# 2025 Formula Regional European Championship

The 2025 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine is a planned multi-event, Formula Regional open-wheel single seater motor racing championship scheduled to be held across Europe. The championship will feature a mix of professional and amateur drivers, competing in Formula Regional cars that conform to the FIA Formula Regional regulations for the championship. This will be the seventh season of the championship and the fifth after a merger with Formula Renault Eurocup which resulted in the change of the engine supplier to Alpine.

## Teams and drivers

All teams compete using identical Tatuus FR-19 cars powered by 1.8l Renault engines on Pirelli tyres. Nine of the eleven teams that contested the 2024 season were also confirmed to be pre-selected for 2025.
