Swedish racer set for new challenge for 2023
PREMA Racing is delighted to announce that 2022 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine Champion Dino Beganovic will graduate to the FIA Formula 3 Championship with the team in 2023.
A longtime Ferrari Driver Academy member, the 18-year-old Swede began his career with PREMA in 2020 and quickly proved competitive in Formula 4. For 2021, he moved to the highly-competitive Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, claiming his first podium in his maiden season.
For 2022, he stayed in the FRECA championship and quickly emerged as a leading contender, winning three races in the first three events, and adding a fourth later in the season. His outstanding performance and consistency eventually allowed him to wrap up the title at the end of race 1 of the series finale at Mugello.
Beganovic already drove a PREMA-prepared FIA Formula 3 car in the postseason collective test at Jerez de la Frontera.
Rene Rosin - Team Principal
“We have been working with Dino since the very beginning of his single seater career, and we are elated to continue for 2023. We went through Formula 4 and Formula Regional with increasingly impressive results together, and his run in FRECA shows how competent and outstanding he has become as a driver. The 2023 season will be a key step in shaping the rest of his career and there is great promise. We are willing to support Dino in making a positive impact right from the start, and we will work as hard as possible throughout the winter months.”

“I am extremely happy to be racing with PREMA, my team, in the 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship. It will be our fourth year together, and I'm very proud to continue working together. PREMA has an amazing history in Formula 3 and won at least one championship per year there. I think it is definitely a step in the right direction for my future and for the team, as we have been working for a long time together. Testing in Jerez put us in a good position with the preparations for next year, and we want to continue from that.”
