Terpereau’s Essay outing the prelude to a full season in 2025

A front-runner on the national stage for many years – twice French champion, in Division 4 in 2013 and Super1600 (RX3) in 2021, and sitting third in the current Super1600 category standings – Terpereau has also contested a number of Euro RX events since making his international debut on home soil in 2013.

The Sarthe native entered five of the six European Championship rounds in 2017 followed by a full season in 2018, when he finished second in the Catalunya curtain-raiser and wound up eighth overall and best-placed French driver in the title table.

Terpereau’s last appearance in the championship dates back to 2019, when he advanced to the final at Lohéac, but the 37-year-old is now ready to rejoin the fray behind the wheel of a Peugeot 208 previously raced by Euro RX regular Ulrik Linnemann.

“I can’t wait to measure myself against the best drivers in Europe at a circuit that I know like the back of my hand and where I’ve won several times in the French Championship,” he enthused.

“It will be a challenge for both myself and my team, as well as a fantastic opportunity to gauge the current level in the European Championship before tackling a full season in Euro RX3 in 2025, which is my longer-term plan.

“I’m super-excited to be taking part in the European Championship again – especially in France. I’m hoping to show that with my new car, I can compete at the front on the European scene as well as in the domestic series, and my goal as always is to win!”
