Thomas Strauven

Thomas Strauven (born 4 April 2008) is a Belgian racing driver competing in Eurocup-3 for Griffin Core by Campos.

Career Karting (2017–2023) Strauven began karting in 2017, competing until 2023. During his karting career, he most notably won the 2019 RMC International Trophy in the Micro Max class, along with the BNL Karting Series title in Junior Max the following year. Following that, Strauven finished runner-up in the 2021 IAME International Games in X30 Junior, 2022 LeCont Trophy and the 2023 WSK Super Master Series in OK before stepping up to single-seaters the same year.

Formula 4 (2023–2025) 2023 In late 2023, Strauven made his single-seaters debut with MP Motorsport in the Jerez round of the F4 Spanish Championship. He achieved a best finish of 13th in race three, retiring in the other two.

2024 The following year, Strauven embarked on his first full-time campaign in single-seaters in Formula Winter Series for Rodin Motorsport. After finishing outside of the points three of the four rounds, Strauven took his only win at Aragón in race two, a round in which he scored his only two other points finishes en route to a 12th-place points finish at season's end. Remaining with Rodin for the rest of the year, Strauven drove with them for his first full season in the F4 Spanish Championship. Starting off the season with a third-place finish and a win at Jarama, Strauven then scored a pair of third-place finishes in the second round at Algarve to enter Le Castellet third points. Four podiums later, Strauven scored his fifth and final podium of the season at Jerez by finishing third in race three to end the year seventh in points despite missing the season-finale at Barcelona.

2025 Strauven remained in the Iberian peninsula for 2025, joining Campos Racing to race in both the Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter and F4 Spanish Championships. In the three-round winter series, Strauven scored two wins at Algarve and four more podiums to clinch the title in the finale at Navarra. In the main season, Strauven opened up the season by winning at Aragón and scoring four podiums in the next five races, before winning five of the following six races across the Algarve and Le Castellet rounds to take the points lead. Following a seventh win of the season at Jerez, Strauven won the first two races of the following round at Valencia to secure the Spanish F4 title with a round to spare. Strauven then won race one of the season-ending round at Barcelona and finished in the top-five in the other two races to end the year 157 points ahead of Ean Eyckmans.

Formula Regional (2026) Strauven stepped up to Eurocup-3 competition in 2026, as he remained with Campos Racing for a second season with them.

Alongside his Eurocup-3 campaign, Strauven also competed in the second and third rounds of the Formula Regional European Championship with CL Motorsport.
