Beganovic

Car No.8

Dino joins Hitech for his first full season contesting the Formula 2 Championship. The Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy member makes the step up to F2 after completing two campaigns in F3. Dino is regarded as one of the most exciting up-and-coming talents on the road to F1, confidence he rewarded on his competitive F2 debut in the final two rounds of the 2024 season. Prior to F3, he began his car racing career in 2020, undertaking a dual F4 campaign in the Italian and ADAC series. In 2021 he embarked on the first of two seasons in the Formula Regional European and Formula 3 Asian Championships. It was a solid first campaign, but when he returned to FRECA the following year, he took a hugely impressive four race victories and 13 podiums to claim the 2022 title.
