Charouz Racing System heads to Jerez de la Frontera for three days of FIA Formula 3 post-season testing

The 2022 FIA Formula 3 season has come to an end at Monza and it’s already time for Charouz Racing System to start working on its 2023 campaign. On 21-23 September the Czech team will be at Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, for three days of post-season testing. The team is glad to announce that Alessandro Famularo, Matias Zagazeta, Emerson Fittipaldi jr and Nicola Marinangeli will be the drivers at the wheel of the three Dallara cars.

The Andalusian track will host once again the test session of the series, after having done so in 2020 and for the pre-season tests this last April. Thanks to data gathered in the past tests, the team will therefore have the chance to start working with these young talents right away.

Famularo is the only one of the four drivers that already raced with this car, having competed with Charouz Racing System in the last round of the 2022 season at Monza. Is not new in the team also Nicola Marinangeli, who tested with the Czech squad in Valencia last year. For Fittipaldi jr and Zagazeta this will be a debut, as they all come from feeder series like Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine and Italian Formula 4 Championship 2022.
