Jenzer Motorsport has completed its 2023 line-up, with Taylor Barnard set to make his debut in the category.
The Briton steps up after finishing second in German ADAC Formula 4 last year.
He also competed in Formula 4 UAE, finishing ninth and in Italian F4, where he finished eighth.
Barnard made his first steps into Formula 3 machinery at the post-season test in Jerez last year, testing with the Jenzer team.
“I am very happy to continue working with Jenzer Motorsport after a successful test in Jerez,” Barnard said.
“We’ve made good progress over the winter and I’m more than pleased to start the FIA Formula 3 season!
“This is by far the biggest step in my career and it will be a challenge, but definitely one I’m up for! I would like to thank everyone at PHM Racing for this great opportunity that will make it possible for me to drive at Jenzer Motorsport in 2023.”
Barnard joins fellow rookies Nikita Bedrin and Alejandro Garcia at the Swiss team.
Team principal Andreas Jenzer added: “We got to know Taylor as a very bright driver who doesn’t need long to feel good on a new track.
“This ability will be a huge asset for him given the limited track time in FIA F3 racing events. Taylor immediately shows strong pace and a quick adaptation, although of course it is clear that there is a learning curve for him to do, too.
“In any case, we are looking forward to the new season together with our drivers very positively.”
Barnard is currently competing in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship, where he sits second in the championship.
Jenzer finished their 2022 campaign in ninth.
