Current season

Eurocup-3 is a formula racing series regulated according to Formula Regional regulations. The series is founded for levelling up the competition for all drivers, with each team committing on a maximum budget of €400,000 every season.[1]

History

The championship was inaugurated in 2023, and was formed as an alternative to the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional European Championship and the Euroformula Open Championship, especially after the latter series struggled to attract entries in late 2022.[2][3]

Cars

See also: Tatuus F3 T-318

Teams use the identical Tatuus F3 T-318 chassis from the Formula Regional European Championship, but these chassis are provided with a new intercooler, updated body kit, and battery kit.[4] This updated car is called as the Tatuus F3 T-318-EC3, and it weighs 25 kg (55 lb) less than the Tatuus F3 T-318.[5] The car is fitted with a 270 hp (200 kW) Alfa Romeo-Autotecnica engine and Hankook tires. There is also a push-to-pass system used in these cars which provides an additional 25 hp (19 kW).[3]

Starting from 2026, Eurocup-3 will use a new spec chassis: Dallara 326. It has the same structural design as Dallara 324 (which is currently used in Euroformula Open Championship and Super Formula Lights) and will be equipped with a 275 hp (205 kW) Toyota engine.[6]
