Bianca Bustamante eyes strong Eurocup-3 showing after Winter Series campaign

Filipina race car driver Bianca Bustamante is setting her sights on a competitive 2026 Eurocup-3 campaign following a productive stint in the Winter Series.

The 21-year-old speedster enters the season with momentum after completing three rounds in the Eurocup-3 Winter Series. She raced at the Algarve International Circuit and Circuito del Jarama in February, before wrapping up at MotorLand Aragón earlier this month.

“My first Eurocup-3 Winter Series campaign is certainly a journey I will always remember,” Bustamante said. “Every weekend brought new challenges, and every session helped me grow as a driver.”

With those lessons in hand, the Laguna native now turns her full attention to the main championship, which kicks off on May 1 at Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, France.

“Now we turn our attention to testing ahead of the start of the main Eurocup-3 Championship,” she added. “I cannot wait to see what we can achieve this year.”

Bustamante will compete for Palou Motorsport and PREMA Racing, the same group that helped her secure two race victories during her 2023 F1 Academy campaign.
