Marta Garcia, the Formula 1 Academy champion, secures a fully financed spot in the 2024 Formula Renault Eurocup under Alpine's (Freca) banner. Representing Prema, Garcia's journey marks a significant advancement in her racing career, effectively bridging the gap between Formula 4 and Formula 3.
Her financial backing stems from key sponsors, including F1 Academy, Tatuus, Prema, and F1's tire supplier, Pirelli. This opportunity elicits excitement from Garcia, who sees it as a pivotal moment in her professional journey.
Susie Wolff, F1 Academy's managing director, underscores the program's dedication to empowering young women in motorsport. She highlights the significance of providing Garcia, their inaugural champion, with a fully funded seat in Freca and emphasizes Garcia's ongoing partnership with Prema, the reigning team champions in this category.
Garcia's path to success commenced with her triumphant performance at the US Grand Prix, securing her status as the first-ever F1 Academy champion. This achievement placed her out of reach for her competitors, Lena Buhler and Hamda Al Qubaisi, in the exclusive female-only feeder series.
Eager to tackle the forthcoming challenges, Garcia expresses her profound appreciation for F1 Academy's outstanding initiative. She acknowledges the demanding work ahead with her team but remains resolute in her commitment to excel both on and off the track.
Additionally, Freca introduces a rule that allows teams to field a fourth car in the upcoming season if they enlist a driver who ranks within the top three of the F1 Academy standings.
In the second season of the F1 Academy series in 2024, the financial contribution required from drivers to participate is reduced to 100,000 euros (£87,000), a move aimed at increasing accessibility for emerging talents.
