F4 ace Stevenson to race in Europe

British Formula 4 ace Casper Stevenson is to step up to Euro formula Open this season with Van Amersfoort Racing.

The 17-year-old, who was an F4 title contender in 2020 and finished third in the points, has become the first driver named for the Dutch squad’s EFO line-up, which uses HWA engines. Stevenson tested Formula Renault Eurocup machinery last December prior to that series’ merger with Formula Regional, and also raced in the Regional F3 Tatuus chassis in some Asian F3 rounds this year, before opting for the Dallara 320 EFO car.

“It’s exciting to be stepping up to the F3 level, especially with a team as successful as

Van Amersfoort Racing,” said Stevenson. “As many of the tracks are new to me, I have a lot to learn. I’m adapting well though and I feel very confident.”

Elsewhere on the EFO grid, Malaysian Nazim Azman has joined fellow British F3 graduate Louis Foster with the Moto park-affiliated Crypto tower Racing team. Red Bull Junior Jak Crawford has added an EFO programme to his FIA Formula 3 campaign with the Moto park team proper, in the same way as Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson did in 2019.
