He eventually returned to racing in 2025 and began rebuilding momentum in his career. His performances with BVM Racing during the closing rounds of the Euroformula Open season demonstrated that he had successfully regained his competitive form. Famularo emphasised that perseverance and determination helped him overcome the challenges that interrupted his career. “I never gave up on my dream, even when people were saying it was impossible, and continued preparing myself with all determination. I’m happy to be back racing, thanks to the support of the sensational Furia Team [a sportsmen management company investing in Venezuelan talents]. The coming season is a challenge and a strategic step in our objective, to have Venezuela represented again at the highest level of motor racing.” The Venezuelan driver receives support from Furia Team, which invests in developing racing talent from the country.

With Famularo now returning for a full campaign, the Italian squad strengthens its line-up with a driver who already understands the team and the championship. By contesting the entire championship, he will have the opportunity to translate that experience into stronger results across the calendar. For BVM Racing, the continuation of this partnership adds continuity to the team’s programme and increases its chances of remaining a competitive force in the Euroformula Open paddock.](https://www.pitdebrief.com/wp-content/uploads/famu-2-600x400.jpg "Alessandro Famularo returns to BVM Racing for 2026 Euroformula Open")
