- Tygo Bekkema
The FIA have unveiled the new generation of F3 car at Monza. The cars will enter service from 2025 to 2027. The cars will run on 100% biodegradable petrol for the first time and the car is specially designed to encourage more overtaking on track.
Formula 3 is one of the main stepping-up classes on the way to Formula 1. This new car features a top speed of no less than 300 kilometres per hour and an acceleration capability that allows it to go from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in three seconds.
Bruno Michel, CEO of Formula 3, is delighted with the new car: "I am very pleased to unveil our new F3 car, which will race for the next three seasons. Just like the current F2 car, together with the FIA, we have designed a machine that is challenging, safe, and the perfect tool to prepare young drivers who aspire to race in F1 in the future."
More sustainability
"The 2025 F3 car has been designed to provide exciting racing, with a lot of overtaking opportunities. We have also worked to ensure this new car fits all types of drivers, taking into account the FIA’s requirements regarding the steering effort. With this in mind, we have enhanced our car’s driveability and comfort to further ensure the new generation car is more inclusive."
Formula 1 have been making the case for more sustainability within the king class of motorsport for some time. Michel is pleased that F3 can now play its part in this. "I’m also very proud of reaching another important milestone in terms of sustainability: thanks to our partner Aramco, the F3 car will run on advanced fuel, meeting the FIA 100% sustainable fuel standard as early as 2025, and several parts of the F3 2025 will use recycled carbon," he revealed in an FIA press release.
