while Hady Mimassi retired in the pits. Mathilda Paatz pitted too for a new front wing.

Varying levels of confidence under braking meant many passes through the first few corners before the safety car appeared.

Racing resumed on lap five, and Fernandez was right behind Harrison before darting to the outside at turn one and getting ahead, albeit off-track. Harrison moved back past on the inside at turn three as Fernandez exceeded track limits again.

Trappa went down the inside of Fernandez at turn four, and Harrison pulled away. He won the 15-lap race by 8.56s. Fernandez was a further 0.626s back.

Viisoreanu was fourth, a position he had to recover after falling to sixth on lap six following a lock-up while battling with Herrera. Jenzer’s Max Karhan and Nico Cortes were sixth and seventh, and Zengo Motorsport’s Benett Gaspar won a lengthy multi-car battle for 11th.

The results set the grid for race two on Sunday, and Fernandez again made a better start than Trappa. The inside line meant Trappa could hold him off at turns one and three, where Harrison went off but remained ahead.

Viisoreanu overtook Fernandez at turn four, and although he got back past down the inside at the penultimate corner they both then went off. By lap three the safety car was out, with Fernandez, Paatz, Schranz and Viisoreanu having retired.

Racing resumed on lap four, and Harrison kept Trappa a comfortable distance behind thereon to win.

Herrera was third until he began battling with Maffi Racing’s David Walther mid-race. They traded places multiple times, then Herrera dropped two wheels into the gravel at turn four. His team-mate Teo Schropp went past and had a similar fight with Walther, but could not get past.

After further offs and more fighting, Herrera finished sixth behind Karhan. Mimassi held off Cortes until the final lap when both he and Maffi’s Teodor Borenstein got past.

Rain fell before race three, which the slick-shod Viisoreanu had pole for. Fernandez started alongside on wet tyres.

Fernandez stalled as the safety car led the field away, and after being wheeled into the pits he rejoined a lap down. Herrera pitted for slicks at the end of lap one, and Frantisek Nemec crashed late in lap two.

The field was set free, and Viisoreanu lost three places into turn one. He dropped three exiting it, as the safety car returned. Walther pitted at the end of the lap for a new front wing and slicks, but his new wing got broken so he required another.

Racing resumed on lap six, with Trappa leading Harrison, Karhan, Viisoreanu and Cortes. It was wet at turn three but dry everywhere else, and on lap seven Viisoreanu picked off the cars ahead to take the lead.

Borenstein crashed and the safety car was needed again, then in the two laps left of racing (after the wet-shod runners had tried cooling their tyres) Viisoreanu ran away, Trappa established himself in second and most other positions were decided in three-wide fights.

Harrison took third by 0.033s over Karthan, with Herrera and Mimassi within 0.066s of the podium 0.023s as Cortes beat Walther to seventh by 0.004s.

Jenzer Motorsport has announced a four-car line-up for the upcoming Formula Winter Series in Iberia.

The Swiss team has signed Enea Frey, Bart Harrison, Alba Hurup Larsen and Artem Severeiukhin, a quartet with a range of experience.

Frey’s father raced for Jenzer in Formula Ford in the 1990s, and he joined the team for his single-seater debut last year afyer coming 14th in the CIK-FIA World championship for OK karts and ninth in the WSK Final Cup and 10th in the WSK Euro Series for OK Junior karts in 2023.

In his rookie year of single-seater racing he came 25th in FWinter Series, then was 15th in Formula 4 Central European Zone, 16th in Italian F4 and 17th in E4 (nee Euro 4). The 16-year-old’s best results, two fourth places, came in his F4 CEZ cameo.

Harrison, 17, is also a single-seater sophomore who has already worked with Jenzer as he drove for the team in the 2024 Italian F4 finale. He kicked off his year by coming 42nd in FWinter Series with Rodin Motorsport, then joined Chris Dittmann Racing in British F4 and came 20th in the standings with three sixth places his best results.

Larsen is using FWinter Series to prepare for her F1 Academy season with MP Motorsport. The 16-year-old won the senior final of the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission’s Ferrari Driver Academy-affiliated Girls on Track Rising Stars programme in 2023, then came 18th in Indian F4 last year after contesting the first two rounds. She will miss one of FWinter Series’ four rounds.

The oldest but least experience driver in Jenzer’s line-up is the 18-year-old Severiukhin.

The Russian’s career hit a high and then a low in swift succession in April 2022 as he won the opening round of the CIK-FIA European championship for OK karts at Algarve but then made an alleged Nazi salute on the podium and was promptly disqualified from the event and was dropped by the Ward Racing team.

He returned to action nine months later on KZ2 shifter karts, coming seventh in the WSK Champions Cup, 14th in the European championship and 21st in the WSK Final Cup in 2023, then third in Champions of the Future, fourth in the FIA Karting World Cup, ninth in WSK SMS and 14th in WSK CC in 2024. Just over a year ago he also topped an Italian F4 test.

Jack Beeton and Freddie Slater added to their Italian Formula 4 pole position tallies at Monza, where the 38-car field featured several new faces.

Hudson Schwartz continued as Alvise Rodella’s replacement at Van Amersfoort Racing after debuting last time out at Barcelona, and Dante Vinci replaced Andrija Kostic. The 16-year-old Australian came 30th in the WSK Super Master Series for OK karts this year.

AKM Motorsportreplaced Wiktor Dobrzanski with Mattia Marchiante, who came 36th in Euro 4 with the team, Andrei Duna returned to Real Racing Team after missing six three rounds and Jan Koller reunited with BVM Racing.

Jenzer Motorsport was without Ethan Ischer for the weekend, butadded Bart Harrison and Ciro Sobral to its line-up. Harrison came 20th in British F4 this season, and Sobral is currently fifth in Brazilian F4.

ART Grand Prix also made its first series appearance with McLaren-backed Bianca Bustamante and Williams junior Lia Block. They usually race for the team in F1 Academy, where they are currently seventh and eighth in the standings.

The final change to the entry list was at Maffi Racing, where Kirill Kutskov took the place of the absent Gabriel Holguin. Kutskov began 2024 by coming third in Saudi Arabian F4, then was F4 Central European Zone runner-up.

Drivers faced wet conditions throughout Friday, and in the first 40-minute practice session in the morning nobody did more than 10 laps as three red flag periods interrupted running.

R-ace GP’s Luka Sammalisto and Enzo Yeh traded fastest laps at first, before US Racing’s Maxim Rehm pipped Yeh to top spot. VAR duo Gustav Jonsson and Hiyu Yamakoshi each lowered the pace, before Prema’s already crowned champion Slater put in two laps good enough to be quickest.

He ended the session 0.396s ahead of Jonsson, with team-mate Kean Nakamura Berta 0.837s behind in third and US’s Gianmarco Pradel 0.859s back in fourth. Everyone else was more than a second off the pace.

FP2 was also shortened by red flags, caused by an incident for Koller. Before that, there had been more running and faster laptimes. Nakmaura laid down the first benchmark, and was swiftly beaten by team-mates Dion Gowda, Alex Powell and Slater.

Yamakoshi and Jonsson were then at the top, followed by Jenzer’s Reno Francot, PHM Raciong duo Davide Larini and Maximilian Popov, then Beeton.

Slater surpassed Beeton 15 minutes in, but then did not feature at the top again until the very end as Pradel, Popov, Beeton, Jonsson and Francot each lowered the pace. Francot led the way with a 1m52.895s before Slater beat him by 0.3s at the end.

Nakamura demoted him to third, and also within a second of Slater were Pradel, Rehm and Prema’s Tomass Stolcermanis.

The first qualifying session towards the end of the day was wetter and slower, and once more disrupted by an incident. This time Real Racing Team’s Luca Viisoreanu was the guilty party.

It was a battle between Prema and US’s line-ups to be fastest, and Beeton prevailed by almost half a second by setting a 1m58.547s. Slater was second-best, and both Francot and Powell were 1.16s behind. US’s Akshay Bohra and Pradel were fifth and sixth, ahead of four Prema drivers.

Block and Harrison were the red flag culprits in Q2, which had a similar story at the top to the previous session. This time Slater was fastest, setting a 1m57.666s to lead Nakamura by 0.318s. Beeton and Jonsson were 0.582s and 0.657s behind respestively, and AKM Motorsport’s Emanuele Olivieri made it into the top top five but was 1.188s off pole.

Drivers’ second-best laptimes from the two qualifying sessions set the race three grid, and Slater was on top again by 0.332s over Sammalisto. Pradel and Powell will start third and fourth, ahead of Francot and Beeton.

Karter Bart Harrison will make the switch to car racing next year as he joins Chris Dittmann Racing in the British Formula 4 championship.

The 16-year-old has tested with several F4 teams through 2023 to prepare himself, having spent the past two years racing on X30 Senior karts and on X30 Junior karts in the two years before that.

Highlights of his junior karting career including winning the IAME Winter Cup (2020 & ’21), coming second in the British Karting Championship, fourth in the IAME Euro Series, fifth in the IAME Warriors Final and 33rd in the IAME I-Games. He was also selected to race in the FIA’s Karting Academy Trophy in 2021, which he finished eighth in.

On X30 Senior karts he was British championship runner-up, fourth in the IAME Winter Cup and 14th in the IAME Euro Series.

“Taking this step up into single-seaters is a massive change, so it’s going to take some time to adapt to that, but I’m really excited. I hope that together with Chris Dittmann Racing, we can have a really successful year,” said Harrison.

We made a lot of progress during the test days I did with the team earlier this year. I enjoyed every moment of it, which is very important. I progressed the most within myself and on the timing screens when I was with CDR, so I knew they were going to be the right fit for me going into the British F4 championship.

Stepping into the car for the first time, it was a huge change from what I’m used to. It took about five days for me to start feeling more in control of the car. We’ll see how the first round at Donington Park goes, but I’m feeling confident.”
