The
Dallara F3 2019
is an
open-wheel racing car
developed by Italian manufacturer
Dallara
for use in the
FIA Formula 3 Championship
, a
feeder series
for
Formula One
. The F3 2019 is the first car used by the FIA Formula 3 Championship and was introduced for the
championship's inaugural season
and scheduled to be used until the 2024 season before being replaced by planned Dallara F3 2025 from 2025 season onwards. As the Formula 3 Championship is a
spec series
, the F3 2019 is raced by every team and driver competing in the series.

The F3 2019 was unveiled at the weekend of the final
GP3 Series
round in
Abu Dhabi
in November 2018 and later made its first public appearance when teams contesting the inaugural championship completed a test day at the
Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours
in February 2019.
[3]
As of 2024, the Dallara F3 2019 remains the longest-serving
FIA Formula 3 Championship
chassis usage since 2019 through 2024 seasons.

Chassis
[
edit
]
A closer look at Dallara F3 2019 car.
The chassis is largely identical to the
GP3/16
chassis but with a few tweaks as a major facelift and more longer length than GP3/16. Modifications to the chassis include a new front end with a range of suspension setup possibilities and anti-intrusion side panels as part of a push to improve safety.
The chassis also features the
"halo"
cockpit protection device, a wishbone-shaped frame mounted to the monocoque designed to deflect debris away from a driver's head in the case of an accident.
The rear wing still incorporates the
Drag Reduction Systems
(DRS) rear wing flap in a purpose for overtaking maneuver assist.
Engine package
[
edit
]
The F3 2019 carries over the same 3.4
L
(207
cu in
)
V6
naturally-aspirated engine developed by
Mecachrome Motorsport
that powered its predecessor, the GP3/16, but the power output is slightly reduced from 300 kW (400 bhp) to 280 kW (380 bhp).
[4]
Tyres
[
edit
]
Pirelli
would remain as preferred official tyre partner and supplier of
FIA Formula 3 Championship
from 2019 season onwards. The tyre sizes and layouts were same as
Dallara GP3/10
,
Dallara GP3/13
and
Dallara GP3/16
tyre designs and thus kept the traditional 13-inch wheel rims.
