Below this, there are official Regional F3 championships covering Europe, America, Asia and Japan – as well as the independent Formula Renault Eurocup and W Series. Others, such as Euroformula and Super Formula Lights, remain faithful to the classic F3 concept.
The Japanese Formula 4 champion Sho Tsuboi will step up to join Kenta Yamashita in the Toyota-backed TOM’S team in the national F3 series in 2016.
