Spanish outfit Drivex School has announced a roster of drivers it will field in the Formula Regional-based Eurocup-3 and Spanish Formula 4 championships next year.
For Eurocup-3 it has signed Victoria Blokhina and Oscar Wurz, with Blokhina staying with the team after coming 27th in the standings this season with a best finish of 11th (although that came in March’s non-championship round).
That was an improvement on the 18-year-old Russian’s time in F4, the category she stepped up to from karts.
In two full F4 United Arab Emirates seasons her best result was a 19th place, although in the 2022 F4 UAE Trophy (which did not award points) she finished 11th and sixth in the two races. She also raced in Italian F4 in 2023, coming 35th in the standings with two 15th place finishes the highlights.
Wurz, the 17-year-old son of two-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Alexander, began his single-seater career last year with two Danish F4 outings that resulted in a podium. At the end of 2023 he won twice at Bahrain in the Saudi Arabian F4 Trophy Event.
He began this year by contesting the Saudi Arabian F4 championship, and was fifth in the points with three podiums (plus another podium in a follow-up Trophy Event at Kuwait Motor Town). Next up was F4 Central European Zone, and Wurz won two races en route to the title. He also fitted an Italian F4 cameo, the Motorsport Games’ F4 races and two Spanish F4 rounds into his schedule. On his debut in the latter he finished 13th, which put him 29th in the standings, and drove for Drivex.
There are now three members of Drivex’s Spanish F4 line-up, with Gino Trappa and Christopher Feghali joining the already signed Filippo Fiorentino.
Trappa comes from Argentina and was fifth in the Brazilian F4 championship this year with one win. Like Wurz, he made a Spanish F4 cameo with Drivex too and came 16th in the Motorsport Games’ F4 contest.
Feghali became a member of the Red Bull Junior Team this September, and Minardi Management began overseeing his career this year too. He comes from a rallying family, as father Abdo, uncle Roger and cousin Alex have all been successful in the discipline, while Abdo has also found fame in drifting with Red Bull sponsorship.
The 15-year-old Feghali came 13th in the CIK-FIA World Championship for OK Junior karts and 20th in the IAME Euro Series for X30 Junior karts in 2023, and this year won the Rotax Max Challenge Lebanese title for Rotax Senior karts.
He already knows Drivex well from a testing programme with the team, and he contested the final two Spanish F4 rounds of 2024. A 12th place finish was his best result.
Drivex has not confirmed if any of the additions to its 2025 line-ups will also race in the winter series for Eurocup-3 and F4 cars that take place on the Iberian peninsula and begin next month.
