Motor racing championship

Jamie Green
Teams' Champion: ASM Formule 3
Nations Cup Champion: FRA France Rookie Cup Champion: Franck Perera

The 2004 Formula 3 Euro Series season was the second championship year of Europe's premier Formula Three series. The championship consisted of ten rounds – each with two races – held at a variety of European circuits. Each weekend consisted of 1 hour and 30 minutes of free practice on Friday – in either one or two sessions – and two 30-minute qualifying sessions. This was followed by a c.110 km race on Saturday and a c.80 km race on Sunday. Each qualifying session awarded one bonus point for pole position and each race awarded points for the top eight finishers, with ten points per win.

Midseason changes

ASM driver Éric Salignon missed the last two rounds at Brno and Hockenheim, but was not immediately replaced. Adrian Sutil left Team Kolles to take over Salignon's #27 car at Hockenheim, and his Kolles seat was taken by Maximilian Götz.
At Team KMS, Alexandros Margaritis was replaced by Brazilian Ruben Carrapataso from the Nürburgring onwards. Margaritis returned to the series with a new entry from the German F3 Cup (and former Eurseries) team, AB Racing Performance.
At Swiss Racing Team, Dennis Furchheim was replaced by Alejandro Núñez, after missing rounds 3 and 5 and failing to qualify at Pau (round 4). His team-mate, Fernando Rees, missed rounds 3 and 4 and the #20 car was later driven by Peter Elkmann.
Part-time appearances included Britain's Derek Hayes in a third Team Ghinzani entry at Brno
TME's Ross Zwolsman failed to make any further appearances after the first round
The Coloni Motorsport drivers returned to the Italian Formula Three Championship after the first two rounds
Japan's Kohei Hirate made his Euro Series debut in a fourth Prema Powerteam entry at Zandvoort and Hockenheim.

Bold – Pole

Italics – Fastest Lap |} † — Drivers did not finish the race, but were classified as they completed over 90% of the race distance.

1 Note: Éric Salignon's pole position for race 1 at Pau was initially withdrawn due to a 10-place grid penalty for an engine change after an accident in race 1. Salignon's team successfully claimed force majeure and the pole was reinstated, but the bonus point was not awarded.

Rookie Cup

Rookie drivers are only eligible for the Rookie Cup title if they have not previously competed in a national or international Formula 3 championship.
