GriffinCore Campos Racing targets more podium finishes at Monza
As Europe continues to endure the height of the summer heat, Eurocup-3 heads to its fourth round of the 2026 campaign at the iconic Autodromo Nazionale Monza. GriffinCore Campos Racing will field its four Dallara 326-Toyota cars for Alex Powell, Patrick Heuzenroeder, Thomas Strauven and Enzo Tarnvanichkul, all of whom have the potential to challenge for podium finishes.
Following the opening three rounds at Le Castellet, Portimão and Imola, Powell sits sixth in the standings on 49 points. The American claimed his best Eurocup-3 result to date at the previous Italian round, producing a superb recovery drive to finish second. Powell had already secured another podium earlier in the season by finishing third in the opening race at Circuit Paul Ricard.
Heuzenroeder was one of the standout performers at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, where the Australian claimed his maiden Eurocup-3 victory in the second race of the weekend. Having also finished fourth in the other Imola race, Heuzenroeder will be looking to repeat that form at the fastest circuit on the calendar.
Strauven has scored points on five occasions so far, including each of the last three races, as he continues to gain experience behind the wheel of the Dallara 326. The 2025 F4 Spain champion will be aiming to take another significant step forward this weekend and challenge for a podium finish.
Tarnvanichkul has already experienced the podium this season after finishing second in one of the races at the opening round. The Red Bull Junior Team driver will be hoping for better fortune than at Imola, where his weekend was compromised after being hit heavily at the start when his car stalled on the grid.
In the Teams' standings, GriffinCore Campos Racing currently occupies third place with 108 points. Monza is one of the most historic circuits in world motorsport. Since opening its gates on 3 September 1922, the venue has undergone several modifications to adapt to the evolution of racing. The current layout, introduced in 2000, measures 5.793 kilometres and features just eleven corners—but what corners they are. From the First Chicane, successor to the original Rettifilo, to the two Lesmo corners and the Ascari chicane, every section is legendary. Above all, however, the iconic Parabolica remains Monza's defining corner.
Track action gets underway on Friday with two free practice sessions. Qualifying 1 is scheduled for Saturday at 09:00, before the opening 30-minute-plus-one-lap race starts at 12:35. Sunday's programme features Qualifying 2 at 09:00, followed by the second and final race at 13:10 over the same distance. All times are CET. Both races will be streamed live on Eurocup-3's official YouTube channel.
Adrián Campos (Team Principal of Campos Racing): "Monza is always a very special challenge. It is a circuit where speed, overall efficiency and attention to detail make a huge difference. We arrive with plenty of confidence after our strong performance at Imola, where we showed we have the pace to fight for victories and podium finishes with several of our drivers. Our objective is to maintain that momentum before the summer break and continue scoring valuable points in both the Drivers' and Teams' Championships."
