GRS Team has confirmed Rayan Caretti as the final addition to its line-up for the 2026 Eurocup-3 season, completing a competitive driver pairing ahead of the new campaign. The French driver will make his debut in the category following two impressive years in Formula 4.
A promising talent on the rise
At just 18 years old, Caretti has already established himself as one of the most exciting young prospects in single-seater racing. After making his debut in 2024, he quickly adapted to the French Formula 4 Championship, securing two podium finishes in his rookie season.
He then built on that foundation in 2025, delivering a standout campaign that included two victories and five podiums, ultimately finishing fourth in the standings. Furthermore, his appearance at the FIA Formula 4 World Cup during the Macau Grand Prix saw him compete strongly against an international field, reinforcing his growing reputation.
Caretti to take on a new challenge in Eurocup-3 with GRS Team in 2026
Now, Caretti takes the next step in his career by moving into EuroCup-3, a championship that enters a new era in 2026 with the introduction of the Dallara 326. The series continues to serve as a key platform for emerging talent, and with a highly competitive grid expected, the challenge will be significant.
The season is set to begin on 1–3 May at Circuit Paul Ricard, providing Caretti with an early opportunity to showcase his potential on home soil.
With Caretti’s arrival, GRS Team finalises its 2026 roster, pairing him alongside Andre Rodriguez. The team will aim to provide a strong environment for development while targeting competitive results throughout the season.
Caretti excited and “super grateful” to join GRS Team for 2026 Eurocup-3 campaign
Caretti expressed his excitement about the opportunity and his ambitions for the future:
“I am very excited to be joining GRS team for the upcoming Eurocup-3 season. This is a great opportunity for me to continue my single seater development and take me one step closer to my dream of becoming a Formula 1 pilot soon! I cannot wait to exploiting the full potential of the car, with the support of a strong team to achieve great results.
I am super grateful to Josep and the GRS team for this opportunity but I also wish to thank my sponsors, as it is thanks to them if I can compete at this level this season again. And I wish to express my gratitude to my mum and dad for their unyielding support in making my dream a reality. Now to all of you following and supporting my racing for many years I cannot wait to meet again around the iconic tracks of the EuroCup 3 calendar and to share my new motor racing stories online with you!”
Team CEO and Manager Josep Trinidad welcomed the young driver, highlighting his potential:
“At GRS Team, we are delighted to welcome Rayan to the team. Having a driver with his talent and potential is a great source of motivation for everyone, and the team will give its all to ensure that Rayan can develop his promising career in the best possible environment and conditions. We are looking forward to starting to work with him and hope to have a great year together”.
A season full of opportunity for Caretti
In summary, Caretti’s move to Eurocup-3 marks an important milestone in his development. With strong backing from GRS Team and momentum from his Formula 4 success, he enters the 2026 season with both confidence and high expectations.
As the championship prepares to begin, all eyes will be on the young French driver to see how he adapts to this new and demanding stage of his career.
