The 2013 European F3 Open Championship was the fifth European F3 Open Championship season.
Despite missing the opening round of the season, Ed Jones of Team West-Tec was crowned champion by nine points on dropped scores over RP Motorsport driver Sandy Stuvik. The final championship standings were determined after two appeals had been lodged,[1] and upheld, with the Real Automóvil Club de España.
All cars were powered by Toyota engines. All Class A cars are equipped with the Dallara F312 chassis, while Copa Class cars are equipped with the Dallara F308 chassis.
An eight-round provisional calendar was revealed on 2 November 2012.[32] This was modified on 7 February 2013,[33] after GT Sport organisers, for practical and technical reasons, moved the Algarve event one week earlier and replaced the Hungaroring event with a race in Jerez, moving it two weeks earlier. All rounds will support the International GT Open series.

RP alleged Jones had broken series rules by testing a Formula Renault car at Barcelona last month. West-Tec counter-protested that an RP session away from its designated test venue also broke the rules. Both cases are set to be heard by Spain's ASN, the RACE, in December.
