Euro Series drops Pau round

The Formula 3 Euro Series has dropped its round at Pau, following yesterday's announced changes to the DTM calendar.

The re-shuffled DTM calendar removed the round at Mugello and also swapped the French round from Le Mans to Dijon, but the decision to push the season-opening round at Hockenheim back by three weeks has forced the supporting F3 championship to change its regular calendar.

Last season, the Euro Series skipped the DTM round at Lausitz and joined the World Touring Car event at Pau two weeks later, but the revised DTM calendar means the season opener at Hockenheim now clashes with the WTCC Pau date.

The changes mean that next season the Euro Series will hold all ten rounds in support of DTM events.

2009 F3 Euro Series calendar May 16-17 Hockenheimring (D) May 30-31 Lausitz (D) June 27-28 Norisring (D) July 18-19 Zandvoort (NL) August 1-2 Oschersleben (D) August 15-16 Nürburgring (D) September 5-6 Brands Hatch (GB) September 19-20 Barcelona (E) October 10-11 Dijon (F) October 24-25 Hockenheimring (D)
