Exciting news revealed
25th enero 2019
After a few strong negotiations over winter, we are excited to announce a big step ahead for us. We are strongly happy to finalised a deal with HWA AG for their brand new team on the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship. E-perfomance will give Race Engineering services to the team for its new FIA Formula 3 program. This deal will hopefully lead to a long term relationship between both parties with a potential extension on other series/ programs in the future.
Long-time Mercedes motorsport partner HWA is one of the teams that will contest the new Formula 1-supporting FIA Formula 3 Championship.
The team is one of 10 that has been selected for the new era of one-make F3, details of which could be announced at last December meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council.
HWA has most famously run Mercedes’ DTM team for decades, but the manufacturer quits the series after last year´s DTM finale at Hockenheim.
It is also the builder of the Mercedes engines that have won multiple European F3 titles, is entering Formula E for the 2018/19 season and is involved in R-Motorsport’s Aston Martin DTM project.
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has been a shareholder in HWA, and sources suggest that its new project absorbs a percentage of the old DTM budget to bring on the manufacturer’s young proteges.
