More information from FIA WMSC about the new Formula 3 in 2019:

a. Formula One Group is appointed as the promoter
b. A grid for not more than 30 cars
c. 9 or 10 events with 2 rounds in each event
d. Single make engine, chassis and tyres

America and Asia are certified by FIA for F3 regional series in 2018

The chassis and safety regulations for both the FIA F3 and FIA-certified regional F3 championships will be largely the same.

FIA just killed F3. GP3-boring-concept won the game. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may.

S griffin · 14 Mar 2018, 11:09 (Ref:3807912)

I agree, F3 was one of the few junior formulas that taught how important setup is

**bella** · 14 Mar 2018, 11:24 (Ref:3807915)

everything teaches how important setup is

what f3 (and fford before it) did was involve drivers in cars with a far greater number of variables at an early stage, and teach engineers how to handle said variables and experiment to find gains.

by making single make series easy to set up as a way of levelling out competition they’re killing off real engineering training and reducing driver education to a very basic level. so you get engineers who don’t know how to tinker but can use ms excel, and drivers who don’t know how to feel and understand different changes in a car beyond the very limited stuff you can change outside of even current f3.

everyone loses. but it’s a bit like the old airport security “theatre”, you have to be seen to be doing something to reduce costs, even if it doesn’t work and you know it won’t.

Which engine manufacturer do you think can get the new F3 contract? As VW is retreating, will it be mercedes? Renault? Mecachrome?

NaBUru38 · 3 Apr 2018, 18:40 (Ref:3812669)

I'd say Oreca or GIbson will provide engines, and Renault will put the logos.

peebee2 · 3 Apr 2018, 22:18 (Ref:3812691)

Why do you think Bruno would use anyone other the Meccachrime?

Juntos · 4 Apr 2018, 01:26 (Ref:3812714)

No doubts that the French will stick with the French!

S griffin · 4 Apr 2018, 10:46 (Ref:3812773)

There is rumours that the current European F3 might continue running alongside the new F3/GP3 merger

So at the end, what is the point to merge both series if everything will stay as it is in 2019?

Maybe reviving the F3 Euro Series, without FIA's sanction?

that are more than rumours. There are real talks about that ongoing.

Yes that is fine, but if this "old New" F3 serie does not provide Points for the Super Licence eligibility i cannot see this project being a success...

Spanish F3 is still well and alive with a complicated name.

EF Open pays Superlicence points. For now at least.

LavidaLoca · 5 Apr 2018, 06:18 (Ref:3812934)

Or maybe this "Old New" F3 Euroseries will turn into a Regional F3 Championship with the blessing of the FIA , maybe Northern Europe F3 Championship

S griffin · 5 Apr 2018, 08:34 (Ref:3812945)

I can certainly seeing it being a regional championship. Just remember when the original Euroseries was commissioned in 03, it was a merger of the French and German series

It doesn't need it. You should get Super Licence points in F2, not driving 200hp.

Juntos · 5 Apr 2018, 15:31 (Ref:3812997)

FIA will give the Regional status to Berger just to shut him up. Who follows the elephant will have no problems.

eden · 5 Apr 2018, 16:08 (Ref:3813005)

Berger is messing up the DTM after destroying F3....drivers should stick to driving.

This is what I have always felt it would turn into.

Mekola · 9 Apr 2018, 01:18 (Ref:3814240)

An International F3 needs a round or two in South America... One at Brazil and other in Piriápolis / Punta del Este / Buenos Aires married with STC2000 and Brazilian Stock Cars.

I think there is a better chance of a Regional F3 Championship instead.

Juntos · 15 Jun 2018, 23:38 (Ref:3829794)

How about the new European F3 regional series with Tatuus chassis?
