Nerea Marti has no hope of entering FRECA, let alone Trident. Because she is unable to enter the top three of this year's F1 academy and will need to pay in full to participate in FRECA next year, she does not have the financial capability to do so. And according to recent news, she will switch to GT4 next year as one of four drivers in the 2025 BMW M Racing Academy.
Objectively speaking, her talent is far inferior to Marta Garcia, and even if she manages to enter FRECA, her performance will be even worse than Garcia's. Moreover, her financial situation is not good, and her single-seater open-wheel racing career has come to an end.

Yea, I didn’t think Marti would be signed so I just threw a random name down lol

Unless he's able to do both, I thought I heard towards the end of the Spanish F4 season that Keanu Al Azhari was doing EuroCup-3 next season.

u/thereal84 Prema Racing Nov 27 '24
Yea, I heard that too. I’m pretty sure I heard that for Colnaghi as well, but I wasn’t for sure.

u/ForeverAddickted Mecachrome Nov 27 '24
I wouldnt be surprised if Colnaghi was going to FRECA, what with him doing FR Macau GP
But could be wrong, as didnt hear about him... Was certainly surprised about Al Azhari though.

With the news of Prema joining GB3, I'd love to see Doriane there, mostly because I'd love to see how multiple women do in the new car, and I think the car looks great. And I hope Maya ends up wherever she wants to be. She seemed to like the FRECA car, so maybe 4th seat in Prema FRECA if she wants that.

I think Doriane will be in the 4th Prema FRECA seat. But I really hope Maya gets a seat with a good team as well.

See that's why I'm hoping Doriane to GB3, because I want that seat for Maya. Not everyone clicks with the FRECA car, especially when hopping back and forth cars a lot, and getting in Prema instead of KIC. But Maya seems to like it, and I hope she will be focusing on one car, which Doriane definitely won't be. But, in general, I like the look of the GB3 car so much more. It looks like a better prep car for up the ladder, especially with the added DRS that I am excited for. And, honestly, I like the GB3 tracks slightly better, because I predict Barcelona and Imola will be soon dropped from the f1 calendar, so therefore from F2 and F3 as well. I expect she'll be in the 4th FRECA prema car though, and Maya will be somewhere worse, possibly only doing F1 Academy again.

Yani Stevenhydens would also be in FRECA, don't know where but he was testing with ART. Let's see
MP entry and cars is bought by CL motorsport, Chinese company who own DJI drones. They're f4 programme looks good with Chi Zhenrui
Jin Nakamura was testing freca but also tested f4 with r-acd yesterday so his plans are not fully clear and Zachary David hasn't tested in a while with the team but there was fourth r-ace car running so it could be him let's see. Rest looks good except Marti won't be in Freca.
Vaselaho is going to sainteloc not art

Thanks so much! Yeah, I wasn’t sure about Stevenheydens, I figured he would- but I also thought that maybe he would go somewhere else, but wasn’t sure.

Why would Capietto come back? Post season testing has been going on and you’re quite far off with some of these
