Current season

The Formula Regional European Championship is a FIA Formula 3 racing series. The inaugural season of it started in 2019. On 12 October 2018 was confirmed that Italian autosport regulator Automobile Club d’Italia (ACI) and karting promoter WSK will organise the championship.[1] Their bid was chosen over Renault Sport's bid with the same chassis, who attracted fewer votes from Single-Seater Commission members.[1]

The championship will feature eight rounds on the circuits across Europe with half of them in Italy.[2] The driver champion will receive FIA Super License points.

Car

The championship features Tatuus designed and built cars. The cars will be constructed out of carbon fibre and feature a monocoque chassis which feature a number of enhanced safety features including the new Halo device and improved side impact protection, and will have a six-speed paddle shift gear box.[1] The car will be powered by a Alfa Romeo 270 metric horsepower (200 kW) turbo engine tuned by Autotecnica.[1]
