AU3 Championship
single-seater racing championship
The AU3 Championship is a planned Australian motor racing series using Formula Regional cars.
Background
The new series was announced (originally titled Formula Regional Australia) in November 2024 for the 2025 season. The new name was announced by the organisers in February 2025. The name aligns with the recent name change of the AU4 Australian Championship.
It will be sanctioned by Motorsport Australia and is promoted by Tim Macrow, the organiser of Australian Formula Open, another Australian open-wheel racing series using older Formula 3 and Formula 4 cars.
The series will use the Tatuus FT-60 cars currently used for the Formula Regional Oceania Championship, which is based in New Zealand and runs in the southern hemisphere summer, leaving them available for use much of the year. However, additional entries using cars sourced from elsewhere using the Alfa Romeo FR engine commonly used throughout Asian FR series will be permitted, along with an Invitational class using older Formula Regional vehicles
It was announced the 2025 season would be cancelled and a new debut season planned for 2026.

Why this record matters
“AU3 Championship” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Championship, single-seater and racing provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131418154. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2025 and 2026.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
