GT Sport today announced that an extra round is to be added to the 2019 calendar of the Euroformula Open. The additional round will take place at the French circuit of Pau on May 18-19, as part of the world-famous Grand Prix de Pau event.

This will bring to nine the number of rounds scheduled for the Euroformula Open, underlying its growth among the European single-seater formulae. As already announced, the F.3-based series by GT Sport will further raise its profile in 2019 by allowing three different engine options (Toyota Piedrafita, Mercedes HWA and Volkswagen Spiess).

Pau has built a long tradition of hosting Formula 3 events and is one of the urban tracks with longest history, which traces back to the ‘30s when it hosted the French Grand Prix.

Jesús Pareja, CEO of GT Sport, commented: “We are delighted to enrich the Euroformula Open calendar with the Pau round, and to deliver drivers and teams an ever-improving experience. Alongside top-tier F.1-graded tracks, they will now have the possibility to test their abilities also on street circuit. Urban tracks are an intrinsic part of motor racing, and there was a demand from the teams to have a street track included in our package. We could not think of a more exciting and legendary option than Pau.”
