bulletins shall be binding on all Competitors in relations to the relevant Competition(s).
Each such Bulletin shall be countersigned as follows:
a) technical bulletins by the Technical Delegate and the Chairman of the Stewards;
b) sporting bulletins by the Race Director and the Chairman of the Stewards.
Notwithstanding the above, a bulletin or modification or supplementation may be extended to
apply to one (1) additional consecutive Competition falling within the same year providing that
it has been agreed by the FIA and the Promoter.
1.4 These Sporting Regulations come into force from the moment of their publication on the FIA
website ([Link]), and replace all previous Sporting Regulations.

2) GENERAL UNDERTAKING
2.1 All drivers, Competitors and officials participating in the Championship undertake, on behalf of
themselves, their employees, agents and suppliers, to observe all the provisions as
supplemented or amended of the 2024 International Sporting Code, the FIA General
Prescriptions, the Technical Regulations and the present Sporting Regulations, together referred
to as “the Regulations”. In addition, drivers, Competitors and officials undertake to observe all
provisions of any Supplementary Regulations for each single Competition.
2.2 The Championship and each of its Competitions is governed by the FIA in accordance with the
Regulations.
2.3 Competition means any competition entered into the FIA Formula 3 Championship Calendar for
any year commencing at the start of Scrutineering and ending at the time for the lodging of a
protest under the terms of the Code or the time when a technical or sporting certification has
been carried out under the terms of the Code, whichever is the later.

inclusion of a Competition on the international calendar. Only with the approval of the FIA can
such special regulations come into force for a Competition.

3) GENERAL CONDITIONS
3.1 It is the Competitor's responsibility to ensure that all persons concerned by their entry observe
all the requirements of the Regulations. If a Competitor is unable to be present in person at
the Competition, they must nominate their representative in writing. The person having
charge of an entered car during any part of a Competition is responsible jointly and severally
with the Competitor for ensuring that the requirements are observed.
3.2 Competitors must ensure that their cars comply with the conditions of eligibility and safety
throughout the Competition.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 2/54 V1 14 November 2023

3.3 The presentation of a car for initial scrutineering (see Article 25.3 below) will be deemed an
implicit statement of conformity.
3.4 All persons concerned in any way with an entered car or present in any other capacity
whatsoever in the paddock, pits, pit lane or track must wear an appropriate pass at all times.

4) LICENCES
4.1 All drivers participating in the Championship must hold a Grade A or B International FIA

Technical Regulations published as part of the general rules of the Championship. No spare
cars are eligible for the Championship. All cars will be duly marked with a proper identification
as being scrutineered in accordance with the Technical and Sporting Regulations.
Competitors may be requested to carry on-board cameras on their cars, this request will be

5.3 The number of laps to be completed in the Sprint race and in the Feature race from the start
signal referred to in Article 37.9 to the end-of-race signal referred to in Article 44.1, will be
established prior the Competition. However, should forty minutes in the Sprint race and forty
five minutes in the Feature race elapse before the scheduled number of laps has been
completed, the leader will be shown the end-of-race signal when he crosses the control line
(the “Line”) at the end of the lap following the lap during which the forty minute period in the
Sprint race and forty five minute period in the Feature race ended provided these do not result
in the scheduled number of laps being exceeded.
Should it become necessary to reduce the time allotted for a race, the leader will be shown the
end-of-race signal when he crosses the control line (the “Line”) at the end of the lap following
the lap during which the specified time period for the race ended provided this does not result
in the scheduled number of laps being exceeded.
Should either race be suspended (see Article 42) the length of the suspension may be added to
these periods.
If the formation lap is started behind the safety car (see Article 37.14) the number of race laps
will be reduced by the number of laps carried out by the safety car minus one.
5.4 The maximum number of Competitions in the Championship is 10 and the minimum is 6. At
each Competition two races (Sprint race and Feature race) will be held subject to the approval
of the relevant organiser and ASN.

Applications received after this time may be accepted at the sole discretion of the steering

Promoter will allocate competition numbers to any new Competitors according to such criteria
as it thinks appropriate.
8.3 a) No more than 30 cars will be admitted to the Championship, three per Competitor.
b) In order to preserve the competitive and sporting nature and structure of the
Championship, where any material change in the identity or control of a team occurs,
any application or entitlement to participate in any part of the Championship will be
cancelled automatically.
However, the Promoter may suspend the operation of that general rule where it gives
its prior consent to the change of identity or control. That consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
The grant of such consent shall be conditional upon the Promoter being satisfied that
the change of identity or control shall not materially alter the economic and sporting
entity that is the Team.
Factors which may be considered by the Promoter in determining whether the economic
and sporting entity will be maintained may include (but shall not be limited to) the
composition and structure of the team, the team’s name, the team’s logos, the team’s
colours and fairness to other Competitors.
Nothing in these regulations shall prevent new Competitors from entering the
Championship in the normal way.
c) Entitlement to participate in any part of the Championship is given to a Competitor
personally, and is non-transferable. No assignment of the above entitlement by a
Competitor is authorised without the express written approval of the Promoter. If a
Competitor fails to follow that specific rule, the Promoter may automatically and with
immediate effect cancel that Competitor’s entry into the Championship.

9) CAR LIVERY
9.1 All the cars entered by a Competitor must have the same livery at every Competition (i.e. same
basic colours and overall appearance), however drivers who are part of a Formula 1 program
may be allowed to use a different livery on their cars. This will be subject to the approval of the
Promoter and the FIA.

than 230mm high, have a minimum stroke thickness of 40mm and be of a clearly contrasting
colour to their background.

car and in either case be at least 25mm in its largest dimension.
The name of the driver must appear on the external bodywork and be clearly legible.
9.4 In order that the cars of each Competitor may be easily distinguished from one another whilst
they are on the track, the on-board cameras located above the principal roll structure of the
first car must be predominantly black and the second car must be predominantly fluorescent
yellow and the third car fluorescent red.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 6/54 V1 14 November 2023

10) TESTING
10.1 Private testing with a Formula 3 car is not permitted.
Testing, which is compulsory for all Competitors, may only be carried out in accordance with
Article 10.2 below. Any other track running time undertaken by, or on behalf of, a Competitor
entered in the Championship (or which is suspected of being connected in any way whatsoever
with a Competitor entered in the Championship) is not permitted.
10.2 Testing of Formula 3 cars must take place in accordance with the following:
a) Each year the Promoter will organize between 3 and 10 two or three-day official tests.
At least one of these tests will take place between 1 January and the first Competition of
the Championship.
Testing will consist of a three-hour morning session and a three-hour afternoon session.
During each of these tests all Technical Regulations must be respected.
At a two-day test no more than six sets of new dry-weather tyres and three sets of wet-
weather tyres may be used on each car, at a three-day test the number of new dry-
weather tyres will be increased to eight sets.
In addition, no driver in the same team may use more than six sets of dry-weather tyres
at a two-day test and no more than eight sets of dry-weather tyres at a three-day test.
Wet weather tyres may only be used if track conditions necessitate their use.
Installation tyres may be used for the first two laps by each car on the first day of each
test.
All tyres must be used as supplied by the manufacturer, any modification or treatment
such as cutting, grooving, the application of solvents or softeners, the fitting of heat
retaining devices or pre-heating is therefore prohibited. This applies to both wet-
weather and dry-weather tyres.
The only acceptable variation from the standard tyre specification is shaving of the
shoulders as and when considered necessary by the technicians of the tyre supplier and
when all such work is done by the tyre supplier.
With the approval of the tyre manufacturer, tyres may be carried over to the next
official test and will become part of the maximum number of sets allowed per car.
A secure area for the storage of tyres during the Test will be provided by the tyre
manufacturer and will be located in the paddock area. All dry-weather tyres allocated
for use at a Test must be stored in this area during the times specified by the FIA F3
technical delegate at the start of the Test. Competitors are not permitted to access to
this secure storage area during the above specified times without the consent of the FIA
F3 technical delegate.
At the end of each FIA F3 test all tyres must be returned to the tyre manufacturer with
the exception of one set of installation tyres per car.
b) The costs of track rental will be shared equally among the Competitors on a day-to-day
basis.
10.3 During all testing:
a) Red flag and end-of-session procedures must be respected.
b) No other type of vehicle is permitted on the track.
c) Every reasonable effort should be made to ensure that the recommendations
concerning emergency services detailed in Article 16 of Appendix H to the Code are followed.

type of single seater car that was designed and/or built to achieve a power-to-weight ratio less
than 2.0 kg/bhp.
This limitation will not apply to any cars which were designed and built in order to comply with
the Formula One Technical Regulations of the current season or any of the seven calendar

organiser. The organiser must be a club or body acceptable to the FIA and must enter into an
organisation agreement with the FIA when it applies to organise the Competition.
12.2 Each organiser shall supply the information set out in Appendix 1, part A hereto to FIA Formula

the race director may, at his absolute discretion, disable all such systems until conditions
improve.
b) For the sole purpose of improving overtaking opportunities during the race the
adjustable bodywork may be activated by the driver after they have completed one lap
after the race start or following a safety car period.
The adjustable bodywork will be enabled, and may only be used by the driver, if they are
less than one second behind another at any of the pre-determined detection points
around each circuit.
In conditions of poor visibility, if yellow flags are being shown in the activation zone, or
after VSC, the race director may, at his absolute discretion, disable all such systems until
conditions improve or yellow flags are withdrawn.
The race director may adjust the above time proximity in order to ensure the stated
purpose of the adjustable bodywork is met.

will provide:
a) Four sets of dry-weather tyres (one of these may be carried over from the previous test
or Competition where applicable) and two sets of wet-weather tyres for each car.
b) Four sets of dry-weather tyres (one of these may be the carry over in accordance with a)
above) will be allocated to each driver before the start of the free practice session.
c) At the end of free practice, if one set of dry weather tyres has been carried over from
the previous test or event, then it must be returned to the Supplier before the start of
the qualifying practice session.
e) All tyres shall be marked with a unique identification.
At the end of each Competition all tyres must be returned to the tyre manufacturer with the
exception of one set of installation tyres per car.
Dry and wet-weather tyres may not be used as part of a mixed set.
Tyres must be used on the side of the car for which they were allocated.
24.2 All tyres must be used as supplied by the manufacturer, any modification or treatment such as
cutting, grooving, the application of solvents or softeners, the fitting of heat retaining devices
or pre-heating is therefore prohibited. This applies to both wet-weather and dry-weather
tyres.
The only acceptable variation from the standard tyre specification is shaving of the shoulders
as and when considered necessary by the technicians of the tyre supplier, and when all such
work is carried out by the tyre supplier.
Testing of tyres
a) From the time at which each Competitor receives fitted tyres from the appointed tyre
supplier at or before a Competition these may not be used on any rig, simulator or
vehicle, other than the Formula 3 car for which they were intended.
b) Tyres supplied to any Competitor at any time may not be used on any rig or vehicle
(other than a Formula 3 car), either Competitor owned or rented, providing
measurements of forces and/or moments, tyre rolling resistance, or aerodynamic drag.
Furthermore, no measurements may be taken of any tyre characteristics, either through
contact or contactless instruments or electronic instrumentation other than those
specified for temperature and pressure measurement specified in the regulations. In
addition, operations related to tyre wear measurements with manual depth gauges, and
hand held temperature measurement devices are allowed.
c) Tyres may be used on a test rig providing forces control and monitoring by Formula 3-
wheel rim manufacturers for the sole purpose of proof testing their products.
24.3 With the exception of the races, wet-weather tyres may only be used after the track has been
declared wet by the race director, following which wet or dry-weather tyres may be used for
the remainder of the relevant session.
24.4 Distribution of tyres to all Competitors shall be carried out under the supervision of the FIA F3
technical delegate. Once distributed the tyres must always be visible inside the FIA F3 paddock
during the Competition. In a case of force majeure, the stewards may alter this programme.
24.5 Before initial scrutineering, the FIA F3 technical delegate will allocate dry and wet-weather
tyres to each car and driver combination.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 14/54 V1 14 November 2023

24.6 A secure area for the storage of tyres during the Competition will be provided by the tyre
manufacturer and will be located in the paddock area. All dry-weather tyres allocated for use
at a Competition must be stored in this area during the times specified by the FIA F3 technical
delegate at the start of the Competition. Competitors are not permitted to access to this
secure storage area during the above specified times without the consent of the FIA F3
technical delegate.
Wheels removed from a car during qualifying practice or a race will be deemed to be in parc
fermé and, unless the same wheels are used for a second time during the same qualifying
practice or race, no work on the wheels is permitted (with the exception of pressure checks
conducted by the Competitor immediately after the wheels have been removed from the car).
Under these circumstances tyre pressures may not be adjusted after such a pressure check.
With the exception of the wheels fitted to the car at the end of the qualifying practice or race,
it is the responsibility of each Competitor to take the wheels removed from their cars during
the qualifying practice or race to the parc fermé as soon as possible after the qualifying
practice or race (where they will remain until the cars are released).
24.7 On the sidewall of each tyre an appropriate identification will be applied.
24.8 A Competitor wishing to replace an already allocated unused tyre with another identical
unused one must present both tyres to the FIA F3 technical delegate.
24.9 The use of tyres without appropriate identification is strictly forbidden.
24.10 No tyre allocated for one Competition may be used at another Competition unless this tyre is
re-allocated by the FIA F3 technical delegate.
24.11 During all practice sessions and races only allocated tyres are allowed in the pits
24.12 During all practice sessions, all allocated tyres must be clearly visible to scrutineers in the pit
lane.
24.13 If, in the opinion of the tyre technicians and FIA F3 appointed officials, the nominated tyre
specification proves to be technically unsuitable, the stewards may authorise the use of
additional tyres to a different specification or a change of tyres during a race to be made
compulsory.
24.14 The tyre manufacturer will be entitled to deem any tyre unsafe for use at any time during a
Competition, under such circumstances the FIA F3 technical delegate will be informed.
24.15 If the formation lap is started behind the safety car because of rain (see Article 37.14), the use
of wet-weather tyres until the safety car returns to the pits is compulsory, if so directed by the
Race Director.
A penalty under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver who does not use wet weather
tyres whilst the safety car is on the track at such times.
24.16 Plank limitation:
a) The number of planks (reference F31903A006 and F31903A007) a car may use during the
Competitions of the 2024 season is limited to the number of Competitions plus 2 for both
the front and rear part of the plank. The planks will be marked with a serial number.
Competitors have to declare the serial number of not previously used planks fitted to the
car at least one hour prior the start of the session in writing to the FIA Technical Delegate.
It is the responsibility of the Competitor to ensure that only marked and declared planks
are used during any Practice session or Race. The only exception to the above is the Free
Practice of the first Competition of the season during which an unregistered plank may be
used.
b) Should a car exceed the above defined number of planks (front and/or rear part), it will be
required to start from the back of the grid in the race. This penalty will be imposed either
in the race in which the additional plank(s) are used for the first time, or in the race
following the practice session in which the additional plank(s) are used for the first time.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 15/54 V1 14 November 2023

 No previously nominated front planks may be used again if the number of front planks is
exceeded; the same applies to rear planks.
c) The stewards may apply a penalty to reduce the number of planks available in subsequent
events or apply additional penalties in the event that the number of planks is exceeded by
more than one.

25) SPORTING CHECKS AND SCRUTINEERING

25.1 Each Competitor must have all documents required by Article 4 available for inspection at any
time during the Competition.
25.2 At the first Competition of each Championship the FIA will check all licences.
25.3 Between 10.00 and 16.00 on the day before the first practice initial scrutineering of all cars will

mentioned in this Article may entail.
d) Require a Competitor to supply them with such parts or samples as they may deem
necessary.
25.7 Any Competitor whose car has a change of survival cell after initial scrutineering (see Article
25.3 above), must be re-presented for scrutineering approval.
25.8 The Race Director may require that any car involved in an accident be stopped and checked.
25.9 Checks and scrutineering shall be carried out by duly appointed officials who shall also be
responsible for the operation of the parc fermé and who alone are authorised to give
instructions to the Competitors.
25.10 The stewards will publish the findings of the scrutineers each time cars are checked during a
Competition. These results will not include any specific figures except when a car is found to
be in breach of the Technical Regulations.

26) DRIVERS AND CHANGES OF DRIVER

26.1 Each Competitor must have nominated its three drivers to the Promoter at least 10 days prior
to the first Competition, the Promoter will then publish a complete list.
No winner of a FIA Formula 3 Championship may participate in the two successive
Championships.
26.2 During a season each Competitor will be permitted to use five drivers. Changes must be
notified to the Promoter no later than two days prior to the Competition at which the new
driver wishes to compete. Any new driver may score points in the Championship.
26.3 Drivers may only change from one Competitor to another if :
a) They have been released by their original Competitor for whom they drove; or
b) Their original Competitor for whom they were driving nominate another driver.
26.4 Additional changes for reasons of force majeure will be considered separately.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 16/54 V1 14 November 2023

26.5 Any driver nominated to race by a Competitor participating in the FIA Formula One World
Championship or in the FIA Formula 2 Championship will not be permitted to participate in the
FIA Formula 3 Championship in the same event.

27) DRIVING
27.1 The driver must drive the car alone and unaided.
27.2 Drivers must observe the provisions of the Code relating to driving behaviour on circuits at all
times.
27.3 Drivers must make every reasonable effort to use the track at all times and may not
deliberately leave the track without a justifiable reason.
Drivers will be judged to have left the track if no part of the car remains in contact with it and,
for the avoidance of doubt, any white lines defining the track edges are considered to be part
of the track but the kerbs are not.
Should a car leave the track the driver may re-join, however, this may only be done when it is
safe to do so and without gaining any lasting advantage. At the absolute discretion of the race
director a driver may be given the opportunity to give back the whole of any advantage the
driver gained by leaving the track.
27.4 At no time may a car be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be
deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person.

28) PIT ENTRY, PIT LANE AND PIT EXIT

28.1 The section of track between the first safety car line and the beginning of the pit lane will be
designated the “pit entry”.
28.2 The section of track between the end of the pit lane and the second safety car line will be
designated the “pit exit”.
28.3 Cars may not enter the fast lane until the pit exit is opened at the start or re-start of each
practice or qualifying session and the start of races. Furthermore, no car may be moved to a
position in the inner lane which is closer to the pit exit than the garage which has been
assigned to the relevant Team.
If there is a red flag at any time during practice or qualifying all cars must return to their Teams
designated area in the inner lane.
At no time may a car be reversed in the pit lane under its own power.
28.4 The pit lane will be divided into two lanes, the lane closest to the pit wall will be designated the
"fast lane", and may be no more than 3.5 metres wide, the lane closest to the garages will be
designated the "inner lane".
Other than when cars are at the end of the pit lane under Articles 37.2 or 42, the inner lane is
the only area where any work can be carried out on a car. However, no work may be carried
out in the fast lane if it is likely to hinder other cars attempting to leave the pit lane.
28.5 Unless a car is pushed from the grid at any time during the start procedure, it may only be
driven from the Competitor’s designated garage area to the end of the pit lane.
28.6 a) During Qualifying Practice, Drivers leaving their pit position and returning to the track must
do so without delay in the fast lane.
b) In all sessions Drivers entering the pit lane from the track must return to their pit position
without delay. Creating a gap to facilitate double stacking for pit stops must be done on the
track and not in the pit entry or fast lane.
28.7 With the exception of reconnaissance laps permitted by Article 37.1, any driver that is required
to start a race from the pit lane may not drive the car from his Competitor’s designated garage

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 17/54 V1 14 November 2023

 area until the pit lane exit is closed before the scheduled start of the formation lap and must
stop in a line in the fast lane.
Under these circumstances working in the fast lane will be permitted but any such work is
restricted to :
a) Starting the engine and any directly associated preparation.
b) The fitting or removal of permitted cooling devices.
d) Changes made for driver comfort.
e) Changing damaged wheels and tyres and/or change tyre specification.
When cars are permitted to leave the pit lane they must do so in the order that was
established under Article 37.2 unless another car is unduly delayed. At all times drivers must
follow the directions of the marshals.
28.8 Other than by drying or sweeping, or by laying tyre rubber left when cars leave their pit stop
position, Competitors may not attempt to enhance the grip of the surface in the pit lane unless
a problem has been clearly identified and a solution agreed to by the FIA safety delegate.
28.9 Competitors must not paint lines on any part of the pit lane.
28.10 Other than under Article 28.4 above, no equipment may be left in the fast lane.
28.1 Team personnel are only allowed in the pit lane immediately before they are required to work
on a car and must withdraw as soon as the work is complete.
All team personnel carrying out any work on a car during all pit stops while the engine is
running must be wearing helmets which meet or exceed the requirements of ECE 22.05 -
European motorcycle road helmet, DOT - USA motorcycle road helmet or JIS T8133-2015, class
2 – JPN protective helmets for motor vehicle users. The use of appropriate eye protection is
compulsory.
Wheels not permitted to be thrown or dropped and they must be placed either flat on the
ground or stored in the wheel transportation trolley while in the pit lane.
28.21 a) Cars must not be released from a garage or pit stop position in way that could endanger
pit lane personnel or another driver.
Competitors must provide a means of clearly establishing, when being viewed from both
above and in the front of the car, when a car was released.
b) If a car is deemed to have been released in an unsafe condition during any practice
session, the stewards may drop the driver such number of grid positions as they
consider appropriate.
c) If a car is deemed to have been released in an unsafe condition during a race a penalty
under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on the driver concerned. However, if the driver
retires from the race as a result of the car being released in an unsafe condition a fine
may be imposed upon the Competitor.
d) An additional penalty will be imposed on any driver who, in the opinion of the stewards,
continues to drive a car knowing it to have been released in an unsafe condition.
In all of the above cases, a car will be deemed to have been released either when it has been
driven out of its designated garage area (when leaving from the garage) or after it has
completely cleared its pit stop position following a pit stop.
28.13 Under exceptional circumstances the race director may ask for the pit entry to be closed
during the race for safety reasons. At such times drivers may only enter the pit lane in order
for essential and entirely evident repairs to be carried out to the car. A penalty under Article
39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver who, in the opinion of the stewards, entered the pit lane
for any other reason whilst it was closed.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 18/54 V1 14 November 2023

29) WEIGHING
29.1 a) During the Free Practice session any driver who fails to stop when asked to do so, and
then fails to bring the car back to the FIA F3 weighing area, or if work is carried out on
the car before it is returned to the FIA F3 weighing area, will be referred to the
stewards.
b) During the qualifying practice session cars will be weighed as follows:
i) FIA will install weighing equipment in front of the first pit garage (“the FIA F3
weighing area”) which will be used for the weighing procedure.
ii) Cars will be selected at random to undergo the weighing procedure. The FIA F3
technical delegate will inform the driver by means of a signal at the beginning of
the pit lane that their car has been selected for weighing.
iii) The driver will proceed directly to the FIA F3 weighing area and stop the engine. A
reprimand will be imposed on any driver who fails to stop when signalled to do so,
provided the car is then brought back to the FIA F3 weighing area without delay
and that the FIA F3 technical delegate is satisfied the car has been brought back in
exactly the same condition it was in when it was driven into the pits.
Any driver who fails to stop when asked to do so and then fails to bring the car
back to the FIA F3 weighing area, or if work is carried out on the car before it is
returned to the FIA F3 weighing area, will be required to start the Sprint race and
Feature race from the pit lane.
iv) The car will then be weighed with the driver.
v) If the car is unable to reach the FIA F3 weighing area under its own power it will
be placed under the exclusive control of the marshals who will take the car to be
weighed.
vi) A car or driver may not leave the FIA F3 weighing area without the consent of the
FIA F3 technical delegate.
vii) If a car stops on the circuit and the driver leaves the car, they must go to the FIA
F3 weighing area immediately on their return to the pit lane in order for their
weight to be recorded.
c) After each session any classified car may be weighed. If a driver wishes to leave the car
before it is weighed the driver must ask the technical delegate to check their weight in
order that this may be added to that of the car. The Technical Delegate will tell the
driver the weight and, once the driver leaves the weighing area, this will be deemed
implicit acceptance of the figures.
d) The relevant car may be disqualified should its weight be less than that specified in the
Technical Regulations when weighed under a) or b) above, save where the deficiency in
weight results from the accidental loss of a component of the car.
e) No substance may be added to, placed on, or removed from a car after it has been
selected for weighing or has finished the race or during the weighing procedure (except
by a scrutineer when acting in their official capacity).
f) No one other than scrutineers and officials may enter or remain in the FIA F3 weighing
area without the specific permission of the FIA F3 technical delegate.
29.2 In the event of any breach of these provisions for the weighing of cars the stewards may drop
the driver such number of grid positions as they consider appropriate or disqualify him from
the race.

30) REFUELLING
30.1 The organiser must make at least two fire extinguishers of 5kg capacity available to each
Competitor and ensure that they work properly.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 19/54 V1 14 November 2023

 Each Competitor must ensure that an assistant equipped with a suitable fire extinguisher of
adequate capacity is beside the car throughout all refuelling operations.
30.2 Refuelling is only permitted in the Competitors’ designated garages or designated area in the
support paddock. Fuel may not be added to nor removed from a car at any time during a race.
30.3 The drivers may remain in their car throughout refuelling but the engine must be stopped.
30.4 During all refuelling or fuel handling operations :
a) The relevant personnel must be wearing outer garments which are in compliance with
either FIA Standard 8867-2016 or FIA Standard 8856-2000.
b) An assistant equipped with a suitable fire extinguisher of appropriate capacity must be
present and must be wearing outer garments which are in compliance with either FIA
Standard 8867-2016 or FIA Standard 8856-2000.
c) All cars, refuelling equipment and containers must be suitably grounded where
necessary.
d) Any powered pumping system used to transfer fuel must be operated by a non-latching
switch or be turned off automatically if the operator leaves.
30.5 Fuel may not be added to nor removed from a car on the grid.

31) PRACTICE SESSIONS

31.1 Save where these Sporting Regulations require otherwise, pit lane and track discipline and
safety measures will be the same for all practice sessions as for the races.
31.2 No driver may start in a race without taking part in a practice session at the relevant
Competition.
31.3 During all practices there will be a green and a red light at the end of the pit lane. Cars may
only leave the pit lane when the green light is on. Additionally, a blue flag and/or a flashing
blue light will be shown at the pit exit to warn drivers leaving the pit lane if cars are
approaching on the track.
31.4 If a car stops during practice it must be removed from the track as quickly as possible so that
its presence does not constitute a danger or hinder other Competitors. If the driver is unable
to drive the car from a dangerous position it shall be the duty of the marshals to assist them.
31.5 In the event of a driving infringement during any practice session the Stewards may delete a
drivers lap time (or lap times) or drop the driver such number of grid positions as they consider
appropriate. Unless it is completely clear that a driver committed a driving infringement any
such incident will normally be investigated after the relevant session.
Where appropriate, regard will also be given to the provisions of Article 18.1.
31.6 Any driver taking part in any practice session who, in the opinion of the stewards, stops
unnecessarily on the circuit or unnecessarily impedes another driver shall be subject to the
penalties referred to in Article 31.5.
31.7 The race director may interrupt practice as often and for as long as they think necessary to
clear the track or to allow the recovery of a car. In the case of free practice only, race director,
with the agreement of the stewards, may decline to prolong the practice period after an
interruption of this kind.
31.8 Should one or more sessions be thus interrupted, no protest can be accepted as to the
possible effects of the interruption on the qualification of drivers admitted to start.
31.9 Should it become necessary to stop the practice because the circuit is blocked by an accident
or because weather or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the Race Director shall
order a red flag to be shown at the Line. Simultaneously, red flags will be shown at all marshal
posts.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 20/54 V1 14 November 2023

 When the signal is given to stop, all cars shall immediately reduce speed and proceed slowly
back to the pit lane, and all cars abandoned on the track will be removed to a safe place.
At the end of each practice session no driver may cross the Line more than once.

32) FREE PRACTICE

32.1 One 45 minute free practice session will be arranged on the day before the Sprint race.
An alternative timetable may be arranged for Competitions which do not take place in
conjunction with a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship.
33) QUALIFYING PRACTICE
33.1 One 30 minute qualifying practice session will be arranged on the day before the Sprint race.
33.2 An alternative timetable may be arranged for Competitions which do not take place in
conjunction with a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship.
33.3 In Monaco, two groups will be created (group A and group B); these groups will consist of
those cars with even numbers and those with odd numbers. A ballot to establish the order in
which the two groups will run in the qualifying session will take place on the day of
scrutineering. Group (A) will take part in the first 16 minutes of the qualifying session; Group
(B) will take part in the last 16 minutes of the qualifying session.
33.4 All laps covered during the qualifying practice will be timed to determine the driver’s positions
at the start of the Sprint race and the Feature race.
33.5 Any driver who in the opinion of the Stewards is the sole cause of the issuance of a Red Flag
during the qualifying practice session will not be permitted to take any further part in the
session and their fastest lap time during the session may be deleted.
33.6 Within five (5) hours of the end of the Qualifying practice all cars used during the session (or
which were intended for use but failed to leave the pit lane) must be covered and ready for FIA
seals to be applied in order to ensure that they remain secure until the following day. Failure
to comply with this requirement will be equivalent to a breach of Article 21.6 and failure to
comply with both Articles will be considered as a single breach.

34) GRID – GENERAL

34.1 The driver having pole position will start the race from the position on the grid so designated
by the circuit licence.
34.2 Any driver whose best qualifying lap exceeds 107% of the fastest qualifying time, or who fails
to set a time, will not be allowed to take part in the race. Under exceptional circumstances
however, which may include setting a suitable lap time in a previous free practice session, the
stewards may permit the car to start the race.
Any driver accepted in this manner will be placed at the back of the starting grid after any
other penalties have been applied. Should such a driver also be subject to a further penalty
incurred during the qualifying practice session, the driver will be required to start the race
from pit lane.
Should there be more than one driver accepted in this manner they will be arranged on the
grid in the order they were classified in Free Practice.
If the Qualifying Practice Session is cancelled, the results of Free Practice Session will
determine the driver’s positions at the start of the Sprint race and the Feature race.
If both the Qualifying Practice Session and Free Practice Session are cancelled the classification
to be used shall be the current season Championship standings.
34.3 The provisional starting grid will be published no less than two hours before the start of the
formation lap. Any Competitor whose car(s) is (are) unable to start for any reason whatsoever

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 21/54 V1 14 November 2023

 (or who has good reason to believe that their car(s) will not be ready to start) must inform the
Race Director at the earliest opportunity and, in any event, no later than one hour and fifteen
before the start of the start of the formation lap. If one or more cars are withdrawn the grid
will be closed up accordingly. The final starting grid will be published one hour before the start
of the start of the formation lap.
34.4 The grid will be in a staggered 1 x 1 formation and the rows on the grid will be separated by 16
metres.

35) SPRINT RACE GRID

35.1 The first twelve finishers in the qualifying practice session will start race one in reverse order,
cars finishing in 13th position and downwards will start in their position.
By way of illustration:
Qualifying Session - Driver’s Position Sprint Race - Driver’s Starting Position

2nd 11th
3rd 10th
4th 9th

35.2 An alternative Sprint race grid may be arranged in Monaco. The overall fastest driver from
both groups will start the race from 12h position. The 11th place on the grid will be awarded to
the driver who has achieved the fastest time in the other group and 10th place will be awarded
to the driver who has achieved the second fastest time in the group of the overall fastest
driver, and so on.

By way of illustration:
The Qualifying Group that contains the fastest qualifying car overall shall be the “Pole Group”.
The other group shall be the “Second Group”.

Fastest car from Pole Group 12th
7th fasted car from Pole Group 13th
7th fastest car from the Second Group 14th and so on

Once the grid has been established in this way, grid position penalties will be applied to the
drivers in question in the order the offences were committed.
35.3 Within seven (7) hours of the end of the Sprint Race all cars used during the race (or which
were intended for use but failed to leave the pit lane) must be covered and ready for FIA seals
to be applied in order to ensure that they remain secure until the following day. Failure to
comply with this requirement will be equivalent to a breach of Article 21.6 and failure to
comply with both Articles will be considered as a single breach.

36) FEATURE RACE GRID

36.1 At the end of the qualifying practice session, the fastest time achieved by each driver will be
officially published.
36.2 The grid will be drawn up in the order of the fastest time achieved by each driver during the
qualifying practice session. Should two or more drivers have set identical times, priority will be
given to the one who set it first.
An alternative Feature race grid may be arranged in Monaco. The overall fastest driver from
both groups will start the race from pole position. The second place on the grid will be
awarded to the driver who has achieved the fastest time in the other group and third place will
be awarded to the driver who has achieved the second fastest time in the group of the overall
fastest driver, and so on.
36.3 Starting from a nominally empty grid, drivers will be allocated their grid positions in the
following sequence of steps:
a) Classified drivers who have received grid penalties will be allocated a temporary grid
position equal to their qualifying session classification plus the sum of their grid penalties. If
two or more drivers share a temporary grid position, their relative order will be determined in
accordance with their qualifying session classification, with the slowest driver keeping their
allocated temporary grid position, and the other drivers getting temporary grid positions
immediately ahead of them.
b) Following the allocation of temporary grid positions to penalised drivers in accordance with
(a), unpenalised classified drivers will be allocated any unoccupied grid position, in the
sequence of their qualifying classification.
c) Following the allocation of grid positions to unpenalised classified drivers, penalised drivers
with a temporary grid position, as defined in (a), will be moved up to fill any unoccupied grid
position.
d) Classified drivers who have been penalised to start at the back of the grid, will start behind
any other classified driver. Their relative position will be determined in accordance with their
qualifying session classification.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 23/54 V1 14 November 2023

 e) Unclassified drivers who have been permitted to participate by the Stewards will be
allocated grid positions behind all the classified drivers. Their relative positions will be
determined in accordance with Article 34.2.
f) Disqualified drivers who have been given permission to start will be allocated grid positions
behind all drivers in paragraphs (a) to (e) based on their times set in Free Practice or in the
absence of such in the order that they stand in the championship. Grid penalties will then be
applied.
The above criteria also apply to the Sprint Race grid.

37) STARTING PROCEDURE

37.1 15 minutes before the start of the formation lap the pit exit will be opened and all cars,
including any that are required to start the race from the pit lane, will be permitted to leave
the pit lane to cover maximum of two reconnaissance laps. For clarity a driver must not exit
the pit lane more than two times before the start of the formation lap, this must be done by
driving through the pit lane at greatly reduced speed and within the speed limit, between each
of the laps. At the end of these laps all cars starting the race from the grid should stop on the
grid in starting order with their engines stopped.
Practice pit stops are forbidden whilst the pit lane is open during the start procedure.
Any car which does not complete a reconnaissance lap and reach the grid under its own power
will not be permitted to start the race from the grid.
37.2 12 minutes before the scheduled start of the formation lap, a warning signal will be given
indicating that the end of the pit lane will be closed in two minutes.
10 minutes before the scheduled start of the formation lap the end of the pit lane will be
closed and a second warning signal will be given. Any car which is still in the pit lane can start
from the end of the pit lane provided it arrived there under its own power. If more than one
car is affected they must line up in the order in which they qualified for that race. However,
any car reaching the end of the pit lane after the five-minute signal must start behind any car
already at the pit exit.
All such cars may then join the race once the whole field has passed the end of the pit lane for
the first time after the start.
37.3 The approach of the start will be announced by signals shown ten minutes, five minutes, three
minutes, one-minute and 15 seconds before the start of the formation lap, each of which will
be accompanied by an audible warning.
When the ten-minute signal is shown, everybody except drivers, officials and team technical
staff must leave the grid.
37.4 When the three-minute signal is shown all cars must have their wheels fitted, after this signal
wheels may only be removed in the pit lane.
A penalty under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver whose car did not have all its
wheels fully fitted at the three minute signal.
37.5 When the one-minute signal is shown, engines should be started and all team personnel must
leave the grid by the time the 15-second signal is given taking all equipment with them.
If any team personnel are touching a car or team equipment is connected to a car on the grid
after the fifteen (15) second signal has been shown the driver of the car concerned must start
the race from the pit lane as specified in Article 37.2. A penalty in accordance with Article
39.3d) will be imposed on any driver who fails to start the race from the pit lane.
If any driver needs assistance after the 15-second signal they must raise both arms and, when
the remainder of the cars able to do so have left the grid, marshals will be instructed to push
the car into the pit lane.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 24/54 V1 14 November 2023

 In either of the above cases, marshals with yellow flags will stand beside any car (or cars)
concerned to warn drivers behind.
37.6 When the green lights are illuminated, all cars should begin the formation lap with the pole
position driver leading.
When leaving the grid all drivers must respect the pit lane speed limit until they pass pole
position.
Marshals will be instructed to push any car (or cars) which remain on the grid into the pit lane
by the fastest route immediately after cars able to do so have left the grid. Any driver being
pushed from the grid may not attempt to start the car and must follow the instructions of the
marshals.
Once the last car able to do so has left the grid and passed the pit exit any cars required to
start the race from the pit lane may also join the formation lap.
37.7 During the formation lap practice starts are forbidden and the formation must be kept as tight
as possible.
37.8 Overtaking during the formation lap is only permitted if a car is delayed and cars behind
cannot avoid passing it without unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this case, drivers
may only overtake to re-establish the original starting order. Any driver delayed in this way,
and who is unable to re-establish the original starting order before the driver reaches the first
safety car line, must enter the pit lane and start from the end of the pit lane as specified in
Article 37.2.
A penalty under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver who fails to enter the pit lane if
the driver has not re-established the original starting order before the driver reaches the first
safety car line.
37.9 When the cars come back to the grid at the end of the formation lap (or laps), see Article
37.14, they must stop within their respective starting grid positions, keeping their engines
running.
All cars required to start the race from the pit lane, and who completed a formation lap, must
enter the pit lane at the end of the lap and start from the end of the pit lane as specified in
Article 37.2.
There will be a standing start, the signal being given by means of lights activated by the
permanent starter.
Once all the cars have come to a halt the five second light will appear followed by the four,
three, two and one second lights. At any time after the one-second light appears, the race will
be started by extinguishing all red lights.
37.10 Unless specifically authorised by FIA safety delegate, during the start of a race the pit wall
must be kept free of all persons with the exception of the team personnel permitted under
Article 22.12, officials and fire marshals.
37.11 If, after returning to the starting grid at the end of the formation lap, a problem arises, the
following procedures shall apply :
(a) If a car develops a problem that could endanger the start the driver must immediately
raise their hands above their head and the marshal responsible for that row must
immediately wave a yellow flag.
If the race director decides the start should be aborted the green lights will be
illuminated two seconds after the abort lights are switched on, a board saying “EXTRA
FORMATION LAP” will be displayed and all cars able to do so must complete a further
formation lap whilst the car which developed the problem is moved into the pit lane.
When leaving the grid all drivers must respect the pit lane speed limit until they pass
pole position.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 25/54 V1 14 November 2023

 The Competitor may then attempt to rectify the problem and, if successful, the car may
then start from the end of the pit lane.
Should there be more than one car involved their starting order will be determined by
the order in which they reached the end of the pit lane.
Every time this happens the race will be shortened by one lap.
(b) If another problem arises which does not necessitate a delay to the start (see c) below),
drivers will be asked to carry out an extra formation lap as set out in a) above. Any driver
who caused the start to be aborted, and is then able to start the extra formation lap
must enter the pit lane at the end of the lap and start the race as specified in Article
37.2. A penalty under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver who fails to start the
race from the pit lane.
(c) If any other problem arises, and if the race director decides the start should be delayed,
the following procedures shall apply:
i) If the race has not been started, the abort lights will be switched on, a board
saying “DELAYED START” will be displayed, engines should be stopped and all
Competitors will be informed of the likely delay via the official messaging system.
Once the start time is known at least five minutes warning will be given.
Every time this happens the race will be shortened by one lap.
ii) If the race has been started the marshals alongside the grid will wave their yellow
flags to inform the drivers that a car is stationary on the grid.
iii) If, after the start, a car is immobilised on the starting grid, it shall be the duty of
the marshals to push it into the pit lane by the fastest route. Any driver being
pushed from the grid may not attempt to start the car.
iv) Once the car is in the pit lane the team personnel may attempt to start it, if
successful the driver may re-join the race. The driver and team personnel must
follow the instructions of the track marshals at all times during such a procedure.
37.12 Should Article 37.11 apply, the race will nevertheless count for the Championship no matter
how often the procedure is repeated, or how much the race is shortened as a result.
37.13 One of the penalties under Article 39.3 a), b) or c) will be imposed on any driver who is judged
to have:
a) Moved before the start signal is given, such judgement being made by an FIA approved
and supplied transponder fitted to each car, or;
b) Positioned their car on the starting grid in such a way that the transponder is unable to
detect the moment at which the car first moved from its grid position after the start
signal is given.
c) Any part of the contact patch of its front tyres outside of the lines (front and sides) at
the time of the Start signal.
37.14 Only in the following cases will any variation in the start procedure be allowed:
a) If it starts to rain after the five minute signal but before the race is started and, in the
opinion of the race director, Competitors should be given the opportunity to change
tyres, the abort lights will be shown on the Line and the starting procedure will begin
again at the ten-minute point.
b) If the start of the race is imminent and, in the opinion of the race director, the volume of
water on the track is such that it cannot be negotiated safely even on wet-weather
tyres, the abort lights will be shown on the Line and all Competitors will be informed of
the likely delay via the official messaging system. Once the start time is known at least
ten minutes warning will be given.
c) If track conditions are considered unsuitable to start the race at the scheduled time the
start of the formation lap may take place behind the safety car. If this is the case, at the

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 26/54 V1 14 November 2023

 ten-minute signal, its orange lights will be illuminated, this being the signal to drivers
that the formation lap will be started behind the safety car. At the same time this will be
confirmed to all Competitors via the official messaging system.
When the green lights are illuminated the safety car will leave the grid and all drivers
must follow in grid order no more than ten car lengths apart, and must respect the pit
lane speed limit until they pass pole position. The safety car will continue until
conditions are considered suitable for racing.
Any cars that were starting the race from the pit lane may join the formation lap once
the whole field has passed the end of the pit lane for the first time. Any such cars may
complete all formation laps but must enter the pit lane after the safety car returns to
the pits and start the race from the end of the pit lane in the order they get there.
Any other car entering the pit lane during the formation laps may re-join the track but
must enter the pit lane after the safety car returns to the pits and start the race from the
end of the pit lane in the order they get there.
A penalty under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver whose tyre(s) are changed
for a different specification before safety car orange lights are extinguished and it
returns to the pits.
Overtaking during the lap(s) behind the safety car is only permitted under the following
circumstances :
i) If a car is delayed when leaving the grid and cars behind cannot avoid passing it
without unduly delaying the remainder of the field, or
ii) If there is more than one car starting from the pit lane and one of them is unduly
delayed.
In either case drivers may only overtake to re-establish the original starting order or the
order the cars at the pit exit were in when the formation lap was started.
Any driver delayed in either way, and who is unable to re-establish the original starting
order before the driver reaches the first safety car line on the lap the safety car returns
to the pits, must enter the pit lane and may only join the race once the whole field has
passed the end of the pit lane after the start of the race.
A penalty under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver who fails to enter the pit
lane if the driver has not re-established the original starting order before the driver
reaches the first safety car line on the lap the safety car returns to the pits.
d) When the Race Director decides it is safe to call in the safety car a message “STANDING
START” will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system, all FIA light
panels will display “SS” and the safety car's orange lights will be extinguished. This will
be the signal to the Competitors and drivers that it will be entering the pit lane at the
end of that lap.
At this point the first car in line behind the Safety car may dictate the pace and, if
necessary, fall more than ten car lengths behind it.
Once the safety car has entered the pit lane all cars, with the exception of those
required to start from the pit lane, can return to the grid, take up their grid positions
and follow the procedures set out in Article 37.9 to 37.13.
e) If, after one or more formation laps behind the safety car, track conditions are
considered unsuitable to start the race from a standing start, the message “ROLLING
START” will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system, all FIA light
panels will display “RS” and the Safety car's orange lights will be extinguished. This will
be the signal to the Competitors and drivers that it will be entering the pit lane at the
end of that lap.
At this point the first car in line behind the safety car may dictate the pace and, if
necessary, fall more than ten car lengths behind it.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 27/54 V1 14 November 2023

 As the safety car is approaching the pit entry the FIA light panels will be extinguished
and replaced by waved green flags with green lights at the Line.
No driver may overtake another car on the track until they passes the Line (see Article
5.3) for the first time after the safety car has returned to the pits.
f) The race will be deemed to have started when the leading car crosses the Line after the
safety car has returned to the pits.
g) If, after one or more formation laps behind the safety car, track conditions are
considered unsuitable to start the race, the message “START PROCEDURE SUSPENDED”
will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system and all cars must enter
the pit lane behind the safety car. The procedures described in Articles 42 and 43 must
then be followed and there will be no standing start.
h) An alternative start light system may be used at Competitions which do not take place in
conjunction with a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship.
38) THE RACES
38.1 Sprint race will take place on Saturday, subject to the approval of the relevant organiser and
ASN.
38.2 A race will not be stopped in the event of rain unless the circuit is blocked or it is dangerous to
continue (see Article 42).
38.3 If a car stops during a race it must be removed from the track as quickly as possible so that its
presence does not constitute a danger or hinder other Competitors. If the driver is unable to
drive the car it shall be the duty of the marshals to assist them.
38.4 During the race, drivers leaving the pit lane may only do so when the light at the end of the pit
lane is green and under their own responsibility. A marshal with a blue flag and/or a flashing
blue light, will also warn the driver if cars are approaching on the track.
38.5 During the race a driver entering the pit lane must stop in their designated garage area. During
any such pit stop :
a) No more than six people may work on the car, plus one person assigned specifically to
stop and release the car, all of which must wear head protection and eye protection.
b) Pit gantries are not permitted. Other than equipment for servicing the car (such as
wheel fastening devices and jacks) the only equipment permitted in the designated area
to aid the arrival and release of the car are; a hand held board (to aid the driver to
position the car) with or without a light array (to notify the driver of the status of the pit
stop), a hand-held button (for the person assigned specifically to pit lane traffic spotting
to stop and release the car) and any video cameras used to record the pit stop.
Devices used for fitting or removing wheel fasteners that are powered by compressed
air or nitrogen must be kept adjacent to the designated pit stop area on the opposite
side to the fast lane when they are not in use during any session, sprint race or feature
race. They may only be placed adjacent to the pit stop area on the side next to the fast
lane when they are required for the sole purpose specified in Article 12.8 of the
Technical Regulations.
Connections between the principal elements of the pit stop equipment operated by a
Competitor are forbidden. For the avoidance of doubt, each wheel gun, each jack and
any release system must all be operated autonomously of each other.
A jack must be manually operated. No autonomous, robotic, or similar system are
permitted.
All pit stop equipment must be approved by the FIA before use at a Competition.
c) Each jack must always be attended while in use.
38.6 Articles 38.2 to 38.5 will also apply to the Feature race.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 28/54 V1 14 November 2023

38.7 Feature race will take place on Sunday, subject to the approval of the relevant organiser and
ASN.
38.8 Unless a precautionary tyre change is necessary for clear and genuine safety reasons, or a
change of climatic conditions necessitates the use of a different specification of tyre, only a
punctured or damaged tyre may be changed after a car leaves the pit lane for the first time.

39) INCIDENTS DURING A RACE

39.1 The race director may report any on-track incident or suspected breach of these Sporting
Regulations or the Code (an “Incident”) to the stewards. After review it shall be at the
discretion of the stewards to decide whether or not to proceed with an investigation.
The stewards may also investigate an Incident noted by themselves.
39.2 a) It shall be at the discretion of the stewards to decide if any driver involved in an incident
should be penalised.
Unless it is clear to the stewards that a driver was wholly or predominantly to blame for
an Incident no penalty will be imposed.
b) If an incident is under investigation by the stewards, a message informing all
Competitors which driver or drivers are involved will be sent via the official messaging
system.
Provided that such a message is displayed no later than 60 minutes after the race has
finished, the driver or drivers concerned may not leave the circuit without the consent
of the stewards.
39.3 The stewards may impose any one of the penalties below on any driver involved in an incident:
a) A five-second time penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop in their pit stop
position for at least five seconds and then re-join the race. The relevant driver may
however elect not to stop, provided the driver carries out no further pit stop before the
end of the race. In such cases five seconds will be added to the elapsed race time of the
driver concerned.
b) A ten-second time penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop in their pit stop
position for at least ten seconds and then re-join the race. The relevant driver may
however elect not to stop, provided the driver carries out no further pit stop before the
end of the race. In such cases ten seconds will be added to the elapsed race time of the
driver concerned.
In both of the above cases the driver concerned must carry out the penalty the next
time the driver enters the pit lane and, for the avoidance of doubt, this includes any stop
the driver makes whilst a VSC or safety car procedure is in use.
c) A drive-through penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane and re-join the race without
stopping.
d) A ten-second stop-and-go time penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop in their
pit stop position for at least ten seconds and then re-join the race.
If any of the four penalties above are imposed upon a driver, and that driver is unable to serve
the penalty due to retirement from the race, the stewards may impose a grid place penalty on
the driver at his next Race.
If any of the four penalties above are imposed during the last three laps, or after the end of a
race, Article 39.4 b) below will not apply and five seconds will be added to the elapsed race
time of the driver concerned in the case of (a) above, 10 seconds in the case of (b), 20 seconds
in case of (c), and 30 seconds in the case of (d).
e) A time penalty.
f) A reprimand.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 29/54 V1 14 November 2023

 g) A drop of any number of grid positions.
h) Deletion of a driver’s lap time or times.
If any of the eight penalties above are imposed they shall not be subject to appeal.
i) Disqualification from the results.
j) Suspension from the driver’s next race or Competition.
With the exception of a reprimand or fine, when a penalty is applied under the International
Sporting Code or Article 39.3 the stewards may impose penalty points on a driver. If a driver
accrues 12 penalty points during a free practice or qualifying practice, the driver will be
suspended for the remainder of the Competition. If a driver accrues 12 penalty points in a
race, the driver will be suspended for the following Competition. After the suspension has
been issued, 12 points will be removed.
Penalty points will remain on a driver’s record until the end of the season after which they will
be removed.
39.4 Should the stewards decide to impose either of the penalties under Article 39.3 (a), (b), (c) or
(d) the following procedure will be followed:
a) The stewards will give written notification of the penalty which has been imposed to the
Competitor concerned and will inform all Competitors via the official messaging system.
b) With the exception of Articles 39.3 (a) and (b) above, from the time the Competitor
concerned is notified of the steward’s decision via the official messaging system the
relevant driver may cross the Line on the track no more than twice before entering the
pit lane and, in the case of a penalty under Article 39.3 (d), proceed to their pit stop
position where the driver shall remain for the period of the time penalty.
However, unless the driver was already in the pit entry for the purpose of serving their
penalty, the driver may not carry out the penalty if the VSC procedure is in use or after
the Safety Car has been deployed. The number of times the driver crosses the Line
behind the safety car or during the VSC procedure will be added to the maximum
number of times the driver may cross the Line on the track.
c) Whilst a car is stationary in the pit lane as a result of incurring a time penalty under
Articles 39.3 (a) or (b) above it may not be worked on until the car has been stationary
for the duration of the penalty.
d) Whilst a car is stationary in the pit lane as a result of incurring a time penalty under
Articles 39.3 (d) above it may not be worked on. However, if the engine stops any work
necessary to re-start it may be carried out after the time penalty period has elapsed.
e) Any breach or failure to comply with Articles 39.4 (b), (c) or (d) may result in the car
being disqualified.

40) SAFETY CAR

40.1 The FIA safety car will be driven by an FIA appointed safety car driver and will carry a FIA F3
safety car observer capable of recognising all the competing cars, and who is in permanent
radio contact with race control.
40.2 20 minutes before the start of the formation lap the safety car will leave the pit lane and take
up position at the front of the grid and remain there until the five-minute signal is given. At
this point (except under Article 37.14) it will cover a whole lap of the circuit and take up
position.
40.3 The safety car may be brought into operation to neutralise a race upon the order of the Race
Director.
It will be used only if Competitors or officials are in immediate physical danger on or near the
track but the circumstances are not such as to necessitate suspending the race.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 30/54 V1 14 November 2023

40.4 When the order is given to deploy the safety car the message "SAFETY CAR DEPLOYED" will be
sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system, all FIA light panels will display “SC”
and all marshal's posts will display waved yellow flags and "SC" boards for the duration of the
intervention.
40.5 No car may be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed
potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person at any time whilst the safety car is
deployed. This will apply whether any such car is being driven on the track, the pit entry or the
pit lane.
40.6 The safety car will join the track with its orange lights illuminated and will do so regardless of
where the race leader is.
40.7 All the competing cars must reduce speed and form up in line behind the safety car no more
than ten car lengths apart. In order to ensure that drivers reduce speed sufficiently, from the
time at which all Competitors have been sent the “SAFETY CAR DEPLOYED” message via the
official messaging system until the time that each car crosses the first safety car line for the
second time or until the message “SAFETY CAR IN THIS LAP” is sent via the official messaging
system, drivers must stay above the minimum time set by the ECU at least once in each
marshalling sector and at both the first and second safety car lines (a marshalling sector is
defined as the section of track between each of the FIA light panels).
The stewards may impose either of the penalties under Article 39.3a), b), c) or d) on any driver
who fails to stay above the minimum time as required by the above.
40.8 With the exception of the cases listed under a) to h) below, no driver may overtake another
car on the track, including the safety car, until the driver passes the Line (see Article 5.3) for
the first time after the safety car has returned to the pits.
The exceptions are:
a) If a driver is signalled to do so from the safety car.
b) Under Articles 37.14 and 40.12 below.
c) When entering the pits a driver may pass another car remaining on the track, including
the safety car, after the driver has reached the first safety car line.
d) When leaving the pits a driver may overtake, or be overtaken by another car on the
track before the driver reaches the second safety car line.
e) When the safety car is returning to the pits it may be overtaken by cars on the track
once it has reached the first safety car line.
f) Whilst in the pit entry, pit lane or pit exit a driver may overtake another car which is also
in one of these three areas.
g) Any car stopping in its designated garage area whilst the safety car is using the pit lane
(see 40.11 below) may be overtaken.
h) If any car slows with an obvious problem.
40.9 When ordered to do so by the Race Director, the observer in the safety car will use a green
light to signal to any cars between it and the race leader that they should pass. These cars will
continue at reduced speed and without overtaking until they reach the line of cars behind the
safety car.
40.10 Except under 40.12 below, the safety car shall be used at least until the leader is behind it and
all remaining cars are lined up behind them.
Once behind the safety car, the race leader must keep within ten car lengths of it (except
under 40.13 below).
40.11 Under certain circumstances the Race Director may ask the cars and the safety car to use the
pit lane. In these cases, a signal to use the pit lane will be displayed before the start of the pit
entry and all Competitors will be informed via the official messaging system, all cars must then
enter the pit lane, drive through it and re-join the track. Any car entering the pit lane under

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 31/54 V1 14 November 2023

 these circumstances may however stop at its designated garage area. A penalty under Article
39.3(c) will be imposed on any driver who fails to enter the pit lane when required to do so.
Other than when the cars and the safety car are required to use the pit lane, no car may enter
the pits whilst the safety car is deployed unless it is for the purpose of changing damaged
tyres, or a change of climatic conditions necessitates the use of a different specification of tyre
or repairing a genuine accident damage.
40.12 If the Race Director of the course considers it safe to do so, and the message "LAPPED CARS
MAY NOW OVERTAKE" has been sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system, any
cars that have been lapped by the leader will be required to pass the cars on the lead lap and
the safety car. This will only apply to cars that were lapped at the time they crossed the Line at
the end of the lap during which they crossed the first Safety Car line for the second time after
the safety car was deployed.
Having overtaken the cars on the lead lap and the safety car these cars should then proceed
around the track at an appropriate speed, without overtaking, and make every effort to take
up position at the back of the line of cars behind the safety car. Whilst they are overtaking, and
in order to ensure this may be carried out safely, the cars on the lead lap must always stay on
the racing line unless deviating from it is unavoidable. Unless the Race Director considers the
presence of the safety car is still necessary, once the last lapped car has passed the leader the
safety car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap.
If the Race Director considers track conditions are unsuitable for overtaking the message
"OVERTAKING WILL NOT BE PERMITTED" will be sent to all Competitors via the official
messaging system.
40.13 When the Race Director decides it is safe to call in the safety car, the message "SAFETY CAR IN
THIS LAP" will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system and the car’s orange
lights will be extinguished. This will be the signal to the Competitors and drivers that it will be
entering the pit lane at the end of that lap.
At this point the first car in line behind the safety car may dictate the pace and, if necessary,
fall more than ten car lengths behind it.
In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the safety car returns to the pits, from the
point at which the lights on the car are turned out drivers must proceed at a pace which
involves no erratic acceleration or braking nor any other manoeuvre which is likely to
endanger other drivers or impede the restart.
As the safety car is approaching the pit entry the “SC” boards will be withdrawn and, other
than on the last lap of the race, as the leader approaches the Line the yellow flags will be
withdrawn and a green flag will be displayed at the Line.
40.14 Each lap completed while the safety car is deployed will be counted as a race lap except the
first lap when the procedure set out in 37.14 is followed (see also Article 5.3).
40.15 If the safety car is still deployed at the beginning of the last lap, or is deployed during the last
lap, it will enter the pit lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the end-of-race
signal as normal without overtaking.

41) VIRTUAL SAFETY CAR (VSC)

41.1 The VSC procedure may be initiated to neutralise a practice session or a race upon the order
of the clerk of the course.
It will normally be used when double waved yellow flags are needed on any section of track
and Competitors or officials may be in danger, but the circumstances are not such as to
warrant use of the safety car itself.
41.2 When the order is given to initiate the VSC procedure a message "VSC DEPLOYED" will be
sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system and the FIA light panels will
display “VSC”.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 32/54 V1 14 November 2023

41.3 No car may be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed
potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person at any time whilst the VSC
procedure is in use. This will apply whether any such car is being driven on the track, the pit
entry or the pit lane.
41.4 When initiated during a race, no car may enter the pits whilst the VSC procedure is in use
unless it is for the purpose of changing damaged tyres, or a change of climatic conditions
necessitates the use of a different specification of tyre or repairing a genuine accident damage.
41.5 All competing cars must reduce speed and stay above the minimum time set by the ECU at
least once in each marshalling sector and at both the first and second safety car lines (a
marshalling sector is defined as the section of track between each of the FIA light panels).
All cars must also be above this minimum time when the FIA light panels change to green (see
Article 41.7 below).
When initiated during a race, the stewards may impose either of the penalties under Article
39.3a), b), c) or d) on any driver who, in their view, failed to comply as required by the above.
41.6 With the exception of the cases listed under a) to d) below, no driver may overtake another
car on the track whilst the VSC procedure is in use.
The exceptions are:
a) When entering the pits a driver may pass another car remaining on the track after
the driver has reached the first safety car line.
b) When leaving the pits a driver may overtake, or be overtaken by, another car on the
track before the driver reaches the second safety car line.
c) Whilst in the pit entry, pit lane or pit exit a driver may overtake another car which is
also in one of these three areas.
d) If any car slows with an obvious problem.
41.7 When the Race Director decides it is safe to end the VSC procedure the message "VSC
ENDING" will be sent to all Competitors via the official messaging system and, at any time
between 10 and 15 seconds later, “VSC” on the FIA light panels will change to green, and
drivers may continue the session or continue racing immediately. After 30 seconds the green
lights will be extinguished.
41.8 Each lap completed whist the VSC procedure is in use during a race will be counted as a race
lap.

42) SUSPENDING A RACE

42.1 If Competitors or officials are placed in immediate physical danger by cars running on the
track, and the Race Director deems circumstances are such that the track cannot be negotiated
safely, even behind the safety car, the race will be suspended.
Should it become necessary to suspend the race, the Race Director will order red flags to be
shown at all marshal posts and the abort lights to be shown at the Line.
42.2 When the signal is given overtaking is forbidden, the pit exit will be closed and all cars must
proceed slowly into the pit lane. The first car to arrive in the pit lane should proceed directly to
the pit exit staying in the fast lane, all the other cars should form up in a line behind the first
car.
42.3 Any cars unable to return to the pit lane as a result of the track being blocked will be brought
back when the track is cleared and will be arranged in the order they occupied before the race
was suspended.
Additionally, any cars in the pit lane or pit entry at the time the race was suspended will be
arranged in the order they occupied before the race was suspended.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 33/54 V1 14 November 2023

 In all cases the order will be taken at the last point at which it was possible to determine the
position of all cars. All such cars will then be permitted to resume the race.
The safety car will then be driven to the front of the line of cars in the fast lane.
42.4 Whilst the race is suspended:
a) Neither the race nor the timekeeping system will stop.
b) Cars may be worked on once they have stopped in the fast lane but any such work is
restricted to that listed in i) to x) below and must not impede the resumption of the
race.
i) Starting the engine and any directly associated preparation.
ii) The fitting or removal of permitted cooling and heating devices.
iii) Changes to the air ducts around the front and rear brakes.
iv) Changes to the radiator ducts.
v) Changes made for driver comfort.
vi) Changing damaged wheels and tyres or a change of climatic conditions
necessitates the use of a different specification of tyre.
vii) Repair of genuine accident damage, including the replacement of assemblies
containing such damaged parts.
viii) The aerodynamic set up of the front and rear wing may be adjusted using the
existing parts. No parts may be added, removed or replaced.
ix) Connecting laptops to the car for the purpose of downloading data
x) Checking and adjusting tyre pressures
c) Only team members, officials and duly accredited television cameramen will be
permitted in the pit lane.
42.5 Unless asked to do so by officials, cars may not be moved from the fast lane whilst the race is
suspended. Any driver whose car is moved from the fast lane to any other part of the pit lane
will be arranged at the back of the line of cars in the fast lane in the order they got there. Any
such cars will be permitted to leave the pit lane when the race is resumed but must re-enter
the pit lane when the safety car returns and may join the race once the last car has passed the
pit exit after the re-start. At all times drivers must follow the directions of the marshals.

43) RESUMING A RACE

43.1 The delay will be kept as short as possible and as soon as a resumption time is known
Competitors will be informed via the official messaging system, in all cases at least ten minutes
warning will be given.
If the race is being resumed in wet conditions and the Race Director deems more than one lap
necessary, in which case the use of wet-weather tyres as specified under Article 24.15 is
compulsory. If this is the case, at the ten (10) minute signal the orange lights of the safety car
will be illuminated. At the same time this will be confirmed to all Competitors using the official
messaging system.
43.2 Signals will be shown ten minutes, five minutes, three minutes, one minute and fifteen
seconds before the resumption and each of these will be accompanied by an audible warning.
43.3 When the three-minute signal is shown all cars must have their wheels fitted, after this signal
wheels may only be removed if the car has been moved out of the fast lane or during a further
race suspension.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 34/54 V1 14 November 2023

 A penalty under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver whose car did not have all its
wheels fully fitted at the three minute signal or has any of its wheels changed before it leaves
the pit lane after the race has been resumed.
43.4 At the two minute point, any cars between the safety car and the leader, in addition to any
cars that had been lapped by the leader at the time the race was suspended, will be allowed to
leave the pit lane and complete a further lap, without overtaking, enter the pit lane and then
join the line of cars behind the safety car.
43.5 When the one-minute signal is shown, engines should be started and all team personnel must
leave the fast lane by the time the 15-second signal is given taking all equipment with them.
If any team personnel are touching a car or team equipment is connected to a car on the pit
lane after the fifteen (15) second signal has been shown the driver of the car concerned must
start the race from the pit lane as specified in Article 37.2. A penalty in accordance with Article
39.3d) will be imposed on any driver who fails to start the race from the pit lane.
If any driver needs assistance after the 15-second signal the driver must raise their arm and,
when the remainder of the cars able to do so have left the pit lane, marshals will be instructed
to push the car into the slow lane. In this case, marshals with yellow flags will stand beside any
car concerned to warn drivers behind. Drivers may leave the fast lane in order to pass any car
unable to leave the pit lane.
43.6 Overtaking behind the safety car is only permitted in the following cases:
a) Drivers may leave the fast lane in order to overtake any car delayed when leaving its
position in the fast lane.
b) Any driver who is delayed when leaving their position in the fast lane may overtake to
re-establish their original starting position provided the driver does so before the driver
crosses the first safety car line. Should the driver fail to do so the driver must re-enter
the pit lane and may only re-join the race once the whole field has passed the pit exit.
A penalty under Article 39.3(d) will be imposed on any driver who fails to re-enter the
pit lane if the driver has not re-established the original starting order before the driver
reaches the first safety car line.
43.7 The race will be resumed behind the safety car when the green lights are illuminated and
leaves the pit lane. Drivers must follow the safety car no more than ten car lengths apart.
43.8 Either of the penalties under Article 39.3c) or d) will be imposed on any driver who, in the
opinion of the Stewards, unnecessarily overtook another car during the lap.
During this lap Articles 37.14, 40.13, 40.14 and 40.15 will apply.
43.9 The safety car will enter the pits after one lap unless:
a) All cars are not yet in a line behind the safety car.
b) A further incident occurs necessitating another intervention.
43.10 If the race cannot be resumed the results will be taken at the end of the penultimate lap
before the lap during which the signal to suspend the race was given.

44) FINISH
44.1 A chequered flag will be the end-of-race signal and will be shown at the Line as soon as the
leading car has covered the full race distance in accordance with Article 5.3.
44.2 Should for any reason the end-of-race signal be given before the leading car completes the
scheduled number of laps, or the prescribed time has been completed, the race will be
deemed to have finished when the leading car last crossed the Line before the signal was
given.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 35/54 V1 14 November 2023

 Should the end-of- race signal be delayed for any reason, the race will be deemed to have
finished when it should have finished.
44.3 After receiving the end-of-race signal all cars must proceed on the circuit directly to the parc
fermé without any unnecessary delay, without receiving any object whatsoever and without
any assistance (except that of the marshals if necessary).
Any classified car which cannot reach the parc fermé under its own power will be placed under
the exclusive control of the marshals who will take the car to the parc fermé.

45) POST QUALIFYING AND POST RACE PARC FERME

45.1 Only those officials charged with supervision may enter the parc fermé. No intervention of any
kind is allowed there unless authorised by such officials.
45.2 When the parc fermé is in use, parc fermé regulations will apply in the area between the Line
and the parc fermé entrance.
45.3 The parc fermé shall be secured such that no unauthorised persons can gain access to it.

46) CLASSIFICATION
46.1 The car placed first will be the one having covered the scheduled distance in the shortest time,
or crossed the Line in the lead at the end of the maximum time allowed for each race. All cars
will be classified taking into account the number of complete laps they have covered, and for
those which have completed the same number of laps, the order in which they crossed the
Line.
46.2 Cars having covered less than 90% of the number of laps covered by the winner (rounded
down to the nearest whole number of laps), will not be classified.
46.3 The official classification will be published after each race. It will be the only valid result subject
to any amendments which may be made under the Code and these Sporting Regulations.

47) PODIUM CEREMONY

47.1 The drivers finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions in all races must attend the prize-giving
ceremony on the podium and abide by the podium procedure set out in Appendix 2.

 APPENDIX 2

PODIUM PROCEDURE
1) INTRODUCTION
This procedure has been developed in order to ensure the dignity of the Championship, while
at the same time providing the television and press with the best possible working conditions.
It reflects the experience of the Organisers, Promoters and Media.
2) PODIUM PRESENTATION
For the Prize Giving Ceremony, it is essential that the podium arrangements are good. The best
results are obtained when the podium is directly accessible from the parc fermé, with steps at
one side.
A white background and a floor of the same colour make a considerable improvement to the
visual aspect of the podium and provide good lighting conditions for the photographers.
The Promoters should see to it that the title "FIA Formula 3 Championship" appears at the top
of the backboard, followed by the name of the Circuit.
A specimen plan of the podium layout can be obtained, on request, from the FIA or Formula
One Management Limited. Three poles of equal height will be placed at the rear of the podium
for the raising of the national flags of the drivers finishing in the first three places.
3) PARTICIPANTS
Three trophies will be presented at each race counting for the FIA Formula 3 Championship.
They are awarded to:
- The winning driver
- The driver who finished second
- The driver who finished third
No more than three acceptable personalities, one for each trophy, should be called upon to be
present on the podium.
The Promoter must make sure that the personalities presenting the trophies arrive at the foot
of the steps leading to the podium at least 5 minutes before the end of the race. The official in
charge of the podium will explain the ceremony and, in particular, the order in which the
trophies are to be presented.
The personalities will mount the podium before the arrival of the drivers to wait for them
there.
The Promoters must also, with the help of the Organisers, ensure that the drivers arrive at the
podium immediately after the chequered flag.
4) ON THE PODIUM
The following objects must be placed on the podium at least 15 minutes before the end of the
race:
- Trophies
- Champagne, prepared for the ceremony
- Bottled drinking water
The drivers must wear their normal overalls.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 39/54 V1 14 November 2023

 Under no circumstances may laurel wreaths or other such gifts be presented or awarded on
the podium. It is the Promoters' duty to see to it that the advertising arrangements are
respected and that any person wearing unauthorised commercial brand names is denied
access to the podium.
5) PRESENTATION OF TROPHIES
The following is a standard procedure for all events of the FIA Formula 3 Championship:
5.1 National anthems and flags:
As soon as they arrive on the podium, the three drivers who finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the
race will climb onto their respective steps.
The national anthem of the winning driver will be played immediately.
The three drivers' national flags will be raised simultaneously on the poles placed at the rear of
the podium, the national flag of the winning driver being in the centre, the national flag of the
second placed driver on the same side as the step on which this driver is standing, and the
national flag of the third placed driver on the same side as the step on which this driver is
standing. These flags will remain in place throughout the ceremony.
5.2 Trophies:
Once the national anthem has been played, the trophies will be presented in the following
order:
- Winning driver
- Driver who finished second
- Driver who finished third
5.3 Champagne:
The person in charge of the podium must ensure that the personalities move aside after
presenting the trophies, in order to enable the drivers to celebrate their victory with the
traditional champagne-spraying.
6) WINNER'S PRESS CONFERENCE
Immediately after the podium ceremony, the drivers finishing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd places must
go to the location designated for the Press Conference and any unilateral television interview,
if applicable.
A person will be appointed who, with the help of the Promoters, will be responsible for this
operation which must be carried out without the slightest delay.
7) CHECKLIST
The following is a brief checklist intended to help the Promoters and Organisers to respect this
standard procedure.
Who is responsible?
An Official nominated by the Promoter must be appointed for the entire podium procedure.
They must co-ordinate this procedure with the television producer, the people in charge of
safety in the podium area, and all the other persons involved in the ceremony.

2024 Formula 3 Sporting Regulations 40/54 V1 14 November 2023

 Anthems and flags
On race day, check that the national flags are in good order, that the national anthems are
available and easily identifiable and that it is possible for the persons responsible for the flags
and anthems to know the nationality of the drivers involved in the ceremony.
Champagne and water
It must be ensured that bottled drinking water is available for the drivers before they arrive on
the podium and that the champagne is ready to be used in accordance with the procedure.
Trophies
There have been many cases in which glass trophies have been broken on the podium, or
where elderly persons have had trouble lifting trophies which were too heavy, etc.
Choose objects which are pleasing to the eye and light enough to be handled on the podium.
Briefing of personalities
It is imperative that all the personalities taking part in the presentation of the trophies should
be informed in detail about the running of the ceremony, and in particular about the place
where they should stand on the podium which will be marked on the ground, in order to
enable television crews to work in the best possible conditions.
Safety
It is necessary to organise swift access to the podium and then to the Press Conference.

PART 1

FIA FORMULA 3 CHAMPIONSHIP DRIVERS DEED

I, [FULL NAME………………………] of [FULL ADDRESS………………………………………]

being over the age of……, confirm and agree as follows:

Background facts

1. I am contracted to drive for the [Team……………………] Team (“[insert Team name short form if
desired]”………………………) in the [races (the Races) [and tests (the Tests) [delete as appropriate]
forming part of the FIA Formula 3 Championship (the Championship) to be held during 2024, for good
consideration from [Team……………….].

2. Prior to driving at a Race and/or Test I shall obtain such competition licences, permits and/or consents
