BIANCA BUSTAMANTE Steps Up to Eurocup-3 with Palou-Prema Partnership

January 9, 2026

• BIANCA BUSTAMANTE takes another smart step up the single-seater ladder, securing a 2026 Eurocup-3 seat with Palou Motorsport backed by Prema Racing’s technical expertise. The Filipina racer will tackle both the Winter Series and full championship using the new Toyota-powered Dallara 326 chassis, building on her GB3 experience while benefiting from familiar Prema engineering support that helped her claim two F1 Academy victories in 2023.
• This move shows the strategic thinking we love to see – BUSTAMANTE isn’t rushing her progression but methodically building experience against strong mixed-gender competition on legendary European circuits like Spa, Monza, and Barcelona. The Palou Motorsport connection brings Alex Palou’s championship pedigree to the table while maintaining continuity with Prema’s proven development approach.
• BUSTAMANTE’s timeline perfectly positions her for FIA Formula 3 aspirations, with the Eurocup-3 campaign beginning February 20-22 at Portimão and continuing through the Winter Series before the main championship launches at Paul Ricard in May. Her confidence about maximizing every opportunity and growing as a driver signals someone who understands exactly what this step means for her motorsports future.
