The design philosophy of this new automotive, which might be raced within the 2025, 2026 and 2027 F3 seasons, is to offer younger drivers who aspire to race in Components 2 and Components 1 one of the best alternative to progress by means of the pyramid.
The brand new look of the F3 2025 automotive is in keeping with the most recent F2 and F1 household, reflecting the identical security, programs, and efficiency, at inexpensive prices. It complies with the most recent FIA security requirements and is powered by a bespoke 6-cylinder 3.4-litre naturally aspirated Mecachrome engine, which delivers 380 horsepower at 8000 rpm.
The brand new automotive is deliberate to run on Aramco’s superior gasoline, which is being developed to be compliant with the FIA’s 100% sustainable gasoline customary in 2025. This gasoline, additionally deliberate for use within the F2 Championship, is meant as a step ahead within the Components 1 group’s drive to be Internet Zero by 2030. The brand new automotive may also run on new Pirelli 16” tyre which from 2025 may have a pure rubber part licensed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
The F3 2025 automotive has been designed to spice up overtaking capabilities, which is able to produce thrilling on-track motion and the brand new cockpit has been designed to enhance the ergonomics and driver set up to accommodate a variety of racers.
The automotive programs will nonetheless embrace marshalling akin to Digital Security Automobile (VSC), an optimised Drag Discount System (DRS) and a brand new Marelli Car Management Unit (VCU), equivalent to the present F2 automotive.
The F3 2025 made a profitable shakedown check final June in Varano, with former F2 driver Tatiana Calderon on the wheel. Since then, it has lined 2,000 kilometres throughout a number of improvement exams. Following at the moment’s unveiling, the event programme will proceed for the rest of the 12 months.
A primary automotive might be delivered to the groups earlier than the top of December 2024, and the opposite two vehicles might be provided in mid-January 2025. The groups and drivers will first be capable of expertise the brand new era automotive on the official pre-season exams, in early 2025.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem: “The revealing of the FIA Components 3 2025 automotive marks a pivotal second in our dedication to creating the following era of racing expertise. This automotive is greater than only a step ahead in know-how and sustainability; it represents a essential step within the FIA’s single-seater ladder. By aligning intently with FIA Components 2 and Components 1 aerodynamics, the brand new F3 automotive provides younger drivers an important platform to develop their expertise, making ready them for the challenges that lie forward within the larger classes.
“Along with up to date security and efficiency, we’re proud that this new era of vehicles integrates cutting-edge know-how initiatives aimed toward serving to to cut back racing carbon emissions, operating on superior gasoline that meets the FIA’s 100% sustainable gasoline customary, identical to Components 1 from 2026. This demonstrates our dedication to work in the direction of reducing motorsport’s greenhouse gasoline emissions whereas driving innovation.
“Furthermore, the improved cockpit design displays our ongoing efforts to make motorsport extra inclusive, guaranteeing that drivers of all bodily profiles have the chance to compete on the highest stage. This new FIA Components 3 embodies the FIA’s imaginative and prescient of a sport that’s progressive, inclusive, and sustainable.”
Stefano Domenicali President and CEO of Components 1: “The F3 Championship continues to ship exhilarating racing, shut title fights and most significantly is a basic coaching floor for future members of the Components 1 grid. It can be crucial that the following era of stars can proceed to hone their expertise in an F3 automotive designed to assist all drivers progress by means of the motorsport pyramid. This new automotive additionally takes a major step ahead in our sustainability journey by operating on gasoline that meets the FIA’s 100% sustainability gasoline customary, an innovation that can come to Components 1 in 2026. I’m excited to see it on the observe in 2025 and I need to pay tribute to the good collaboration between the FIA and our Crew, led by Bruno Michel.”
FIA Components 3 Championship CEO Bruno Michel: “I’m more than happy to unveil our new F3 automotive, which is able to race for the following three seasons. Identical to the present F2 automotive, along with the FIA, we now have designed a machine that’s difficult, protected, and the right software to arrange younger drivers who aspire to race in F1 sooner or later.
“The 2025 F3 automotive has been designed to offer thrilling racing, with loads of overtaking alternatives. Now we have additionally labored to make sure this new automotive suits all kinds of drivers, bearing in mind the FIA’s necessities concerning the steering effort.
