Mari Boya will make his debut in the FIA Formula 3 Championship next year, competing for MP Motorsport.
The Spaniard raced for the Dutch squad in the second half of the Formula Regional European Championship, scoring two 10th-place finishes.
Boya took part in the recent post-season F3 test from Jerez with MP Motorsport ahead of his full-time campaign next year.
“It’s a great feeling to know that this winter I will be gearing up for a vital next step in my career, moving up to FIA Formula 3 with MP Motorsport”, said Boya.
“It’s so good to be able to do that together with MP. Having worked so well with the team in 2020 and in recent months, I had no doubts in signing with them for my FIA F3 debut.
“I’m really looking forward to racing in front of all the Grand Prix teams, and can’t wait for the first round in Bahrain!”
Boya has raced for MP Motorsport before, competing in the 2020 Spanish Formula 4 Championship with it, finishing second in the standings.
“We are very pleased to welcome Mari to our FIA Formula 3 team”, said MP’s team principal Sander Dorsman.
“Although he will be new to FIA F3, he is very much a known quantity to us. In 2020, his first season in single-seaters with us in Spanish F4 was truly outstanding, and it was good to welcome him back into our FRECA team in the course of this season.
“He already showed much promise during the post-season tests. Now we are eager to use that as a platform to set him up for the strongest possible rookie year in FIA F3.”
