Dallara 320 - Super Formula Light (F2 / F3 / F4)

The Dallara 320 is the latest evolution of Dallara’s Formula 3 platform, used in the FIA Formula 3 Championship and other top junior single-seater series. Built around a carbon-fiber survival cell and a naturally aspirated 3.4L Mecachrome V6, it’s a high-downforce, momentum-based racer that bridges the gap between F4-style learning and full Formula cars.

Key Specs (BoP-dependent, typical sim values)

  • Powertrain: 3.4L Mecachrome naturally aspirated V6 (mid-mounted, longitudinal)

  • Total Output: ~275 hp (205 kW)

  • Redline: ~6,200–6,500 rpm

  • Transmission: 6-speed paddle-shift sequential

  • Weight: ~670 kg minimum

  • Dimensions: ~4,580 mm long × 1,800 mm wide × 950 mm tall | Wheelbase ~2,780 mm

  • Tires: Slick racing tires on 13-inch wheels

  • Brakes: Steel discs with racing calipers

  • Layout: Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive

In the Simulator Feel

The Dallara 320 is a precision-first open wheel car that rewards clean lines, patience, and momentum. It has enough downforce to feel planted at speed, but not so much that it hides mistakes — every braking point, steering input, and throttle application matters. Compared to faster formula cars, it’s approachable, but it still demands discipline and a smooth driving style to keep the tires in the sweet spot.

Engine & Sound: The naturally aspirated V6 delivers a crisp, linear powerband with a clean, mechanical scream as revs climb. It doesn’t have the brute force of a turbo or hybrid formula car; instead, the sound builds progressively, making it easier to judge engine load and throttle application. In the sim, it gives you that classic junior formula feel — responsive, light, and vocal without being overwhelming.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Predictable front end and stable chassis balance, with mild understeer if you enter too hot.

  • Traction: Manageable rear grip that punishes abrupt throttle inputs but remains forgiving compared to higher-downforce cars.

  • Braking: Strong, consistent braking performance with good modulation and easy threshold feel.

  • Top Speed: Respectable for a junior formula car, though it relies more on corner speed than straight-line power.

Driving Style Tip: Carry speed, stay smooth, and prioritize exit momentum over late braking heroics. The Dallara 320 shines on technical tracks where consistency and rhythm matter more than raw horsepower.

Livery & Aesthetics: The car has the clean, aggressive look of a modern junior formula machine — low nose, wide front wing, sculpted sidepods, and an unmistakably serious single-seater stance. In livery form, it looks crisp and purposeful, especially with bold academy-style color schemes and sponsor striping.

Whether you’re learning open-wheel fundamentals or chasing tenths in a competitive league, the Dallara 320 is an excellent simulator car — fast, disciplined, and deeply rewarding once you get it hooked up.
