The 2019 FIA Formula 3 Eurasian Championship season was the second season of the Formula 3 Eurasian Championship. Champions Nebula Grand Prix and Ricardo Velázquez elected not to return to defend their titles - Velázquez moved up to AutoReject 3.5, and Nebula was amongst many primarily AutoReject based teams that decided to no longer compete in the category due to the FIA sanctioning. Of the teams that competed in 2018, only one - Scuderia Adriatica - would return to compete under the same ownership, and even that was under the Williams Junior Team banner.
Despite leaving the series as an entrant in their own right, Jones Racing Group continued to provide Jones 108 chassis to the series. These were still partnered by Holden LSF3-18 engines, but both chassis and engine would be replaced in 2020 to start a new chassis cycle.
The 2019 season would also prove to be the first of the new era of Formula 3 in which the Eurasian championship was not the only series running to Formula 3 regulations, as the Formula 3 Americas championship hosted it's inaugural season - the first FIA sanctioned junior series in either the North or South American continents. 2019 would also be the last of the Eurasian championship, as for 2020, the series would be split into the European championship and the Asian championship, to reflect the growing popularity of Asian Formula 4.
Heading into the season, all attention was on the Mücke-Precision Formula duo of Anglo-Irish Formula 4 champion Sabrina Mann and Joey Mawson, who duly swept the first four races of the season. However, from round 3, American Raven Roth was drafted into Prema Powerteam from F3 Americas to replace the under-performing Dennis Hauger and promptly set the Eurasian championship alight, taking a grand chelem in her debut race at Imola. The battle for championship honours would be fought between Roth, who although switching focus to the Eurasian championship continued to compete in F3 Americas, Mann and Mawson.
Teams and drivers
Notes:
- 1 - Due to the SMP Restov Racing operation withdrawing due to lack of funds, Christopherson Racing were allocated a second car. Imani Burrell, third in AIF4, was signed to the seat thanks to her Visit Florida money. [1]
- 2 - Following poor perfomances, Dennis Hauger was sent back to F4. In his place, American Raven Roth took the place.
- 3 - Following unsportsman behaviour in Motegi I, Zidan was banned for Imola. He was replaced with Italian Alessandro De Crescenzo.
