2017 Euroformula Open Championship

The 2017 Euroformula Open Championship was a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seat open wheel formula racing cars that held across Europe. The championship will feature drivers competing in two-litre Formula Three racing cars built by Italian constructor Dallara which conform to the technical regulations, or formula, for the championship. It was the fourth Euroformula Open Championship season.

Previous: 2016 Next: 2018

The season was dominated by Harrison Scott, who holds the record for most wins, poles and fastest laps in a rookie season of the Euroformula Open Championship (but he wasn't eligible to the rookie's championship due to his 2016 Masters of Formula 3 experience).[1] He clinched drivers' title at Monza with two rounds to spare and mostly by his race results was granted teams' title to RP Motorsport. Drivex driver Nikita Troitskiy finished as runner-up, losing to Scott by 118 points. Troitkiy won the rookies' championship. Devlin DeFrancesco won race at Circuito de Jerez and completed the top-three in the driver standings. DeFrancesco became the Spanish Formula 3 champion.

Footnotes
  1. Drugovich set the fastest time in the qualifying and actually started from the pole position, but he was guest driver, so the point for pole was given to Nikita Troitskiy.
