Reigning Spanish Formula 4 champion Thomas Strauven will step up to Eurocup-3 in 2026 with Campos Racing.
The 17-year-old Belgian raced for the team this year, starting off in the Spanish F4 Winter Championship where two victories and four other podiums from nine races, along with three poles, delivered him the title.
In the main championship, he won 10 times, had seven other podiums and started on pole 10 times. He was crowned champion by 157 points, a tally only four drivers reached in the season.
“I am very happy to continue with Campos next year in Eurocup-3,” said Strauven.
“After a great year together, continuing to progress with the same team is the ideal decision. I am excited about the challenge ahead and motivated to keep learning and improving. Thank you to everyone who continues to support me in this project and make it possible.”
Strauven will be heading into his fourth year of single-seater racing. In 2023 he made a Spanish F4 cameo with MP Motorsport, then he joined Rodin Motorsport for a double programme in 2024. He came 12th in the Formula Winter Series standings with one win, and seventh in Spanish F4 where he started his campaign with a pole, a victory and a third place but only had three further podiums before dropping off the grid before the last round.
“It is excellent news to have Thomas with us for next season’s Eurocup-3,” said Campos’s team principal Adrian Campos Jr.
“The way he clinched the F4 Spain title was impeccable, one for the history books in terms of victories and podium finishes, and almost doubling the points tally of his closest rival.
“He is perfectly prepared for this new challenge ahead, which will be a step into the unknown for everyone as we introduce the new Dallara 326–Toyota car. We are delighted to continue working with him and very much looking forward to extending our successful record together.”
