The drivers Enzo Deligny and Yevan David will lead Van Amersfoort Racing’s (VAR) attack in FIA Formula 3 during the 2027 season. Both prospects will bring their experience and talent to compete in this demanding category.
Deligny, returning to the Dutch team for his second season, had initially planned to compete in the 2026 F3 with Prema. However, he decided to change plans and join VAR before the season began. In his debut, he achieved a podium in the sprint race in Melbourne, where he finished eighth in the main race the following day. Despite his good starts, the Franco-Chinese driver could not maintain the same performance and ended the season in 16th place in the championship, with only five points accumulated after returning from Australia.
After renewing with VAR, Deligny highlighted the “strong relationship” established with the team, which has helped him feel “immediately very comfortable.” The driver expresses his excitement for the upcoming season, stating that his team’s stability will be key to improving his results. He is determined to repeat the progress he showed in his second season in the Formula Regional.
On the other hand, Yevan David moves to FIA F3 from Euroformula Open, where he finished second last season with six victories. Despite a difficult start with the AIX team, where he only achieved the 19th best result in the first eight races, David showed significant improvement during the second half of the season, consistently finishing in or near the top 10. His best weekend was in Monza, where he finished fourth in both the sprint race and the main race.
David has commented that joining VAR for the 2027 season is a smart move. He has praised the leadership team for their clear vision and experience, stating that he wants to contribute to their competitive culture and test himself against the best drivers in the category. He is ready to work throughout the 2027 season, aiming to grow and give his best.
Brad Joyce, head of the VAR team, has welcomed the addition of both drivers with enthusiasm. He highlighted Deligny’s strong start in FIA F3 and the experience he gained during his first year. Regarding David, Joyce emphasized his potential demonstrated in his rookie season and expressed expectations to turn that experience into great results in the coming year.
