2025 Eurocup-3 season
The 2025 Eurocup-3 season is scheduled to be the third season of the Eurocup-3 series. Eurocup-3 is a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seater open wheel formula racing cars held across Europe, created in 2023 as an alternative to the FIA-sanctioned Formula Regional European Championship and the Euroformula Open championship.[1]
Following an inaugural non-championship round in March 2024, the Eurocup-3 and Spanish F4 organisers announced the creation of a new Spanish Winter Championship for each series, to be held across the Iberian Peninsula in the early months of 2025.[2]

Race calendar
[edit]After Eurocup-3 held a one-off non-championship winter event in 2024, plans for a full winter championship were revealed in late September of the same year.[2] This winter championship was then officially launched a few days later, with its calendar and event format also confirmed.[22] The 2024 season will consist of three race weekends, the first two of which with three races, therefore differing from Eurocup-3's normal format of two races per weekend which will be used for the last round.[22][23] On 18 November, it was revealed that the last round at Circuito de Navarra was replaced with a round at MotorLand Aragón.[22][24]

The final round will only have two races, so no sprint race will take place.
Two points will be awarded for qualifying on pole position, and one point will be awarded for setting the fastest lap during a race.[25]
