Formula 1 Academy winner Marta Garcia has been handed a fully paid-for drive in the 2024 Formula Renault Eurocup by Alpine (Freca) series. The 23-year-old will compete for the leading Prema team in the category, which is a stepping stone between the Formula 4 and Formula 3 series. Garcia said she was “thrilled” and added Freca would be “a big step”. Now the rewards follow for Garcia, who said: “We know we will have to work a lot with the team to succeed but I’m really determined to do well. In addition, Freca will from next season allow teams to run a fourth car if they sign a driver who finishes first, second or third in the F1 Academy standings.
