Quick Polish teenager Borys Łyżeń has elected to stay with MP Motorsport for his step up to Eurocup-3 in 2027. His swift promotion to the next rung on the single-seater ladder comes on the back of a stellar first season in Formula 4.
In an F4 Spanish Championship that remained exciting to the end, Łyżeń proved to be one of the standout drivers of the 2026 season, racking up three wins, six podiums and a pole position to end up fourth in the final standings in his debut year in motorsport, with no less than six fastest laps underlining the young Pole’s natural speed. Even before the regular F4 Spanish season started, Łyżeń had demonstrated his abilities in the E4 Spanish Winter Championship by claiming his first Formula 4 win and an additional podium finish on his way to eighth in the standings. The 15-year-old has now committed to staying with MP Motorsport for his quick progression to the next level in the Dutch team’s ambitions of accelerating talent. Łyżeń is the first driver to be announced in MP’s four-car line-up for the 2027 Eurocup-3 season.
“I’m extremely pleased to continue with MP Motorsport for my graduation to Eurocup-3”, said Łyżeń. “This has been a wonderful year for us, in which the team really helped me to get to grips with Formula 4 really quickly and be competitive in just a few races. From there, it’s been a rollercoaster of a season, always running at the front, fighting to overcome setbacks and bagging my first victories in single-seater racing. I aim to continue our winning streak right into Eurocup-3 next year which, looking at the team’s strong form this season, is a goal that is fully achievable. Let’s go for it!”
“We are very happy that Borys will continue to be part of the MP Motorsport family”, said Sander Dorsman, MP Motorsport’s team principal. “It makes absolute sense for both parties, as we really connected during his sensational campaign in F4 Spanish this year. Borys adapted to single-seaters at an amazing rate before truly surprising us with his outright pace and sheer tenacity, so he fully deserves his inclusion in our Eurocup-3 line-up for 2027.”
At the start of this year, Łyżeń joined MP following a run of successful tests in which the young driver clicked with the Dutch team, having completed a final karting season in the OK
category in which he grabbed a sixth and a fifth in the Campillos and Franciacorta rounds of the FIA European Championship and the WSK Super Masters series respectively, and ultimately finished 19th in the FIA World Championship. He was also among the frontrunners in the Champions of the Future series. Ahead of his final season in karts, Łyżeń ran a pair of strong seasons in the OK Junior category, racking up top-ten finishes in the WSK Euro Series and the Champions of the Future series in 2024. In the Minis in 2022, he was among the top drivers in the Italian Championship, while he ended 2021 with a bang by taking second in the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals for Mini Max karts in Bahrain.
