FIA Formula 3 European was a European single-seater championship that no longer runs. It fielded cars in sprint racing, drawing drivers from the Formula Renault Eurocup and Formula 4 ranks and feeding them most often into Formula 2, WEC and IMSA WeatherTech. The series maintained a professional roster with a substantial cohort of Platinum and Gold graded drivers; its median calibre sat just below Formula 2 and well above its immediate feeder series, positioning it as a clear stepping stone toward the top of international motorsport. Drivers such as Lando Norris, Alex Palou and Zhou Guanyu competed in the field during its operation. The championship drew most of its field from the lower single-seater formulae and served as the primary intermediate rung between Formula 4 and the professional sportscar championships.
