Formula 1 Super License for best F3 drivers

In 2011 the FIA has launched a new race calendar for the best Formula 3 drivers called 'FIA International Formula 3 Trophy' with famous F3 races such as Zandvoort and Macau involved. The FIA furthermore announced that the three best-placed drivers will be awarded with a Formula 1 Super License.

In addition to the 'Masters of Formula 3' at Zandvoort and the tradition-rich Macau Formula 3 GP, the Trophy comprises the new Formula 3 race in South Korea and the revived F3 meeting in Pau, Southern France, as well as the Formula 3 races at Spa-Francorchamps and Hockenheim. The season kick-off will be held within the framework of the Formula 3 Euro Series (DTM season kick-off) at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg.

The 'FIA International Formula 3 Trophy' doesn't represent an independent series but is supposed to increase the value of the existing Formula 3 series. Condition for the participation in the new ranking is the contesting of a full season in one of the existing Formula 3 championships. The points system of the Trophy is Formula 1 orientated.
