The Race4Speed F3 Series is a sim racing competition, organised by Race4Speed.
The series started in 2014 as a four-event championship, named as R4S European F3 Cup. It expanded a lot one season later, now called "F3 World Series". The series set a Race4Speed record in the first round of 2016, when 28 drivers attended at the event.
In 2017, the series will switch to Automobilista, paving the way for Race4Speed to switch off the outdated rFactor game.
