Evans GP Academy

🇸🇬 Singapore’s Kareen Kaur has been selected for the 2026 F1 Academy Rookie Test in Spain.

Kaur is among 18 international drivers invited to the programme, which includes a training camp at Loughborough University before the on-track test at Navarra on 9–11 September.

The opportunity is another important step in her development after undertaking a Formula 4 testing programme with Evans GP at Sepang and competing in selected touring-car events with Evans GP Academy.

Selection for the test does not guarantee an F1 Academy race seat, but it gives Kaur an important opportunity to demonstrate her potential in front of the championship’s teams and decision-makers.

Flashback Friday 🔙

Looking back to the final round of last year’s MSF 86xBRZ Cup, where Evans GP secured a fantastic one-two finish at Sepang International Circuit.

Seth Gilmore took the victory, with Alistair Yoong completing the result in second place.

Around 12 months later, Seth and fellow Evans GP driver Alex Sawer are back at Sepang competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Championship this weekend.

Best of luck to them both!

A fantastic weekend to wrap up Kareen Kaur’s first-ever touring car race meeting at Sepang International Circuit in the Asia Classic Car Challenge.

Kareen started the weekend in style by qualifying on pole position in class, ahead of higher-class cars, before going on to secure a class victory during the weekend.

More importantly, the event provided valuable racecraft and wheel-to-wheel experience as she continues her development ahead of her return to open-wheel racing later this year.

A great performance with plenty of positives to take away, including a pole position, a win and a wealth of valuable experience. We’re already looking forward to the next event.

After four productive days of testing and strong progress behind the wheel, Kareen is set to take on the next challenge and continue building momentum.

We’re excited to have her representing Evans GP Academy this weekend.

Let’s go, Kareen! 💪🏁

Fun weekend with MSF at Sepang.

This weekend we entered our Mazda MX-5 as an invitational car in the 86XBRZ Cup with Evans GP Academy driver Rafael Vaessen from Singapore.

The weekend included a 5-lap sprint race on Saturday night followed by the 40-minute feature race on Sunday. It was Rafael’s first event involving pit stops and longer format racing, making it a great learning experience.

Despite racing against much more powerful Toyota 86s and Subaru BRZs (140hp v 200hp+), Rafael had some great battles and finished the weekend with P3.

A great driver development weekend and valuable experience gained.

Also great to have Andrea Tordisco with us as driver coach.

The provisional 2026 86xBRZ Cup calendar has been announced by the series organisers, confirming a five-round season at Sepang International Circuit, including the Merdeka 111-lap race and a SuperTurismo night finale in December.

Evans GP Academy plans to contest the 2026 86xBRZ Cup with a three-car entry, building on a strong end to the 2025 season with victories in the Merdeka endurance race and the final round with Seth Gilmore.

Full calendar details and event information are available now on the Evans GP website.

A fantastic result for Alister Yoong at Sepang over the weekend, finishing second on his debut with the team and the new Asian Motorsport backed Subaru BRZ. After qualifying third, Alister drove superbly to bring the car home in P2, helping Evans GP Academy secure a 1-2 finish in the final event of the year.

A strong debut, great teamwork and an excellent way to close out the 2025 MSF 86xBRZ Cup season.

A 1-2 finish for Evans GP Academy in the final round of the MSF 86xBRZ Cup at Sepang marks a dominant conclusion to the 2025 season!

Australian driver Seth Gilmore took victory ahead of teammate Alister Yoong after a flawless performance from both drivers and the crew. Alex Sawer and Sem Hieu van der Sloot finished P6 in what was Sem’s first race in cars.

We’d like to thank our entire team, our drivers’ families, and our partners for their support throughout an exceptional year for Evans GP Academy. Our results speak for themselves. Merdeka 111 🏆 + Round 5 🏆

It’s been a privilege working with Seth over the past 12 months. He’s grown immensely as a driver and as a young man, achieving outstanding results in both FIA F4 SEA and our Toyota 86 BRZ programme. His performances over the past two months have been exceptional, a real turning point where everything came together. This win is a fitting way to conclude his time with the team and a reflection of the progress he’s made both on and off the track.

Now as a team we are already looking ahead to our next events, the Macau Grand Prix and Formula Trophy UAE, as we round off an outstanding year for the Evans GP.
