DUBAI: Nothing can stop Giti Tire and the F3 Asian Championship Certified by FIA series from bringing forward its action-packed racing in 2021. And this year, the excitement will be viewable by fans around the world live by web-stream.

The races will take place between January 29 and February 20, 2021, with five full rounds to determine the champion of this year’s series.
With a focus on performance, safety, and efficiency, the Formula 3 Asian Championship series provides great opportunities for these top performers to join Formula 2 and even Formula 1 competition in the future. In fact, Pietro Fittipaldi and Nikita Mazepin are just two recent drivers in the Giti-sponsored F3 Asia series who have used the development to participate in the highest level of F1 action.
