The 2024 GB3 Championship is a motor racing championship for open wheel , formula racing cars held across Europe. The 2024 season is the ninth organised by the British Racing Drivers' Club in the United Kingdom, and the fourth season under the GB3 moniker after rebranding from the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship in mid-2021. The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded drivers. The season is run over eight triple-header rounds and started on 30 March at Oulton Park .[1]
Teams and drivers
All teams are British-registered.[2]
Isaac Barashi was announced to be making his series debut for Chris Dittmann Racing at the Hungaroring, but instead elected to replace Nikita Bedrin at MP Motorsport in FRECA .[34]
Race calendar
The provisional calendar was announced on 22 November 2023. After the series was awarded FIA international status in 2022, another international event was added in 2023, with the championship's debut at the Hungaroring replacing the round at Snetterton .[35]
