In December 2015, it was announced Beckmann would graduate to European Formula 3 for 2016, whilst continuing his collaboration with Mücke. On account of his age, Beckmann was forced to miss the first two rounds of the season, making his debut at the third round at Pau.{{cite web|url=https://www.autosport.com/f3/news/122296/euro-f3-seat-for-15yearold-german|title=German teenager David Beckmann gets 2016 Mucke European F3 seat|last=Simmons|first=Marcus|work=Autosport|date=December 19, 2015|access-date=October 14, 2016}} Nonetheless, Beckmann claimed a fastest lap and two podiums to finish seventh in the Rookie Championship and fifteenth overall. For 2017, Beckmann continued to race in European Formula 3, but switched to Van Amersfoort Racing.{{cite news|url=https://www.motorsport.com/eurof3/news/beckmann-moves-to-van-amersfoort-racing-for-second-f3-campaign-858915/|title=Beckmann moves to Van Amersfoort Racing for second F3 campaign|last=Gruz|first=David|date=12 December 2016|publisher=Motorsport.com|accessdate=12 December 2016|archive-date=20 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220153256/http://www.motorsport.com/eurof3/news/beckmann-moves-to-van-amersfoort-racing-for-second-f3-campaign-858915/|url-status=dead}} After three rounds where he failed to score a point with the outfit, Beckmann made a mid-season change to Motopark where he fared better, amassing 45 points and ending up 16th in his second year in the category.{{cite news|url=https://www.autosport.com/f3/news/130014/beckmann-switches-to-motopark|title=David Beckmann makes mid-season switch to join Motopark|last=Simmons|first=Marcus|work=Autosport|date=9 June 2017|accessdate=14 June 2017}}

In 2019, Beckmann competed for the French team ART Grand Prix in the newly formed FIA Formula 3 Championship.

In 2020, he returned to Formula 3, this time with Trident, and finished sixth overall after two wins and four further podium finishes.

In 2021, Beckmann moved up to the FIA Formula 2 Championship with the Czech team Charouz Racing System, where was joined by Guilherme Samaia.{{Cite web|title=Beckmann and Samaia to form new-look Charouz line-up for 2021|url=https://www.fiaformula2.com/Latest/1a5D9l3MXCfzCVTPGT0yaD/beckmann-and-samaia-to-form-new-look-charouz-line-up-for-2021|access-date=2021-09-10|website=FIA_F2® - The Official F2® Website|language=en}} Throughout the first half of the season Beckmann showed impressive performances, such as a third-place finish in his debut race at Sakhir and second place in race 2 in Baku, which, along with two further points finishes, propelled him to 13th in the standings after four rounds.{{Cite web|title=2021 Round 1 post-Sprint Race 1 press conference|url=https://www.fiaformula2.com/Latest/113O3wF2kbngYV90vN11L9/2021-round-1-post-sprint-race-1-press-conference|access-date=2021-09-10|website=FIA_F2® - The Official F2® Website|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=2021 Round 3 post-Sprint Race 2 press conference|url=https://www.fiaformula2.com/Latest/6epK8O9MAshgikoMZi7ZRm/2021-round-3-post-sprint-race-2-press-conference|access-date=2021-09-10|website=FIA_F2® - The Official F2® Website|language=en}} At the start of September however it was announced Enzo Fittipaldi would replace Beckmann from the next round at Monza, due to the German having to shift his focus to the family business for financial issues.{{Cite web|title=Fittipaldi replaces Beckmann at Charouz Racing System|url=https://www.fiaformula2.com/Latest/3MfV2y8jcPtnuQMpmrNt3e/fittipaldi-replaces-beckmann-at-charouz-racing-system|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210901100754/https://www.fiaformula2.com/Latest/3MfV2y8jcPtnuQMpmrNt3e/fittipaldi-replaces-beckmann-at-charouz-racing-system |archive-date=2021-09-01 }} But just a few days before the start of that weekend Beckmann signed up to race for Campos in place of Matteo Nannini.{{Cite web|title=Beckmann replaces Nannini at Campos for Round 5 at Monza|url=https://www.fiaformula2.com/Latest/4iZ5slxJSSL1jqWVJqQzFn/beckmann-replaces-nannini-at-campos-for-round-5-at-monza|access-date=2021-09-10|website=FIA_F2® - The Official F2® Website|language=en}} He competed for the Spanish team in the next two rounds, scoring a best finish of fifth at Monza, although Beckmann would ultimately be unable to finish his season, being replaced by Olli Caldwell.

In 2022, Beckmann originally made four cameo appearances, but had later been announced as a permanent driver. The first of which he drove for Charouz's No. 23 car at Imola in place of Cem Bölükbaşı, finishing 8th in the feature race. He then drove for Van Amersfoort Racing's No. 25 car at Silverstone in place of Amaury Cordeel. He would then compete again for the same team, but in the No. 24, at Le Castellet and Budapest in place of Jake Hughes.{{Cite web |last=Wood |first=Ida |date=2022-07-18 |title=Beckmann back in at VAR in F2 as Hughes catches COVID-19 |url=https://formulascout.com/beckmann-back-in-at-var-in-f2-as-hughes-catches-covid-19/96401 |access-date=2022-07-30 |website=Formula Scout |language=en-US}} However, Van Amersfoort Racing decided to replace Hughes with Beckmann for the rest of the season, starting at Spa-Francorchamps, thus his cameo deputization driver role would become a permanent driver role until the final round at Abu Dhabi, where he would be replaced by Juan Manuel Correa.{{Cite web |title=David Beckmann replaces Jake Hughes in FIA F2 |url=https://www.vanamersfoortracing.nl/news/2022/david-beckmann-replaces-jake-hughes-in-fia-f2/ |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=www.vanamersfoortracing.nl |language=en}}
