The F3 Asian Championship is an FIA Formula 3 racing series, which started in 2018. On 26 January 2018 it was confirmed that pan-Asian promoter Top Speed would organise the championship.[1]

The inaugural 2018 championship season featured 15 races held during five rounds of 3-race weekends on circuits across Asia. The driver champion receives FIA Super License points, while also it features the AM (amateur) and teams standings.

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 single-make 270 hp turbo engine provided by Autotecnica.[2]
