2016 GP3 Series

[1] Mecachrome took over as official engine supplier of the series from 2016 onwards, replacing AER after three years but the 3.4-litre V6 naturally-aspirated would remain.

Jake Hughes took 2 sprint race wins; he won in Hockenheim and Yas Marina.

Jack Aitken, Matthew Parry, and Ralph Boschung each took 1 race win during the season.

Teams are allowed to run four cars to compensate for the drop in the number of entries.

[4] The starting grid for any individual race meeting may contain a possible maximum of 28 cars across seven teams.
