Vehicles of the construction years 1999 to 2006 are admitted. Once more the arrangement BERU Top 10 forms the base for the RECARO formula 3 cup. The formula 3 vehicles may be equipped with maximum four cylinders. The cubic capacity upper limit is at 2,000 cubic centimetres. The whole package may not exceed a value of 550 kilograms.

Springboard of the stars
The formula 3 writes a unique history in Germany. Since the foundation of the formula 3 union in 1975, the formula-racing series is announced incessantly. For this reason it is the most continual national series and at the same time school of the Grand Prix stars. Michael Schumacher laid the foundation-stone in 1990 for his later Formula-one career. Nick Heidfeld was just 20 years and 148 days old, when he won the title in the formula 3 mastery in 1997 and also Jarno Trulli rejoiced in 1996, "Now I own the credit card for the formula 1", when he got 22-year-old the championship title in the International German formula 3 mastery.
Times are changing
"Our mastery has completely changed", judged Bertram Schäfer in the 25 jubilee year of the German formula 3 mastery. "At that time, in 1975 one only built up his own life, learned a profession, earned his own money to pursue motor sport with it then." Sponsors were nearly unknown. ´We were autonomous`, often was the motto - not only on the track. An example is première winner Ernst Maring, who gained one victory after the other with the self-constructed Maco, joined together from the first letters of Maring Construction and an amount of pioneering spirit. 23 of these Maco were built, everything after the end of work. From Monday morning to Friday evening Maring earns, in the end, his money in his own autoshop.
The little difference
In 2006 the RECARO formula 3 cup graduates his most successful season up to now. Above all the licensing of the most topical formula 3 vehicles of the construction years 2005 and 2006 bumps into positive resonance. Now the formula 3 mastery offers everything: reasonable motor sport by vehicles of the construction years 1999 to 2001, actual formula 3 entrance with Monoposti of the construction years 2002 to 2004 and the best promotion prospects by racer of the construction years 2005 and 2006.The course of time
