We are thrilled to announce that Brando Badoer will be continuing his journey with Van Amersfoort Racing for the upcoming 2024 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine. After a successful year in the prestigious Italian F4 Championship, Brando is making the leap to the competitive FRECA series.

At just 17 years old, Brando Badoer, an Italian racing prodigy, has swiftly carved his name in the motorsport arena. His good performance and results have put him in the picture at McLaren and he will be evaluated as an option for the McLaren Driver Development Programme this season.

“I am proud to be fitting again in Van Amersfoort racing colours for my debut in FRECA. Ready and excited to face this new challenge together with my team. Looking forward to get it started!”

“We are extremely pleased and proud to continue the cooperation with Brando”, says VAR’s CEO Rob Niessink. “He showed year after year working with us big potential and we are glad that he decided again to stay with us for his next step in his career! We look forward and expect a lot of good results and looking forward starting the season with him.”
