The motorsport world is buzzing with excitement as one of the brightest talents in racing, Yevan David, has officially signed with Motopark for the highly anticipated 2025 Euroformula Open Championship.
David, Sri Lanka’s racing sensation, tipped to be one of the most exciting young racing prospects from Asia, will take the next step in his journey to Formula 1 with confirmation that he will compete in the 2025 Euroformula Open season with the highly successful Motopark team.
The 17-year-old Sri Lankan driver has built an impressive racing résumé, progressing from a decorated karting career into single-seaters with immediate results. Having showcased his talent in Formula 4-level competition, David now graduates to Euroformula Open, where he will compete on some of the most iconic circuits in Europe.
“I am thrilled to be joining Motopark for the 2025 season,” said David. “Euroformula Open is a fantastic championship that has helped develop many top drivers, and I’m confident that working with such a strong team will allow me to showcase my potential.
“I am proud to represent Sri Lanka on the international stage and hope to inspire more young racers from my country to pursue motorsport,” he added.
Motopark, renowned for nurturing top-tier talent and securing numerous championship titles, has a strong track record of producing drivers who advance to the highest levels of single-seater racing.
Motorpark Team Principal Timo Rumpfkeil expressed his confidence in David’s potential, noting: “Yevan has shown great promise in his career so far and we believe he has the ability to be highly competitive in Euroformula Open. His work ethic, determination, and raw speed make him an exciting addition to our team.”
David’s transition into Euroformula Open is also a milestone for Sri Lankan motorsport. As one of the few drivers from the region competing on the global stage, his progress is a source of inspiration for young racers from South Asia looking to break into international competition. Brands Merc-Stop, Alcom, and Dayholi, as well as the Ceylon Motor Sports Club (CMSC) are supporting David on his journey.
Euroformula Open’s 2025 season will see David compete against some of the brightest rising stars in motorsport, with races held at legendary circuits such as Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, and Barcelona. The season begins at Portugal’s Portimao race circuit on 27 April.
At just 17 years of age, David made history as the first Sri Lankan to score points in both Formula 4 and Eurocup-3, achieved pole position at the International Automobile federation (FIA) Motorsport Games, and became the first multiple Formula 3-level race winner from Sri Lanka.
He is a two-time X30 Asian Series champion and impressed in the International Karting Commission (CIK-FIA) Karting Championships before making his single-seater debut in the Formula 4 UAE Series.
Having supported many drivers on their racing journeys, renowned racing team Motopark has become the stepping stone for several successful racing careers, including current Formula 1 drivers Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda.
