Formula 2 and Formula 3 calendars confirmed

Calendars for next year’s Formula 2 and Formula 3 seasons have been confirmed by the FIA.

Formula 2 will next year boast 12 events while the rebooted Formula 3 series, which is merging the GP3 Series and Formula 3 European Championship into one competition, will compete at eight events.

All events for both categories are in support of Formula 1.

The notable omission from the calendar is the Macau Grand Prix, which has been a staple of Formula 3 competition since the early 1980s.

Complications surrounding the promoter, new F3 car, and circuit homologation have seen it miss out on a berth on the official calendar though it is expected to go ahead as a non-championship event.

Australian Joey Mawson competed for Arden during the 2018 GP3 Series, netting two podiums during the course of the year.

Compatriots Oscar Piastri and Alex Peroni are targeting Formula 3 next year with both having tested at Abu Dhabi last week.
