Tuukka already had the opportunity to race with us at Spa in 2024, where he immediately impressed with a solid and promising performance. His ability to quickly adapt to the team and the car was particularly noteworthy.
This initial collaboration gave us a very encouraging glimpse of what we can achieve together in the future. We are excited to work with Tuukka again in 2025 and to support him in his development at the highest level of Formula 3. We’re eager to see what he will bring to the track.
Tuukka Taponen :
“I am really excited about the F3 contract with the ART GP team for the 2025 season. They already showed interest in me in the summer, giving me the opportunity to participate in last season’s FIA F3 Spa competition. The team immediately impressed me both on and off the track and it felt like coming home.
ART GP has a long and successful history and I want to be a part of it in the future. ART GP is a familiar team to us Finns. For example, Valtteri Bottas won the championship with ART GP team before moving up to the Formula 1 series”
Sébastien Philippe :
“We are very pleased to welcome Tuukka Taponen to the team for 2025. He’s a young driver with great potential, and his performance with us at Spa showed that he has what it takes to succeed. We’re excited to see how he will develop in the new era of Formula 3 and are confident that he will be a strong asset to the team.”
