Dallara F3 2019
The Dallara F3 2019 was an open-wheel racing car developed by Italian manufacturer Dallara for use in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, a feeder series for Formula One. The F3 2019 was the first car used by the FIA Formula 3 Championship and was introduced for the championship's inaugural season and was used until the 2024 season before being replaced by planned Dallara F3 2025 from 2025 season onwards. As the Formula 3 Championship is a spec series, the F3 2019 raced by every team and driver competing in the series. The F3 2019 was unveiled at the weekend of the final GP3 Series round in Abu Dhabi in November 2018 and later made its first public appearance when teams contesting the inaugural championship completed a test day at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours in February 2019.
As of 2025, the Dallara F3 2019 remains the longest-serving FIA Formula 3 Championship chassis usage since 2019 through 2024 seasons.
Design
Chassis
The chassis is largely identical to the GP3/16 chassis but with a few tweaks as a major facelift and more longer length than GP3/16. Modifications to the chassis include a new front end with a range of suspension setup possibilities and anti-intrusion side panels as part of a push to improve safety.The chassis also features the "halo" cockpit protection device, a wishbone-shaped frame mounted to the monocoque designed to deflect debris away from a driver's head in the case of an accident.
The rear wing still incorporates the Drag Reduction Systems rear wing flap in a purpose for overtaking maneuver assist.
