Woohyun Shin returns with Hitech for 2027 season

Hitech has confirmed that Woohyun Shin will race with the team in 2027. The South Korean driver competed with the British outfit in 2026 and will return for what will be his second full season in FIA Formula 3.

Prior to F3, Shin secured P3 in the Euroformula Open Championship in 2025, improving on the fifth place he earned in the series the year prior.

He also finished fourth in the 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Championship.

Speaking about his re-signing with Hitech, Shin said he was happy to be back with the team once again.

“There are particular aspects to the FIA Formula 3 championship that make it very competitive and challenging. I felt that there would be more to come from me by staying another year and further working on those areas in a familiar environment.

“I want to thank the team for believing in me and making it possible to continue our journey together.”

Hitech F3 Team Manager Paul Bellringer added: “We’re pleased to continue our relationship with Michael into the 2027 FIA Formula 3 season. This year has been an important learning process for him, returning to FIA F3 for a full campaign after his previous experience in the championship.

“Michael has had to learn a lot throughout the season, from the car and tyres to the level of competition and the demands of racing at this level. Having that experience behind him will be valuable heading into his second year.

“We know Michael well from his previous time with Hitech, and we believe there is a lot more to come from him. Continuity is important in Formula 3, and giving him another season with the team will allow us to build on the work we have already done together.

“We’re looking forward to seeing Michael take the next step in 2027 and continuing his development with Hitech.”
