First half
The first round of the 2026 Euroformula Open Championship was held at the Algarve International Circuit. Enzo Yeh claimed pole position for Team Motopark, before four cars stalled off the line at the start of the first race. Yeh and his two teammates Diego de la Torre and Everett Stack were not among those and assumed the top three positions. The leader remained untroubled for the remainder of the race to seal victory as Stack passed De la Torre for second place. Race two saw BVM's Divy Nandan start first, with teammate Alessandro Famularo slotting into second. Nandan ran wide and fell to fifth on the penultimate lap, handing the lead and the win to Famularo. Yeh finished third, before a penalty dropped him to fifth and Stack inherited the podium. Race three began with a slow start for both front-row starters, allowing Stack into the lead. A collision with his teammate Jesse Carrasquedo Jr. then put both out of contention, allowing Yeh to claim a second victory ahead of De la Torre and Famularo to end the weekend leading the standings.[22]
Round two at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps saw Yeh take pole position in qualifying once again. He led Carrasquedo Jr. throughout the opening part of the first race, before a lock-up for the latter saw De la Torre take second. Carrasquedo Jr. and Stack then collided fighting over third, allowing BVM's Javier Herrera through on the final lap. Race two saw Motopark's Lorenzo Castillo jump the start as Yeh rose from sixth on the grid to the lead on lap two. Stack initially held second, before being handed a drive-through penalty. That handed second to Herrera, with Carrasquedo Jr. taking third. Race three began under safety car after rain. Despite a closed pitlane, Yeh and Famularo took on slick tires right away. The rest of the field changed tires when the safety car was withdrawn, handing a big lead to Yeh and Famularo. The pair received drive-through penalties, which dropped Famularo to fourth behind Stack and Drivex's Gino Trappa, but made no difference for Yeh, who took his fourth win in a row to grow his championship lead over De la Torre to 49 points.[23]
Next came the series' debut at Misano World Circuit, where Herrera secured pole position in qualifying. He gapped points leader Yeh throughout the opening race as Famularo pressured Stack for third. The Venezuelan got past him on lap nine after multiple attempts and secured the final podium spot as championship chaser De la Torre finished outside the points. The second race saw Motopark's Wiktor Dobrzański start in first, with Carrasquedo Jr. alongside him as Yeh and Herrera slotted in behind. Herrera pressured Yeh until he was able to pass him on lap ten, before Carrasquedo Jr. was able to do the same to the leader on lap 16 to claim victory. A post-race penalty for Herrera handed third back to Yeh, who was then unable to partake in the formation lap for race three and dropped to the back. Carrasquedo Jr. won that race from pole position as Stack and De la Torre secured podium positions. Yeh recovered to sixth by lap four before he fought Herrera and ultimately remained sixth, still increasing his lead over De la Torre to now 65 points.[24]
