At the heart of an exponential rise in 2025, Rayan Caretti saw his efforts rewarded. Fourth in the French F4 championship in 2025, the Franco-Thai driver officially confirmed his place on the Eurocup-3 grid this week for the 2026 season. He joins the Spanish team GRS Team and will partner with American Andre Rodriguez, also a rookie in the category.
“I am thrilled to be joining Team GRS for the upcoming Eurocup-3 season. This is an excellent opportunity for me to continue my development in car and to get closer to my dream of becoming a pilot Formula 1 I’m eager to unlock the car’s full potential, with the support of a high-performing team, in order to achieve excellent results. the young pilot rejoiced. I am extremely grateful to Josep and the GRS team for this opportunity, but I also want to thank my sponsors, as it is thanks to them that I can compete at this level this season. I also wish to express my gratitude to my parents for their unwavering support, which has allowed my dream to become a reality. To all of you who have followed and supported me for many years, I look forward to seeing you on the legendary Eurocup 3 circuits and sharing my new motorsport adventures with you!
Winner of races 1 and 3 at Magny-Cours last year, Rayan Caretti completely dominated the fourth meeting of the 2025 French F4 season. Second in race 2 at Spa-Francorchamps, he frequently demonstrated impressive speed, though sometimes his enthusiasm was somewhat limited, a quality he still needs to work on. Particularly impressive at the F4 World Cup in Macau, Caretti gave the winner—also a product of the FFSA Academy, Jules Roussel—a real run for his money.
In this instance, Rayan Caretti succeeds, among others, the French drivers Esteban Masson (winner of the first Eurocup-3 series) and Jules Caranta (who started last year as a Campos driver and secured several pole positions). This season, two drivers will have the opportunity to hear the French national anthem played in the European championship, as Rafaël Pérard will be competing for Palou Motorsport, partnered with Filipina Bianca Bustamante.
