🇧🇪 Ean Eyckmans

Ean Eyckmans is a professional driver in his first recorded season, with a Racer Rating of 4,470 placing him among professional competitors who regularly contest national championship front-runners and the sharper end of feeder series. In 2025, the Belgian driver split his campaign between Spanish F4 and Formula Regional European. He won twice and collected eleven podiums across twenty Spanish F4 starts for MP Motorsport, finishing third in the final standings; he then stepped up to six Formula Regional European rounds with RPM without scoring points. His average finishing position of eighth reflects consistent points-paying performances in a field that included the 2025 Spanish F4 champion Thomas Strauven, whom Eyckmans beat on four occasions despite finishing behind him in sixteen shared races.[1]

Eyckmans has shown early promise against established competition. He outpaced Reno Francot, a driver rated at 4,521, in 17 of their 22 shared races; he also beat Hudson Schwartz, an FIA Silver graded driver, in 17 of 20 encounters. More notably, he finished ahead of Freddie Slater once in a direct comparison; Slater is a champion of both the 2024 Italian F4 and 2025 Formula Regional European, placing him among the strongest drivers in continental junior racing. Single results against such opposition do not establish patterns, but they mark Eyckmans as a driver capable of mixing with the upper tier of his class.[2]

Having progressed from Spanish F4 to Formula Regional European and now graduated to Eurocup-3 with MP Motorsport, Eyckmans follows a conventional path through European junior single-seater racing. MP Motorsport's track record of 79 wins across 112 drivers in the index, and its history of fielding future stars such as Liam Lawson, suggests a team with both resources and credibility. What Eyckmans achieves in Eurocup-3 will determine whether his 2025 form in Spanish F4, where he captured second in points, was a platform or a peak.
