2023 Eurocup-3 season

[1][2] The series aimed to provide a level playing field for all drivers, with all partaking teams agreeing on a maximum budget of €400,000 per season.

[2] Eight destinations were announced when the series was revealed, with every round consisting of two practice sessions, two qualifyings and two races.

The new series was greeted with wet weather, and MP's Mari Boya coped best to take two pole positions.

Campos's Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak took pole position for the first race, and kept it ahead of his teammate Esteban Masson and MP's Sebastian Øgaard, but his car suffered a mechanical issue that forced him to retire.

The first half of the first race was filled with battles for the podium, but Boya was able to repel multiple attacks on his first place.

Boya kept close to him, but could not mount an attack, before the race was ended early when Palou's Jorge Campos crashed.

[41] The second half of the season began at Circuito de Jerez with GRS's debutant Nikola Tsolov taking pole position.

He continued his strong form to also take pole position for the second race, but was once again unable to nail his start.

Masson held the lead, but weaved too much on a safety car restart and was hit with a drive-through penalty.

This dropped him out of the points and left Boya to head a MP Motorsport 1-2-3 ahead of Øgaard and Garfias.

[44][45] The penultimate round of the season at Circuit Ricardo Tormo once again began with Masson taking pole position for race one.

Boya started the second race from first place and managed his gap to Øgaard, who himself had no pressure coming from Garfias in third.

His win saw Boya jump Øgaard in the standings, with him and Masson only separated by a single point going into the season finale.

[46][47] The championship decider at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya started with Masson dealing the first blow by taking pole position for race one.

Inthraphuvasak ended his campaign with another second place, while Garfias had to fight off Drivex's Nick Gilkes for third before the latter made a mistake.

His mistakes, like in Jerez and Estoril, made the title fight as close as it was, but when it came down to the last race, the rest of the field was no match for him.

Additional points were awarded for setting the fastest lap during a race or qualifying on pole position.
