2013 GP3 champion, Daniil Kvyat

The 2013 GP3 Series was the fourth season of the GP3 Series, a motor racing championship that acted as a third-tier feeder series for Formula One and sister series GP2.

The season introduced a new car, the GP3/13, built by Italian racing car manufacturer Dallara. [1] The engine was upgraded to a naturally-aspirated 400bhp V6 unit supplied by AER, [2] [3] [4] and the car also featured a new nose, sidepods and engine cover. [5] The car was estimated to be three seconds per lap than the previous chassis, which was proven correct during pre-season testing. [6] [7]

The championship title was secured by Daniil Kvyat with a race to spare after three consecutive feature race wins in Spa, Monza and Abu Dhabi. [8] He had a thirty-point advantage on ART Grand Prix's Facu Regalia, who finished as runner-up. Regalia's teammate Conor Daly, who was the feature race winner at Valencia, finished in third. Tio Ellinas, who led the drivers' standings until the first race at Spa, bookended the season with victories in both the first race and the final race of the season to finish fourth. Jack Harvey completed the top five, helping ART Grand Prix to claim the teams' championship. [9]

World Touring Car Championship team Bamboo Engineering replaced Atech CRS Grand Prix. [32]

Ocean Racing Technology withdrew from both the GP3 Series and sister series GP2 after the 2012 season. Their place in the GP3 Series was taken by Formula Renault 2.0 series regulars Koiranen Motorsport, competing under the name Koiranen GP. [6] [41]

Driver changes

Reigning champions ART Grand Prix saw two drivers leave the team, with Daniel Abt graduating to GP2 with the team and Aaro Vainio moving to new team Koiranen GP. [46] [42] They were replaced by Facu Regalia, who competed in two rounds in 2012 for Jenzer Motorsport and Atech CRS GP, and reigning British Formula 3 champion Jack Harvey. [12] [13]

MW Arden brought a brand new line up, with reigning champion Mitch Evans graduating with the team to GP2, Matias Laine moving to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, and David Fumanelli moving to Trident Racing. [47] [48] [49] [38] They were replaced by two drivers from the Red Bull Junior Team, Formula Renault 2.0 Alps champion Daniil Kvyat and FIA European Formula 3 Championship driver Carlos Sainz Jr., as well as Robert Vișoiu, who previously raced for Jenzer Motorsport. [14]

Carlin also signed three new drivers, with Alex Brundle moving to the FIA World Endurance Championship, William Buller deciding to focus on the newly formed European Formula Three Championship, and António Félix da Costa moving to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series. [50] [51] [52] [53] They were replaced by Luís Sá Silva, who moved from the now-defunct Formula 3 Euro Series, Nick Yelloly, who had been racing in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2012, and Eric Lichtenstein, who placed third in the 2012 British Formula Ford championship.
