Oliver Goethe signs with Trident for 2023 Formula 3 season

Trident have confirmed the signing of Oliver Goethe for the 2023 FIA Formula 3 season. The German-Danish driver will make the graduation to F3 after claiming the 2022 Euroformula Open title.

Goethe has already raced in FIA F3, making two appearances in Campos Racing colours across the Budapest and Spa-Francorchamps weekends. After securing eighth in the Budapest Sprint Race, he followed that up with a P4 finish in the Feature Race at Spa. Goethe also appeared at the post-season F3 test in Jerez, driving for Trident across all three days.

He started his single-seater career in Spanish F4, completing his first full season in 2020 and finishing the year fifth in the standings. He moved to Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine in 2021 and followed that up with his title-winning Euroformula Open campaign in 2022.

“Oliver Goethe is without a doubt a promising young driver,” Trident Team Manager Giacomo Ricci said. “We are extremely proud to have him in our line-up for 2023 in FIA Formula 3 Championship and we look forward to a new season together. We were impressed by his debut in the category last season and by the excellent work done by the German-Danish driver’s technical staff during the postseason Test in Jerez last September. We welcome the new member of the Trident Motorsport Family with the certainty that we will build the right alchemy to reach important goals together.”

Goethe said that it was a great experience to test with the team in Jerez and that he would be targeting great results immediately in his first full F3 campaign.

“I am delighted to join Trident for my first full season in FIA F3. I drove with the team in Jerez, and it was a great experience. They are very professional and have achieved some great success in this championship. I know we are capable of some good results together, and I can’t wait to get the season started. Huge thanks to my sponsors and partners for their support so far and for being by side as I am taking an important step in my career. Thanks to ROFGO, Gulf Oil International, Tag Heuer, Venture Engineering, Pit Stop Monte Carlo, Bullet Sport Management, and of course my parents and my coach Stuart for all the help.”
