On the occasion of the last race of its predecessor, the new Formula 3 car from Dallara for the period 2025 to 2027 was presented to the FIA Formula 3
On the sidelines of its 2024 season finale weekend in Monza (Italy), the FIA Formula 3 presented the new car for the near future on Saturday. Like its predecessor, it comes from Dallara. The type designation of the new car is F3 2025. However, the car will not only be used in the coming season, but in the next three seasons, i.e. up to and including 2027.
In terms of design, the new Formula 3 racer follows the example of its “big brothers” from Formula 2 and Formula 1. The Dallara F3 2025 also has an adjustable rear wing (DRS). Compared to its predecessor, the Dallara F3 2019, the cockpit has been designed to be slightly larger and more ergonomic.
The Dallara F3 2025 is powered by a 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine from Mecachrome. The naturally aspirated engine is rated at 380 hp at a maximum speed of 8,000 revolutions per minute. The wheels of the new Formula 3 car are 16-inch, fitted with slick tires from Pirelli.
A 100% sustainable fuel from Aramco is to be used as fuel in the FIA Formula 3 from the 2025 season. This is currently still under development and will also be used in Formula 2 next year.
The new Formula 3 car underwent its first endurance test back in June of this year. Former Formula 2 and IndyCar driver Tatiana Calderon sat in the cockpit at the shakedown in Varano (Italy).
Since then, the F3 2025 has been put through more than 2,000 test kilometers with different drivers. There will be further tests between now and the race debut in Melbourne (Australia) in mid-March 2025, including the official winter tests with all teams in the spring.
At the presentation of the Dallara F3 2025 in Monza, Formula 3 series boss Bruno Michel said: “I am delighted to present our new Formula 3 car, which will be used for the next three seasons. Just like the Formula 2 car, we have worked with the FIA to develop a car that is sophisticated, safe and the perfect tool to prepare young drivers who want to drive Formula 1 in the future. “
