2023 Eurocup-3 season

The 2023 Eurocup-3 season was the inaugural season of the Eurocup-3 series. It was a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seater open wheel formula racing cars held across Europe. The championship was created 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][2]

The series aimed to provide a level playing field for all drivers, with all partaking teams agreeing on a maximum budget of €400,000 per season.[3]

Esteban Masson, driving for Campos Racing, became the inaugural Drivers' Champion, while his team won the Teams' Championship. Bruno del Pino, driving for MP Motorsport, won the Rookies' Championship.
