Formula 2 News: DAMS signs Dino Beganovic for 2024

DAMS Lucas Oil announced today that Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy member Dino Beganovic will compete for the team for the rest of the 2024 FIA Formula 2 campaign.

The 20-year-old will make his first appearance in F2 with the Le Mans-based outfit, having competed in Formula 3 for the last two seasons, securing two wins and six further podiums, taking sixth in the standings on both occasions.

Previously, the Swede has competed in the Formula Regional European Championship, where he took an impressive four victories and nine more top three finishes on his way to the 2022 title.

Beganovic will make his Formula 2 debut in the series’ maiden visit to the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar later this month, before tackling the season finale at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi in December.

DAMS Lucas Oil would like to thank Juan Manuel Correa for his time with the team and wishes him all the best in his future career.

Dino Beganovic: “I can’t wait to make my Formula 2 debut with DAMS Lucas Oil, who has so much history as well as a tremendous drive to achieve great results. This feels like the natural next step in my career, and I’m ready for the challenge in an extremely competitive championship. My aim for these two races is to learn as much as possible and to be scoring points in my first F2 action in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.”

Charles Pic, Team Owner: “We’re excited to take on a talent like Dino for the remainder of the season. It’s a step up from Formula 3 and a very competitive championship, but we’re confident that with the help of the team Dino can be competitive in these final two rounds. He has an excellent racing CV, and we believe he has what it takes to fight for strong points. I would also like thank JM for his efforts this season, it was a pleasure to work with him and we wish him all the best for the future.”
