Current season

Eurocup-3 is a formula racing series regulated according to Formula Regional regulations. The series is founded for levelling up the competition for all drivers, with each team committing on a maximum budget of €400,000 every season.

History

The championship was inaugurated in 2023, and was formed as an alternative to the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional European Championship and the Euroformula Open Championship, especially after the latter series struggled to attract entries in late 2022.

Cars

In its first three seasons, all competitors used the identical Tatuus F3 T-318 chassis from the Formula Regional European Championship, but upgraded with a new intercooler, updated body kit, and battery kit. This updated car is called as the Tatuus F3 T-318-EC3, and it weighs 25 kg (55 lb) less than the Tatuus F3 T-318. The car is fitted with a 1.75 L 270 hp (200 kW) Alfa Romeo-Autotecnica turbocharged inline-3 engine, with a push-to-pass system which provides an additional 25 hp (19 kW).

In 2026, Eurocup-3 switched to a new spec chassis, the Dallara 326. It has the same structural design as Dallara 324, which is currently used in Euroformula Open Championship and Super Formula Lights. The engine is a 1.6 L 275 hp (205 kW) turbocharged inline-3 developed by TOM'S based on the Toyota G16E-GTS.

Hankook is the tire supplier since the first season.
