Yevan David becomes first Sri Lankan to race in FIA Formula 3

Eighteen-year-old Yevan David has made history by becoming the first Sri Lankan driver to compete in the FIA Formula 3 Championship.

David has signed with AIX Racing for the 2026 season, a landmark achievement in Sri Lanka’s motorsport history. The young driver is currently in contention for the Euroformula title, having secured four victories, five other podium finishes and a pole position this season while racing for the dominant Motopark team. He made an impressive debut in the final round of 2024, claiming two wins and a third-place finish.

Before stepping into Euroformula, David competed in the Eurocup-3, Spanish F4 and UAE F4 Championships in 2024 — his first full season in single-seater racing after progressing from karting.

“I’m proud to be the first driver from Sri Lanka to compete in FIA Formula 3 and grateful for this opportunity,” David said following his signing with AIX Racing.
