2023 Euroformula Open Championship
The 2023 Euroformula Open Championship is a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seater open wheel formula racing cars held across Europe. The championship features drivers competing in Euroformula Open Championship specification Dallara 320 chassis cars. It is the tenth Euroformula Open Championship season.
The season consists of seven race weekends, started in late April and will span until October.[1]
Teams and drivers
All teams utilize the Dallara 320 chassis. The 2023 season was scheduled to see a body kit upgrade for the chassis as well as the introduction of larger 17-inch tyres, but these plans were later scrapped.[2][3] The tyre supplier was originally changed from Michelin to Hankook, before being changed again to Pirelli ahead of the second round of the season.[4][5] A Gold Cup was introduced for drivers aged 35 and above. A trophy at every race is awarded for the winning driver in the category, but no classification or points system was introduced.[6]

Race calendar
A provisional eight-round calendar was announced at the penultimate round of the 2022 championship, on 22 September 2022.[1] This planned schedule saw the rounds at Imola, Estoril and the Pau Grand Prix leaving the calendar, with rounds at Algarve and Mugello added instead. The calendar was updated on 24 January 2023, with the Pau Grand Prix reintroduced to the schedule. The 80th edition of the Grand Prix was to replace the round at Mugello.[18] However, on 5 May 2023, the series announced the cancellation of its races across the Pau Grand Prix weekend because of the requirement to run on sustainable fuel set by the Grand Prix organizers. On 17 May 2023, the Mugello round was reinstated into the calendar.
