Season report

[edit]

First half

[edit]

The first round of the 2026 Euroformula Open Championship was held at the Algarve International Circuit. Enzo Yeh claimed pole position for Team Motopark, before four cars stalled off the line at the start of the first race. Yeh and his two teammates Diego de la Torre and Everett Stack were not among those and assumed the top three positions. The leader remained untroubled for the remainder of the race to seal victory as Stack passed De la Torre for second place. Race two saw BVM's Divy Nandan start first, with teammate Alessandro Famularo slotting into second. Nandan ran wide and fell to fifth on the penultimate lap, handing the lead and the win to Famularo. Yeh finished third, before a penalty dropped him to fifth and Stack inherited the podium. Race three began with a slow start for both front-row starters, allowing Stack into the lead. A collision with his teammate Jesse Carrasquedo Jr. then put both out of contention, allowing Yeh to claim a second victory ahead of De la Torre and Famularo to end the weekend leading the standings.[24]

Round two at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps saw Yeh take pole position in qualifying once again. He led Carrasquedo Jr. throughout the opening part of the first race, before a lock-up for the latter saw De la Torre take second. Carrasquedo Jr. and Stack then collided fighting over third, allowing BVM's Javier Herrera through on the final lap. Race two saw Motopark's Lorenzo Castillo jump the start as Yeh rose from sixth on the grid to the lead on lap two. Stack initially held second, before being handed a drive-through penalty. That handed second to Herrera, with Carrasquedo Jr. taking third. Race three began under safety car after rain. Despite a closed pitlane, Yeh and Famularo took on slick tires right away. The rest of the field changed tires when the safety car was withdrawn, handing a big lead to Yeh and Famularo. The pair received drive-through penalties, which dropped Famularo to fourth behind Stack and Drivex's Gino Trappa, but made no difference for Yeh, who took his fourth win in a row to grow his championship lead over De la Torre to 49 points.[25]

Next came the series' debut at Misano World Circuit, where Herrera secured pole position in qualifying. He gapped points leader Yeh throughout the opening race as Famularo pressured Stack for third. The Venezuelan got past him on lap nine after multiple attempts and secured the final podium spot as championship chaser De la Torre finished outside the points. The second race saw Motopark's Wiktor Dobrzański start in first, with Carrasquedo Jr. alongside him as Yeh and Herrera slotted in behind. Herrera pressured Yeh until he was able to pass him on lap ten, before Carrasquedo Jr. was able to do the same to the leader on lap 16 to claim victory. A post-race penalty for Herrera handed third back to Yeh, who was then unable to partake in the formation lap for race three and dropped to the back. Carrasquedo Jr. won that race from pole position as Stack and De la Torre secured podium positions. Yeh recovered to sixth by lap four before he fought Herrera and ultimately remained sixth, still increasing his lead over De la Torre to now 65 points.[26]

The first half of the season concluded at the Hungaroring, and Herrera took pole position again. A bad start to the first race for him and teammate Famularo saw Stack and Yeh move into first and second, before Herrera reclaimed second off Yeh with a move that was later penalized for contact. Meanwhile, Stack was free to build a gap and convert his lead into victory. Herrera's penalty saw him drop to fourth behind Famularo. Carrasquedo Jr. had pole position for race two, but also got away slowly, allowing De la Torre and Yeh past him. Yeh tried taking the lead twice, but De la Torre held on to victory as Carrasquedo Jr. dropped down the order to fifth and Stack took the final spot on the podium. The battle for the lead repeated itself in race three, as polesitter De la Torre once again had to contend with Yeh, wo overtook Carrasquedo Jr. at the start. This time, Yeh was able to force De la Torre into a mistake and take the lead on lap 15. He claimed victory as his three top-two finishes placed him 74 points ahead of De la Torre in the championship.[27]

Second half

[edit]

Round five at Circuit Paul Ricard saw pole position in qualifying go to Carrasquedo Jr. ahead of Herrera and De la Torre. Yeh started fourth and immediately moved into second at the start of the first race, before Stack took third off Herrera. The top three positions remained unchanged afterwards as Carrasquedo Jr. took a controlled victory. Reverse grid pole position for race two went to Drivex's Filippo Fiorentino, who led Trappa before the latter dropped to sixth. Dobrzański fended off Herrera for second place, before the latter dropped back towards De la Torre and the pair made contact. Resulting damage for De la Torre saw Herrera take third place as Fiorentino claimed the first win for Drivex since 2019. Race three saw Koller initially hold on to pole position as Famularo dropped behind Stack, who claimed the lead soon after. Yeh then suffered a puncture while trying to take third, before Trappa moved into second ahead of Koller. Stack took victory to move into second in the standings as Yeh's lead was reduced to 60 points after he finished tenth.[28]

Three drivers withdrew ahead of round six at the Hockenheimring, among them second-placed man Stack, as Carrasquedo Jr. took another pole position. Yeh, however, had the better start from second place and took the lead into the first turn. Dobrzański initially claimed third, before losing out to De la Torre on lap three. By that point the leading pair was gapping the remaining six cars, and Yeh claimed the seventh win of his campaign. Castillo and Koller formed the front row for race two, before Famularo passed both on the opening lap. The pair then made contact and both retired, before De la Torre lost out to both Carrasquedo Jr. and Yeh, who finished second and third after Famularo held them both off. Race control mandated wet tires as it rained ahead of race three, but Herrera and Famularo still started on dry tires. The pair then pitted while the pitlane was closed, and both were disqualified. De la Torre won an otherwise uneventful race ahead of Dobrzański and Yeh, moving into second place in the standings, 85 points behind leader Yeh.[29]
