2025 Eurocup-3 season

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2025 Eurocup-3 season is scheduled to be the third season of the Eurocup-3 series. Eurocup-3 is a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seater open wheel formula racing cars held across Europe, created in 2023 as an alternative to the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional European Championship and the Euroformula Open championship.[1]

Following an inaugural non-championship round in March 2024, the Eurocup-3 and Spanish F4 organisers announced the creation of a new Spanish Winter Championship for each series, to be held across the Iberian Peninsula in the early months of 2025.[2]

After Eurocup-3 held a one-off non-championship winter event in 2024, plans for a full winter championship were revealed in late September of the same year.[2] This winter championship was then officially launched a few days later, with its calendar and event format also confirmed.[20] The 2024 season will consist of three race weekends, the first two of which with three races, therefore differing from Eurocup-3's normal format of two races per weekend which will be used for the last round.[20][21] On 18 November, it was revealed that the last round at Circuito de Navarra was replaced with a round at MotorLand Aragón.[20][22]
