He is set to compete in the three remaining rounds of the 2017 season as preparation for a full campaign next year.
“Racing with us is the ideal preparation for the 2018 season,” said team principal Timo Rumpfkeil.
“Our goal is to teach him as much as possible during the three upcoming race events to give him an advantage next season.”
Florescu has spent 2017 competing in the EuroFormula Open with Campos Racing and Fortec Motorsport. He is currently ninth in the standings with a best finish of sixth.
He also spent two years competing in the British Formula 4 with Carlin after recovering from a serious injury he sustained in karting.
Florescu has never raced with Motopark, but tested with the team in 2013.
“I knew many of the people in the team and so I felt immediately at home,” he said.

“Team Motopark are not only very quick in the championship, but have also impressed me with their rigorous processes and clear structure. They will no doubt be able to help me understand the FIA F3 car, tyres and championship and even though it won’t be an easy endeavour as the level in the championship is really high, they will make me push myself during these three races.
“On top of everything all the tracks are also new to me, so it will be a steep learning curve but I welcome the chance to get ready for next year!”
Florescu will join Joel Eriksson, David Beckmann, Keyvan Andres and Marino Sato.
