PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION FOR AN INTERNATIONAL RACING CAREER

The racing events of the Formula 3 Association were a stepping stone for real icons: Michael Schumacher won the International German Formula 3 Championship in 1990. Jarno Trulli, Nick Heidfeld and Gary Paffett followed. All of them achieved international success in Formula 1 and the German Touring Car Championship, DTM. 

In most cases, the ATS Formula 3 Cup provides a professional environment for former kart drivers with talent for Formula racing. Those who really want to achieve success, earn their spurs in this series. Young drivers get a chance to prepare for the next steps of their racing career in a professional environment. They expand their skills as Formula drivers working closely with the racing cars, the engineers and the media. The ATS Formula 3 Cup is the general qualification for motorsports. Only future professionals will succeed.

The ATS Formula 3 Cup is successful in both meeting international standards and being committed to the German Formula 3 sports. This rule was stipulated by the people responsible at the foundation of the Formula 3 Association on 29 November 1975. Predictable, honest, consistent and fair are the attributes which the Formula 3 Association values and lives by. It is a union of drivers, engineers and entrants of Formula 3 as well as of the industry, race services and other supporters who are committed to promoting Formula 3 sports. Since the foundation of the Formula3 Association the Formula 3 racing series was held every year, making it the most consistent national series since 1975.

The ATS Formula 3 Cup has a good standing in the international motorsports scene. Every year, an average of nearly 20,000 spectators watch the races at the highest sportive level. Teams from all parts of Europe compete with drivers from all over the world for top positions in the ATS Formula 3 Cup. A strong media interest, the presence at big events and the collaboration with the ADAC guide the ATS Formula 3 Cup into a positive future.
