The 2024 Eurocup-3 season will be the second season of the Eurocup-3 series. It will be a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seater open wheel formula racing cars held across Europe. The championship was created in 2023 as an alternative to the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional European Championship and the Euroformula Open championship, after the latter series struggled to attract entries in late 2022.[1]

Teams and drivers

Teams will utilize the same Tatuus F3 T-318 chassis used in the Formula Regional European Championship, but fitted with an updated body kit, a new intercooler and a battery kit. It also is 25kg lighter than the FRECA car. The car will use a 270hp Alfa Romeo-Autotecnica engine, and Hankook tires.[2]

Race calendar

The calendar for the 2024 season was announced on 20 November 2023. The race tally remained the same, at 16 races across eight tracks.[5] The series will debut at the Red Bull Ring, at Algarve International Circuit and at Circuit Paul Ricard, while Monza, Estoril and the Circuit Ricardo Tormo did not return to the schedule.[6] As the series shares its promoter with the F4 Spanish Championship, five of the eight rounds will be held together with that series.
