Formula 3 is a single-seater auto racing category that serves as a stepping stone for drivers aspiring to reach higher levels of motorsport, such as Formula 1. It features cars that are less powerful than those in Formula 2 and Formula 1, allowing young drivers to develop their skills in a competitive environment. The series is known for its emphasis on driver talent and is often used by teams to scout new racing prospects. Races typically take place on road courses and street circuits around the world, providing a platform for emerging drivers to showcase their abilities.
