The 2024 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine is a planned multi-event, Formula Regional open-wheel single seater motor racing championship 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 sixth season of the championship and the fourth after a merger with Formula Renault Eurocup which resulted to the change of the engine supplier to Alpine.

Driver changes

Reigning Teams' Champions Prema Racing signed 2023 F1 Academy champion Marta García as part of an agreement between the two series to allow FRECA teams a fourth entry if they sign a top three driver from the previous F1 Academy season's standings.[4] Joining her will be McLaren junior and 2023 Euro 4 champion Ugo Ugochukwu.[5]

R-ace GP signed UAE Formula 4 runner-up and Ferrari junior Tuukka Taponen, who will also contest the Middle Eastern Championship with the team, to replace Formula 3-bound Martinius Stenshorne.[6]

Van Amersfoort Racing signed 2022 Brazilian F4 champion Pedro Clerot, who will graduate to Formula Regional after coming sixth in the 2023 Spanish F4 Championship with MP Motorsport.[7]

G4 Racing recruited Formula 4 graduate Romain Andriolo, who came fourth in the French championship in 2023.[8]

Trident recruited Alpine Academy driver Nicola Lacorte, who will step up to the category after coming ninth in both the Italian F4 and the Euro 4 Championship in 2023.[9]

Saintéloc Racing will field an all-new lineup consisting of three F4 graduates: Matteo De Palo, who competed in four different Formula 4-level series in 2023 and came fifth in the Spanish championship, French Formula 4 runner-up Enzo Peugeot and reigning Spanish F4 champion Théophile Naël, who won the championship driving for the same team.[10][11][12]
