Revision as of 11:35, 25 September 2012
The 2013 GP3 Series season will be the fourth season of the GP3 Series, a motor racing feeder series for Formula One and sister series GP2.
Following a three-year cycle, the previous GP3 chassis will be replaced by a brand new car, the GP3/13, built by Italian racing car manufacturer Dallara.[1] The 280bhp turbo-charged engine used from 2010 to 2012 will be upgraded to a 400bhp naturally-aspirated unit,[2] which will be used until 2016.

Driver changes
- Entering GP3
- Samin Gómez Briceno, who drove for Jenzer Motorsport in the 2012 Formula Abarth season, will continue her association with the team when she joins the GP3 Series grid in 2013.[4]
- Formula Ford driver Eric Lichtenstein will make his debut with Carlin.[3]
- Leaving GP3
- Mitch Evans, who won the 2012 championship with MW Arden,[6] will leave the series. As is the case in parent series GP2, any driver who wins the GP3 championship is not permitted to continue racing in the category.
- As Red Bull Junior Team's program driver, António Félix da Costa, who was third in the 2012 championship with Carlin Motorsport, will move to Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2013, said Félix da Costa to the Portuguese newspaper Diário de Notícias[7].
Team changes
- The maximum grid size will be formally capped at twenty-seven entries.[8] Thirty had previously been allowed, but this proved unsustainable over time, culminating in the withdrawal of the Ralf Schumacher—Mücke Motorsport collaboration, RSC Mücke, from the 2012 grid.
Calendar
The format of the 2013 calendar will remain unchanged from 2012, with the series spread across eight rounds supporting Formula One and sister series GP2.[8]
