FRECA champion Beganovic joins Prema for 2023 F3 campaign

Prema Racing has announced that Dino Beganovic will step up to the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2023.

Beganovic raced full-time in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine this year with the Italian squad, emerging as the series champion.

The Swede took four victories and a further eight podiums on his way to the title.

Beganovic has raced for Prema every year during his single-seater career, which began in 2020. He was also present with the team at the post-season F3 test from Jerez earlier this year.

“I am extremely happy to be racing with PREMA, my team, in the 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship,” Beganovic said.

“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.”

Beganovic is the second driver to be announced by Prema for its 2023 F3 season, with Paul Aron already confirmed.

Prema Team Principal Rene Rosin added: “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.”
