The 2026 FIA Formula 3 season reaches its absolute conclusion with two final days of testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Teams face their final opportunity to collect crucial data while drivers who have already signed for next season get more seat time in their machinery before the winter break arrives in preparation for 2027.
Here is how the schedule plays out across the two days. Both sessions kick off at 09:00 local time and run until the lunch break at 12:00. Day 1 sees the action resume at 14:00 local time and run until the chequered flag falls at 17:00. On the second day, the cars head back out slightly earlier at 13:00 local time, with the final chequered flag waving at 16:00.
Looking at the entry list, there is just one change compared to the lineup that tested in Jerez. Yevan David steps in at Van Amersfoort Racing for the Barcelona running. The remaining 29 drivers return for these two days to officially round out the 2026 campaign.
For context on the pace around this circuit, Campos Racing set the fastest time of the test here last year, when Théophile Nael put down a 1:28.398 during the second morning segment. Fans can follow the action through the live blog hosted on the official FIA Formula 3 website, alongside behind-the-scenes updates across official social channels.
