2018 SEASON - Euroformula Open
INTRODUCTION

                                 Entering our 18th season!

                                 The series were created in 2001 by GT
                                 Sport, in Spain. The Euroformula Open
                                 evolved from a national F3 championship
                                 into a continental series and one of the most
                                 interesting F3-based championships, with the
                                 best return on investment in the category.

                                 The Euroformula Open is enjoying a growing
                                 success in terms of excellence and quality of
                                 entries, raising interest, exposure and
                                 geographical expansion.
