Double R Racing will field 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 is switching 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.”
