Reigning Brazilian Formula 4 champion Heitor Dall’Agnol will race with Palou Motorsport in the 2026 Eurocup-3 Championship. He becomes the team’s third confirmed signing, joining Rafaël Pérard and Bianca Bustamante as the Spanish outfit builds a competitive line-up for a new technical era.
The 16-year-old arrives with strong momentum after a standout rookie single-seater campaign in Brazil. Dall’Agnol transitioned from a successful karting career and immediately established himself as a title contender.
A champion’s path from karting to formula cars
Before moving into Formula 4, Dall’Agnol collected major karting honours in Brazil, including the Copa Brasil de Kart and two Campeonato Sul-Brasileiro de Kart titles. He also secured third place in the FIA Karting World Cup in the OK-N class, underlining his pedigree on the international stage.
He carried that form into Brazilian F4. From the opening round at Interlagos, he fought at the front of the field. He claimed a maiden victory at the season opener and followed it with a perfect run of podium finishes across all three races at the next event. Over the following six races, he added four more top-three results and maintained relentless consistency. Although he failed to win during the final two rounds, he sealed the championship with two races remaining.
Additionally, throughout the 2025 season, Dall’Agnol tested Eurocup-3 machinery with both MP Motorsport and Palou Motorsport. He even planned to race at Jerez with Palou Motorsport before he withdrew from the event. His commitment to the team now confirms his next competitive step, even as his broader 2026 plans continue to take shape.
PREMA partnership signals serious intent
Palou Motorsport will enter 2026 with added firepower after PREMA Racing confirmed a major technical partnership with the team. Founded in 2023 by four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou and his father Ramon, the squad has already scored podiums and a maiden victory in Eurocup-3.
PREMA will supply simulator access, advanced tools and hands-on engineering support as Eurocup-3 introduces the Toyota-powered Dallara 326 chassis. With the season opener scheduled for early May at Circuit Paul Ricard, Palou Motorsport and PREMA aim to convert ambition into results from the very start.
