BIANCA BUSTAMANTE Scores Top-20 Finish in Eurocup-3 Season Opener

May 4, 2026

• BIANCA BUSTAMANTE secured 18th in Saturday’s sprint race at Paul Ricard after recovering from a stalled start in race one that dropped her to 30th before contact forced retirement.
• The Palou Motorsport driver demonstrated strong defensive skills and consistent pace improvement throughout the weekend, setting personal bests while battling former IndyCar driver Linus Lundqvist and multiple midfield competitors.
• BUSTAMANTE’s Eurocup-3 debut follows a promising GB3 season with seven top-15 finishes and two F1 Academy race wins, establishing her credentials as she climbs the single-seater ladder with winter testing experience.
• Qualifying 25th and 27th across two sessions, BUSTAMANTE’s circuit knowledge from previous W Series and F1 Academy appearances at Paul Ricard proved valuable for adapting to the Dallara 326 machinery.
