Alex Ninovic will remain at Rodin Motorsport for his sophomore season in the Formula Regional European Championship next year.
The 19-year-old Australian has been with the team since 2023, during its Rodin Carlin guise, when he started his single-seater career in Spanish Formula 4. He came 10th in the championship with one podium, then was British F4 runner-up in 2024.
That campaign featured five wins, 13 other podiums and four poles, and Ninovic stepped up to FRegional last year via GB3. He won the title, racking up nine victories and 10 poles, then headed to FREC.
“I’m really excited to be returning to FREC for a second season in 2027. We’ve put in a lot of work this year, and the goal is to build on everything we’ve learned and come back stronger and more consistent,” said Ninovic.
“A big thank you to everyone at Rodin Motorsport and Rodin Cars for their continued support and belief in me. I’m looking forward to what we can achieve together next year.”
Ninovic’s rookie campaign started on a high with a podium and two fastest laps in round one at the Red Bull Ring, but he never matched that weekend and came 10th in the standings.
He had warmed up for FREC by racing in FRegional Middle East at the start of 2026, and he was two places higher in the points table there with a win and two other podiums. Later this month he will contest the FRegional World Cup-awarding Macau Grand Prix with Rodin.
“Alex returning for a second season [in FREC] gives us a strong platform to build on, understanding the level required to take another step forward and push for strong results,” commented Rodin’s sporting director Been Huntingford.
