Jenzer Motorsport has named the first member of its FIA Formula 3 line-up for 2024, signing Formula Regional graduate Matias Zagazeta.
The Peruvian was British Formula 4 runner-up in 2021 in his second year of car racing, and has spent the past two seasons in the Formula Regional European Championship.
He had a best finish of 18th during his 2022 campaign with G4 Racing before moving to R-ace GP for 2023, when he came 22nd in the standings after two points finishes.
Zagazeta made his F3 debut as part of an all-rookie line-up for Jenzer at the Macau Grand Prix in November, alongside Charlie Wurz and Max Esterson.
“I am delighted to confirm that I will be driving for Jenzer Motorsport for the 2024 FIA F3 season,” said Zagazeta. “It is an incredible opportunity for me, and I can’t thank Jenzer enough for this opportunity and to my sponsors for making this possible.
“Working already with the team during testing and the Macau Grand Prix helped us understand the position we are in and get to know the team. I am excited to see what next year will bring and we will work hard to achieve some memorable results together.”
Team boss Andreas Jenzer added: “We are looking forward to continue working with Matias after getting to know him in testing and at Macau. He is a great young racing driver with a big passion and strong motivation. It takes a big heart to step up to the third highest level of motorsport, and we are happy that Matias will be at the steering wheel of one of our FIA F3 racing machines this season.”
