- Technical Excellence: Our main asset is our people. Our team of engineers and technicians has been selected having extensive experience in Motor Sport and at the highest level (including Formula1).

European F3 Championship
The European F3 Open Championship (formerly the Spanish Formula Three Championship) is a junior formula racing series. It is an important championship in Europe that is viewed by many as a “career ladder” to Formula One.
The championship's first season was held in 2001. In recent years the Championship has become less centered in Spain, with races
across Europe, and has successfully attracted famous non-Spanish teams to take part.
In 2012, with 16 races to be held on 8 renowned European tracks, the European F3 Open is set to be the most recognized Formula 3 championship in all of Europe.
