The provisional 2015 F3 Cup Championship calendar has been released, with eighteen races set to take place across seven race weekends.
Alongside two visits to Brands Hatch, the series will visit Silverstone, Oulton Park, Donington Park and Snetterton, while the venue for a European round is set to be announced soon.
A new race format for next season will see four of the seven rounds run as a triple-header, with two fifteen minute sprint races and a twenty minute feature race, alongside double-headers for the remaining three.
“With the demise of the British F3 Championship, it was important to allow newer F3 machinery into F3 Cup,” said David Scott, MSVR’s Race Operations Manager.
“With the class revisions and a new three-race format, we’re confident that the 2015 F3 Cup Championship will prove to be an attractive proposition for aspiring young drivers, like current champion Toby Sowery, and amateur racers alike.”
The F3 Cup will incorporate cars built from 2008 to 2011 in the Cup Class, 1997 to 2001 machinery in the Trophy class and 1981 to 1996 cars in the Masters Class, alongside an invitational class for cars outside these boundaries.
