The FIA Formula 3 World Championship unveiled its 10-round 2024 calendar on Friday.
20 races across 10 venues and three continents will see the stars of tomorrow race as part of the Formula 1 support package.
The calendar for 2024 is a near-carbon copy of this year’s calendar, with the precise dates proving to be the only alteration.
30 drivers, representing a total of 10 teams will get their 2024 season underway in Bahrain on 29 February-2 March.
The second round will be a second visit to Albert Park in Melbourne, Australia on the 22-24 March, following the venue’s F3 debut in 2023.
F3 will then head from Australia to Italy for round four of the 2024 championship at the iconic Imola circuit on 17-19 May.
Imola was due to host F3 alongside the rest of the Grand Prix support package in 2023 until the Emilia-Romagna region was tragically affected by flooding.
In 2024, Imola will be followed by Monte-Carlo on the F3 calendar, with the world-renowned street circuit making its sophomore appearance in the series on 23-26 May.
F3 will then head into a European triple-header, beginning with Barcelona (21-23 June), followed by Spielberg (28-30 June) and Silverstone (5-7 July).
Rounds eight and nine of the 2024 F3 season will run back-to-back, with Budapest hosting the series on 19-21 July, followed by Spa-Francorchamps on 26-28 July.
There will then be a summer break hiatus before the tenth and final round sees F3 conclude its 2024 campaign at Monza, on 30 August-1 September.
F1 President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali said; “We are all excited to announce the 2024 Formula 3 calendar that brings huge anticipation and excitement after an already thrilling season this year.”
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem stated that the calendar for next season’s F3 championship will provide a solid foundation for those competing.
“The calendar that we are very pleased to confirm today provides a broad range of circuits, including some of the most challenging and iconic racing venues anywhere in the world, on which the potential stars of the future will give the drivers the best possible preparation for the next step up the ladder to the FIA Formula 2 Championship,” he said.
F3 CEO Bruno Michel spoke of Albert Park and Monte-Carlo returning to the calendar, after a successful debut this year.
“In 2023, we introduced two new circuits – Melbourne and Monte Carlo – which held extremely successful events for Formula 3,” he said.
“I am very pleased to include them again in the 2024 calendar.”
Michel also talked up the growth of F3 as a whole, stating that; “In a matter of five years, the FIA Formula Championship 3 has become a decisive category that features the best up-and-coming talents on their way to the top steps of motorsport.”
