GriffinCore Campos Racing has confirmed the signing of Alex Powell for the 2026 Eurocup-3 season. The Miami-born driver will race one of the team’s Dallara 326-Toyota cars, strengthening the Alzira-based squad’s line-up ahead of an exciting new campaign.
As a result, Powell becomes the third driver announced by GriffinCore Campos Racing, joining Thomas Strauven and Patrick Heuzenroeder as preparations gather pace for the upcoming season.
A career shaped by speed and early success
Powell was born in Miami, Florida, and holds dual American and Jamaican nationality. With motorsport firmly embedded in his background through his father, former rally driver John Powell, he began racing competitively at just eight years old.
After delivering strong results in the United States, Powell relocated to Europe to develop his karting career in Italy. From that point onwards, he established himself as one of the standout talents of his generation. Notably, he claimed victories in major international events including the WSK Final Cup, South Garda Winter Cup, Trofeo Margutti and Champions of the Future. Furthermore, he finished runner-up in the 2022 CIK-FIA Karting European Championship before securing third place the following year.
Rapid progression through single-seaters
Powell transitioned into single-seater racing in 2023 with a debut in Formula 4. However, it was the 2024 Italian F4 Championship where he truly announced himself on the international stage.
During that season, Powell secured the Rookie Championship with an impressive ten victories while also finishing fifth overall in the standings. Consequently, his performances highlighted both race-winning ability and consistency against a highly competitive field.
In 2025, Powell continued his upward trajectory by finishing runner-up in the F4 Middle East Championship. Across the season, he claimed five wins and eight podium finishes, remaining firmly in title contention until the final round. In addition, his outings in Euro 4 yielded three podiums from just nine races, underlining his adaptability across different championships. He then joined the 2026 Formula Regional Middle East Trophy with Pinnacle Motorsport.
Powell steps to Eurocup-3 for 2026 with GriffinCore Campos
Powell will now step up to Eurocup-3 for the 2026 season, marking an important progression in his career. He will drive the new Dallara 326-Toyota, a key technical change that places emphasis on rapid learning and development during pre-season.
GriffinCore Campos Racing views Powell’s arrival as a strategic addition, combining youth, proven results and long-term potential. Therefore, both parties approach the season with clear ambitions and shared expectations.
Powell also shared his enthusiasm as he prepares for his first full Eurocup-3 campaign. Powell said: “I am very proud and excited to join GriffinCore Campos Racing for the upcoming season. They are an amazing team, and I have been incredibly welcomed since day one. I look forward to working with them and reaching new heights together.”
Accordingly, Powell enters the season with confidence and motivation as he targets further progression within the single-seater ladder.
Campos: “Exactly the right moment”
Team Principal Adrián Campos expressed strong confidence in the new signing and the timing of his promotion.
Campos said: “It is a real pleasure to have a driver of Alex’s talent in our ranks. He undoubtedly has enormous potential, and we will work closely together to ensure it can be fully realized throughout 2026 with the best possible results for everyone. His debut in Eurocup-3 comes at exactly the right moment in his sporting career, and I am convinced that the new season will bring us many great moments. We now have several weeks of intense work and effort ahead of us to arrive at the opening round with the best possible understanding of the new Dallara 326-Toyota, which will undoubtedly be one of the key factors this year.”
As GriffinCore Campos Racing finalises its preparations for 2026, Powell’s debut Eurocup-3 season represents a pivotal opportunity. With strong backing, technical support and momentum on his side, he shapes up as a driver to watch closely throughout the campaign.
