The FIA Formula Regional European Championship heads to Monza on 19-21 June as part of the ACI Racing Weekend for the fourth of eight rounds on the 2026 calendar. With six different winners in the opening seven races, the series featuring the second-generation Tatuus T-326 single-seaters reaches the halfway point of the season at the Temple of Speed, home of the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix.
After moving to the top of the standings at the most recent round in Spa, Mercedes-AMG F1 Team Junior Programme member Rashid Al Dhaheri now leads the championship by just one point. Thanks to his consistency and a victory at the Red Bull Ring season opener, the R-ace GP Emirati driver holds a slender advantage over Sebastian Wheldon, the only driver to have claimed two victories so far this season, both coming with MP Motorsport at Zandvoort.
Behind them, 13 points adrift of Al Dhaheri, sits Kean Nakamura-Berta. The PREMA Racing’s driver has claimed three pole positions, in addition to a victory at Spielberg and two further podiums.
The other winners so far this season have been Reno Francot, who took CL Motorsport to its maiden victory in Austria, while rookie Alexandre Munoz (ART Grand Prix) and Maksimilian Popov (Trident Motorsport) shared the wins in Belgium.
Looking to bounce back on home soil is R-ace GP’s Emanuele Olivieri, who claimed a podium finish with third place at Spa and currently leads the Rookie standings by three points over Munoz.
Podium finishers this season also include Rodin Motorsport pair Alex Ninovic and Reza Seewooruthun, as well as Alexander Abkhazava (MP Motorsport) and Salim Hanna (PREMA Racing).
