One month after the end of the 2023 season, Trident Motorsport is returning to the track for three challenging test sessions and a total of six days. The F3 cars will be running at the Iberian track of Jerez de la Frontera from Wednesday, October 4th to Friday, October 6th. Then they will move to Montmelò on Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th October. They will eventually wrap up the final test from October 24th to 25th at Imola.

After winning the Driver Championship with Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto and securing second place among the Teams at Monza, the Milanese team, operating out of its Ossona factory, is now busy with the preparation work for the 2024 championship

The line-up will include Italian Leonardo Fornaroli, Frenchman Sami Meguetounif, and Mexican Santiago Ramos. The Piacenza-based racer has just concluded his first FIA Formula 3 Championship season, where he achieved three podiums and a pole position. He was 11th in the Drivers' standings. 19-year-old Frenchman Sami Meguetounif is currently eighth in the FRECA championship, with three podiums and two fastest laps to his credit. Last but not least, 19-year-old Mexican Santiago Ramos is ninth i the FRECA championship and, with two events remaining, has achieved one podium and one fastest lap. The test sessions will allow new drivers Meguetounif and Ramos to gain chemistry with the team's working methods.

Giacomo Ricci, Team Manager, Trident Motorsport: “We have just won the category title with Gabriel Bortoleto, but we know very well that now we have to start from scratch again. The preparation work for next year begins with three test sessions which will be key for the upcoming season. We will be on track with an experienced driver, Leonardo Fornaroli, and he will be joined by two good prospects, Ramos and Meguetounif, who will be making their series debut. We will have to provide them with our best support so that they can quickly gel with the new environment."
