The 2023 Eurocup-3 season will be the inaugural season of the planned Eurocup-3 series. It will be a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seater open wheel formula racing cars held across Europe. The championship was created as an alternative to the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional European Championship and the Euroformula Open championship, after the latter series struggled to attract entries in late 2022.[1][2]

The series aims to provide a level playing field for all drivers, with all partaking teams agreeing on a maximal budget of 400,000€ per season.[3]

Teams and drivers

Teams will utilize a new Tatuus-designed chassis, a lighter version of the T-318 chassis used in the Formula Regional European Championship. The car will use the same Alfa Romeo-Autotechnica engine as its FIA-sanctioned counterpart, albeit tuned up to 300bhp, and Hankook tires. A push-to-pass system is also planned to be used.[2]

Race calendar

Eight destinations were announced when the series was revealed, with every round set to consist of two practice sessions, two qualifyings and two races.[2]
