The 2019 Formula European Masters was going to be a multi-event, Formula 3 open-wheel single seater motor racing championship held across Europe. The championship would feature Formula 3 cars that conform to the former FIA Formula 3 regulations for the championship. The series was cancelled on March 22nd due to a lack of participating teams, having only six participating drivers confirmed on that date.[1]
