Tymek Kucharczyk (BVM Racing, top) won the Drivers' Championship. Yevan David (Team Motopark, bottom) won the Rookie Championship.

The 2025 Euroformula Open Championship was a multi-event open-wheel single-seater motor racing championship held across Europe. It was the twelfth season using the Euroformula Open name. The season was held over eight rounds with three races each. ^[1] It began on April 26 at Algarve International Circuit, and concluded on 19 October at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza.

The season was the first using the Dallara 324 chassis, as well as a spec Toyota engine. ^[2] This change, aimed at reducing costs, aligned the championship's technical specification with that of the Super Formula Lights. ^[3]

BVM Racing's Tymek Kucharczyk won the Drivers' Championship at the penultimate race of the season, while runner-up Yevan David took the Rookie Championship as his team, Team Motopark, defended their Teams' Championship title for the seventh year in a row.

Season report

First half

The 2025 Euroformula Open championship began at the Algarve International Circuit with BVM Racing's Tymek Kucharczyk leading a twelve-car field in qualifying. He was among four drivers stalling at the start of race one, allowing Team Motopark's Yevan David to lead briefly before contact with his teammate Michael Shin dropped him behind. Shin then headed Nielsen Racing's Edward Pearson until he spun on lap 16, handing Pearson victory on Nielsen Racing’s single-seater debut ahead of Shin and David. Motopark's Fernando Barrichello started race two from reversed-grid pole position, but had a bad start, allowing his teammate José Garfias into the lead. The Mexican then went off on lap seven, handing the lead to David, who won ahead of Shin and Pearson. The final race saw Shin lead initially before David moved ahead on lap three; a safety car period and subsequent red flag on lap 13 meant the Sri Lankan driver was declared winner over Shin, with Kucharczyk third. David left Portugal leading the standings on 65 points, ten ahead of Shin. ^[23]

David claimed pole at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, 0.488 seconds ahead of Garfias, while Shin and Motopark's Diego de la Torre filled the second row. In the opening race, Garfias and Shin both passed David on the first lap before colliding at Les Combes, allowing the Sri Lankan to retake the lead. A safety car appeared after Barrichello crashed, and following the restart, Kucharczyk briefly led before running wide and losing out to David again. Two further incidents brought another neutralisation, and after a late restart the pair exchanged positions multiple times before David prevailed by 0.07 seconds, with de la Torre third. ^[24] In race two, Kucharczyk rose from fifth to take victory after a safety-car period, as Shin spun David out of contention and Pearson finished second ahead of Barrichello. The Polish driver then won again in race three, taking the lead on lap one and holding off a late charge from David, who came home in second ahead of Garfias. His double win lifted Kucharczyk to second place in the standings, 20 points behind David. ^[25]

Round three at the Hockenheimring saw Kucharczyk take pole position, narrowly ahead of De la Torre and David, while Shin qualified fourth. De la Torre’s car failed before the start of race one, but Kucharczyk still fell behind David and Shin into turn one before contact with David caused a puncture and front-wing damage for both. Shin was therefore able to pull clear as Stack, Garfias and Pearson disputed second. Stack prevailed, giving Motopark a one-two finish ahead of Pearson. ^[26] Wet conditions greeted the reversed-grid race two, where Garfias moved past Nielsen Racing's early leader Shawn Rashid and held off Shin and David to take his maiden EFO win. David had climbed from tenth to third after several close fights, finishing 1.3 seconds behind Shin at the flag. In the final race, David and Shin again rose quickly through the order before rain brought further incidents. David passed Stack for the lead and stayed ahead after a safety-car restart to win from Shin and Garfias. Shin moved back into second place in the standings, 18 points behind David. ^[27]
