Virtual Open Wheel Series Season 3

Virtual Open Wheel Series Season 3 was the 3rd season of the Virtual Open Wheel Series. Season 3 was a departure from previous VOWS seasons, as the 3rd season was running higher-tier GP2 cars instead of the GP3 types of cars used in Season 1 and in Season 2.

The championship was contested by 14 different teams, a new league record, on 8 separate rounds. Season 3 was the first to have only one race take place per weekend, as opposed to two races per weekend in Season 1 and Season 2.

Season 3 saw the unsuccessful championship defense of Dimitris Giannopoulos and Team Iris. Eight-Six eRacing won their second Team's championship on round 6 in Italy while Max Reichel took his first Driver's championship the following weekend in Brazil.
