About GP3
The Series has been designed to make it the perfect driver training ground for GP2 and Formula One. All but one GP3 event will follow the Formula One European Calendar giving drivers firsthand experience of racing in the Grand Prix environment and gaining that all important F1 exposure.
Using the same chassis, engine and tyre suppliers, thirty young drivers will have to showcase their skills both in speed and in managing tyres, just like they will have to do later during their GP2 and Formula One careers. And with two races per weekend, reverse grids and 30 identical cars, driver’s ability will prove crucial in the battle to become GP3’s inaugural champion.
The series also benefits from close ties to the FIA, the governing body of world motorsport, and FOM: the FIA scrutineer the cars and oversee the running of all GP3 events, while FOM's unparalleled expertise in broadcasting and marketing will ensure that it has truly global reach and appeal.
