Formula European Masters canceled

After the replacement of the GP3 Series by the F3, the European series which was contested on the sidelines of the races DTM tried to survive by moving from the F3 European Championship to the Formula European Masters name. Alas, due to lack of commitments, the organizers had to cancel the 2019 season.

“It’s a very sad day for young European drivers, comments Walter Mertes, director of Formel 3 Vermarktungs GmbH. In the tough competitive environment in Europe, there are simply not enough drivers for the different series. It would have required enormous expenditure to compensate for this situation. We could not and did not want to demand this from the teams. »

While the first pre-season tests were scheduled for Misano (Italy) next week, only six drivers had been confirmed. The first meeting was scheduled for the first weekend in May at Hockenheim.
