An important year in the career of the promising Dario Cabanelas is about to begin. Successively noticed for his exponential potential revealed in karting and then in F4 within the FFSA Academy, Dario entered Eurocup-3 during the latter part of 2023.

"My season was short, but it will remain an excellent experience," recalls Dario. "I took part in four races at famous circuits such as Jerez, Estoril, Valencia and Barcelona. I was able to get to know the single-seater, which is really very competitive. It's a Tatuus with a 270bhp Alfa Romeo engine and Hankook tyres. The chassis is identical to the one used in the Formula Regional European Championship, but the budget is more reasonable in Eurocup-3".

This series has now acquired its credentials and will have an even more international orientation. The calendar, which runs from April to November, includes such iconic circuits as Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, Red Bull Ring in Austria, Portimao in Portugal, Paul Ricard in France and Zandvoort in the Netherlands, as well as Motorland Aragon, Jerez and Barcelona in Spain.

Dario Cabanelas will be able to draw on the know-how and experience of MP Motorsport. Runner-up in the 2023 championship, the Dutch team will clearly be aiming for the title, as will the Swiss driver! To meet this challenge, Dario has concentrated on his physical preparation, thanks to intense work with his fitness coach. His excellent private testing in the off-season has confirmed his ambitions, pointing to a bright future for the young hopeful.

"I'm extremely motivated by the idea of fighting for the title of champion in 2024. I know the competition will be fierce, but I'm confident in my abilities. I'm also grateful to my fans and supporters. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my long-standing partners who will be with me again in 2024: Coris Innovation, Ma Fondue, Tome-Up, Holisquare and the Fondation d'aide aux sportifs vaudois. In addition, I am delighted to present my new partnership with the Harvest Group, founded by a great name in sport, judoka Almaz Alsenov."

About Dario Cabanelas

Dario Cabanelas made his debut in single-seater racing in 2021, as part of the French F4 Championship run by the FFSA Academy. Born on 21st July 2006, the young hopeful, who lives near Lausanne, quickly demonstrated his strong potential by finishing runner-up in the French Junior Championship and winning several races in his category. In his second year of F4 in 2022, he made it into the top 10 of the FIA rankings at just 16 years of age, finishing on the podium on several occasions.

A Swiss national, but also the grandson of a Spanish-Gallego emigrant, as well as having Ukrainian origins, Dario Cabanelas has always impressed with his strong determination. Fast and ambitious, he is fully committed to his goal of reaching the highest level of motor sport.

In 2023, Dario has decided to take things a step further by joining the highly competitive Eurocup-3 Championship midway through the season. Building on this experience, he has now signed up for the whole of 2024 in this prestigious competition with the MP Motorsport Team. Considered one of the top five Swiss drivers by his federation, the young driver has surrounded himself with a host of sporting and financial partners to continue his ascent.
